Because when Biden and his group were in power what happened with China?
The policies before trump, including Bush handing our ports to the communists has been get rich with slave labor and let the US become a non productive, garbage buying, downward spiraling Nation. As long as the handful that are left after consolidating rich and powerful get their bucks.
The work accomplished to try to turn some of this around and actually have our lost sheep people give a darn has been like trying to move the moon!
Who cares if the Uyghurs have their organs removed and sold and may be experimented on by bio-chem companies, who cares if raped every night teens need suicide nets to keep them alive and working as long as a few make huge $$!

Genuine question.
Imagine I am British and don't come around here much anymore. That I've been busy and don't really keep up to date.
I've seen dozens of references to this and I know his son is apparently a bit shifty and has ties with China but why the panic?
What exactly do people think he's going to do?
A simple and real explanation would be preferable over some clever nicknames and hearsay with some vauge talk about sniffing kids heads.

It’s just a scare tactic to make the election of a family of rodents, for a second time, seem like a good idea.
Both sides do this, especially when their own side has nothing to offer. They go negative on the opponent.
You are a moderator? You are sure on that family a lot, Are you carrying the plague?

I expect BTC to be outlawed because of the difficulty in tracing transactions for people that want to hide assets, make illegal transaction, etc.
BTC mining is unprofitable because of the cost of electricity to mine it unless a mining outfit can get free electricity or solar farm that generates 10s to 100s of kilowatts. If the the BTC network has few miners to handle transactions then transactions will take forever to complete. If I were a buyer of goods I wouldn't want to wait days, weeks or months to get the goods from a merchant that needs to wait for the transaction to be confirmed or pay a 10 to 20 percent transaction fee to get miners to process the transaction.
Many countries have already outlawed it because it undermines their fiat. Many other countries may follow suit. I personally wouldn't want to take the risk of investing in Bitcoin.
Gold might be a better choice but still have convert it fiat to realize its value.

You missed the Hunter Biden laptop that was all about how he was arranging backdoor deals with China to sell out the US and Biden was receiving a cut off the top of every single one of them to personally enrich himself?

Trump probably thought he was leading by example.
I kind of hope Trump buys up 100 sq miles of Scotland's wildlife areas and turns it into a parking lot...I will enjoy your posts more then...lol

Much of the manufacturing base in the US has shifted to China over the past 30 years due to their slave like labor practices. Trump tried to stop the exporting of these jobs and bring them back to the US.
It's pretty hard for me to roll my eyes all the way to the back of my head... but that's certainly the instinct here.
You do realize that it is quite difficult / expensive to have apparel made in the US nowadays? Branded goods are typically sub-contracted out. Trump sells his name / likeness and goods are made and sold. Do you seriously believe Trump is visiting a factory in China to oversee how his neckties get made?
When you are in business, sometimes you have to hold your nose even if you dislike something.
Holy moly.
So you basically have no position on this. Gotcha.
Offshoring manufacturing is bad! Leftists don't care about who is making iphones!
But wait, offshoring manufacturing is good! Trump is making smart business decisions!
It's so hard to be a silver-spooned businessman these days. We must sympathize with Trump, he's just a victim here.

You have no effin' clue do you?
The reason I dislike Trump so much was the well documented bullying of a relative of mine while building his Menie golf resort. By the way both golf resorts he has in Scotland have extensive car parks.

You don't think Trump could have stopped it?
