2. Capitalism

He's basically just talking about the effects of Capitalism. Apple helped spread capitalism to China. The Chinese government is stil battliing to prevent the expanded freedom and openess that capitalism brings with it, but I don't see all of this as a net negative necessarily. China is not our enemy, no matter what Trump says.

4. China is most definitely the enemy and to dismiss China as an enemy is a death sentence.

5. Just don't see it that way

Sorry. We have offices in Shanghai. It's mostly a corrupt cronie capitalistic system, but that's better than the alternartive IMO.

More than anything, China wants the US as a partner. They will be the largest economy in the world and dominate global trade, but that doesn't mean we won't gain from it if we play our cards right. If that transpires, China will be become more like us than us like them. Well, at least us before Trump brand fascism took over.

6. You are talking about trade when China is involved in so many nefarious deeds around the world

Trade is one thing and can still happen but with eyes wide open on what China is really doing. Most countries will trade with China but still realize they are most definitely an enemy not to be dismissed.

3. When all those billionaires complain about IP theft

in China, it is really our big business training them.
