Snip:
"Following the path of expanding and opening up is China's best response to the trade dispute between China and the United States, and is also the responsibility that major countries should have to the world," said an editorial in Xinhua news agency.
"The wise man builds bridges, the fool builds walls," it commented. "With economic globalization there are no secluded and isolated islands. No country can lightly build fences to stop the tides of history.
The unflattering words didn't end there, the New York Times noted. Official Communist Party newspaper the People's Daily said Trump's administration had an "obsession with playing the disgraceful role of global economic disruptor."
From the time of its first trade provocations until now, capricious behavior has become the norm from America. It not only wears away and squanders the countrys reputation, but it also allows China to see more clearly the face of the Trump administration, one that is rude, unreasonable, selfish and headstrong, an editorial read.

(21,629 posts)That's something I've said many times. drumpf ran on a platform of isolation and xenophobia. We live in a global economy now and you just can't expect to compete if you don't even take the field.
Not just economically either... socially, militarily, scientifically.......... quick, name a fortune 500 company that limits its dealings to the USA.......... they don't exist. success depends on participation in the global community, and drumpf is setting us up for spectacular failure.

They actually think that we can "unglobalize" things and everything will be better
There's no reasoning with the willfully ignorant!

If China and the EU coordinate to start pricing oil in Euros, the USA could literally be squeezed out of international markets for good. I believe Europe has avoided that move out of difference to us, but with Trump kicking them around, they just may to hell with us and try to work out a deal with China.

(6,401 posts)So....
China suggests Dump is a fool.
Russia suggests they have Dump dead to rights.
Germany and France suggests that the USA is a country they can't work with anymore.
But yeah..."We're 'murica Bitch!"
An absolute ignorant statement that gives the thinking challenged and prone to emotional impulses the excuse that everything will work out for the better....and yet, it won't.
