Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
As I said in an earlier comment, you’d have to buy a house in the Chicago area for $0 to avoid the purchase being a very negative financial investment over time. Even then, eventually it would be a negative investment, but at least the $0 purchase buys you some years of financial well being. Of course, the problem is that houses aren’t selling for $0 (yet).
Things are affordable for a reason, I’m sure you are all smart enough to figure out why.
I don’t to sound crude, but that ain’t yellow rain running down my leg.
