    Problem is everyone wants to play with that bully even now. The world wants access to the American market since they are by far the largest and they consume the most.

      At the moment, until the current administration tanks the economy and destroys what is left of the middle class.

      China my dude. You can hardly make a movie in hollywood these days if it can’t appeal to the Chinese on some level.

      The Chinese consumer market flirts with being larger than the American one. Per capita they spend less, but there’s four times as many of them and this balances out.

      I think at the immediate moment the Chinese consumer market is very slightly smaller than the USA, which makes your “by far” kinda comical to read. But in the last five years China and the USA have swapped places a couple of times for largest consumer market and projections to 2030 will have China consistently beating the USA by that point.

      So smart money doesn’t want to play with the bully. He’s falling over.

        China doesnt have a fair market to compete in so although it seems like it will over take the US people are very hesitant to switch focus away from the US.

                    you seem genuinely offended that I dont consider China a fair market. Nothing is going to convince you out of this position you havent reasoned your way into.
