Donald Trump: We need to go to war with China

Donald Trump was invited yesterday to speak on the Piers Morgan television show on CNN. One of the primary topics they discussed was in regards to our trade and business with China.

Trump spoke without subterfuge that it is the intention of China to hurt us financially and economically. They ruthlessly manipulate their currency to ensure that their trade goods are cheap in the United States, and that ours are too expensive on their mainland.

As someone who does business with China, in both manufacturing and real estate, Mr. Trump has a very good understanding of how the Chinese do business, and how to force them to come to the table in negotiation.

"America deals with the Chinese using diplomats, not savvy business

leaders." This was the primary problem Mr. Trump sees in our economic policy with China, and as such, we become easy prey for their ruthless tactics.

Trump also spoke on what he would do with China should be run and be elected as President. The very first thing he would do would be to implement in immediate 25% tariff on Chinese goods, which would bring them to the table very fast. Mr. Trump knows that the Chinese government lives on the razors edge with its people, and any minor disruption in the unequitable trade practices going on between them and the US would force them to respond swiftly and with intention.

Donald Trump realizes that the economic policies of a nation are part and parcel to war. Military options are usually the last response to a situation, and the Chinese have been using these tactics for a long time against the west.

It will be interesting to see if Donald Trump does run for President, and if he uses the perspective of war and China as his primary campaign platform.
