Yeah their strategy is to grow so large that they can just call the shots. I would be a ton of "western" politicians and business leaders are in their pockets too. Instead of a head on conflict they are going to slowly absorb the enemy. This is one area that I think Trump was right in, and the Dems (and neo-cons) seemed to be mostly in their pockets. I don't fully understand what Obama's China plan was.
- eunos 7y ago> I don't fully understand what Obama's China plan was. Built a strong United Front comprises of countries around China with the US at the top, especially the IP monopoly. While it takes a long time it will subliminally erode China's competitiveness. Quite similar to the plan to erode USSR's economy without a hot war between NATO and Warsaw's pact.
- throw_this_one 7y agoThat's what I assumed. Was the TPP that, or was there more to come? And if so, why was Hillary against it? Trumps plan looks better on the surface but I think it is bigly flawed. To try to take them head on but not actually doing much. And he really hasn't even tried to crank them with the tarrifs.
- eunos 7y agoHillary was against it, I believe because it was issue du jour. If she had been elected instead, pretty sure TPP would have been rebranded but passed nonetheless.
