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.
