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.
JB is getting some bad advice from his advisors (who he pays partially out of his own pocket). Every time he says something dumb like this he loses a fraction of a point in national marketability. He is already unelectable at the national level since every poll shows Americans want illegals deported, want crime controlled and think much of the protest activity is anarchist/Antifa generated. He will be made a fool of with his own quotes if he wants to get beyond Illinois.
