    The measure at issue is known as the “outbound investment” provision. We have heard for years about the problem of manufacturing businesses shipping jobs overseas to China, with its low worker wages and low environmental standards. China typically forces businesses wanting to locate factories in its country to transfer their technology and intellectual property to Chinese firms, which can then use that to undercut competitors in global markets, with state support.

    This paragraph is dripping with liberal hypocrisy on so many levels.

        1: Continued reliance on Chinese manufacturing

        2: Poor wages are something liberalism absolutely gags for. Unions fought against it and liberals betray them every chance they get.

        3: Undercutting markets with your tech lead built on equal parts intellectual theft and brain drain is literally the American system.

        Those are the angles I read anyways.

      You sir, have added absolutely nothing to the conversation. This post is a waste of space.

        I bet I can waste more space in better faith and somehow be both more informative while contributing even less to the conversation!
