Trump's tariffs will help the people beat their addiction while returning jobs to the US.
The man is a legend.
Maybe now the other countries affected will review their own blockers to free trade and come to the negotiating table.
If they're simply going to be a broker for Chinese crap though they shouldn't even bother sitting down. The US will need assurances they too will put import tariffs on China.
If anybody has any better ideas on how to prevent the whole world becoming China, I'm sure Trump and his administration are all ears.

I don't want the Chinese to rule the world. The current trajectory is taking us to that dystopia. Sorry you won't be able to buy poorly made tat from Amazon anymore, or some technology that was built by copying the genius of western designers, but some things are more important than "stuff". Fill your life up with meaning rather than material.

Only if the competition is on a level playing field. We're competing with our hands tied behind our backs by minimum wages, regulations, and copyright law. The Chinese disregard those things and thus undercut or steal any innovation the West comes up with.
Wake up, dopey.

the only way anyone can rule the world is through a monetary system that everyone believes in and that would only be loosely. china is just becoming more and more influential, especially since they are invading other countries and purchasing seats and minions in influential positions through legal fictions and your own fiat dollars.

With money pumped into their economy by people so obsessed with material things they'd happily become slaves.
Trump will set you free.
