America’s “China Trade Deficit” Hits Critical National Security Mass
- 4 years ago
The US deficit with China hit a critical milestone in 2015. It now stands at a mind-numbing $1 billion each day , which $365 billion annual deficit continues to rise with the lift of China’s illegal export subsidies, sweatshop labor, pollution havens, and undervalued currency.
The failure to know that America’s Chinese import dependence has now reached critical mass as a national security issue comes from the very mind-numbing magnitude of the numbers involved.
One day’s worth of China’s trade surplus with the US buys 1,000 new cruise missiles that Beijing can point at Taipei or 100 anti-ship ballistic missiles to focus on American carriers. one week’s worth of China’s trade surplus finances the development of a minimum of three new Chinese carrier s to patrol the South China Sea and Indian Ocean or 20 new Yuan class diesel electric submarines to get in await Japanese destroyers or American aircraft carrier strike groups. And Beijing pays for its entire annual defense budget with a mere five months of what American consumers contribute to Beijing’s imperial fisc.
