China is engaged in an “economic blitzkrieg” aimed at replacing America as the world’s leading power, Attorney General William P. Barr said Thursday, asserting that the U.S. and Beijing are locked in an ideological battle that will determine whether the current democratic, free market system is replaced by China’s dictatorial, communist system. In a major speech in Michigan, Mr. Barr charged that a slate of major American businesses are being duped as they appease China’s communist rulers in a bid to gain market access and favorable trade status with Beijing, which seeks ultimately to dominate the global market. “The [Chinese Communist Party] rules with an

Ribicon is correct about what politicians and bueaucrats have done to destroy this company through the use of laws and regulations.
Barr is correct about what China is trying to to the world and the CCP actually calls for it. Communists are very good at hitting the weak points of capitalism in an effort to destroy it. The federal government works against us helping them and businesses that are ready at the drop of a hat to destroy American workers lives to make a few extra bucks importing products from a foreign country doesn't help. If you have ever watched Shark Tank" on TV, you see the rich "investors" constantly come up with the idea of taking whatever the new product is and producing it in China as the very first suggestion.

Barr is great at giving great speeches. However, he seems a bit lean on indictments.

The political class allowed this to happen, but the corporate big wigs didn't have to do it. I understand why corporations moved production to China, stock prices, better profits, cheaper labor, etc., but at some point your countries welfare has to play a part in these decisions. We went through something similar about 35 to 40 years ago with Japanese products. The difference being Japan wasn't out to dominate the world militarily. Putting millions of people out of work, and killing thousands of businesses didn't do this country any good while placing the security of the country in danger.

"Economic blitzkrieg" is a nuanced way for the Trump administration to say China is probably at war with stupid us, and we are responding by surrendering without firing a shot to the sneak attack called coronavirus. China may, if necessary, send more viruses, knowing scientists will insist on having the vaccines before releasing their unconstitutional hold on the country so we can go back to playing baseball. Maybe China will offer us their vaccines, which have worked so successfully over there. China is not our enemy - says Biden. White people are. Our statues honoring men who represent that greatest love Americans on both sides which was to give up their lives for their brother man -- that's the problem. They could also wait for all the cops to be ruined for protecting themselves against people who pathologically resist arrest, until more cities are allowed to be on fire as a show of solidarity, until all the radicals finally get what they want: to sell everyone protection insurance? or we collectively embrace evil being called good? or permanent revolution for the hell of it? Or until all the schools and churches have failed all the congregations, until the Pope steps up and endorses Biden's tear down the wall policy and his 0-carbon omission platform [which will save millions from the new sin against ecology]. Blitzkrieg - lightning war.

I wish AG Barr would stop worrying about China (Mike Pompeo is doing a fine job) and get busy on the DOJ...Barr's actual job. Let's light a fire under the glacial attorney Durham and get him moving. I don't understand the lack of urgency on this matter. Just look at all the Obama administration people who have been slow-walked out the back door: Lois Leonard, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton are prime examples.

Barr should be removed from office if this reflects his grasp of international politics. USA has had an intentional policy of de-industrializtion since at least Bill Clinton's first term, ramping up sharply on the Compassionate Conservative's watch. This is achieved through onerous federal regulations and taxes designed to reduce our manufacturing capacity to the bare minimum, a policy that threatens national security and that in a sane nation would result in charges of treason.
