Depending on how you're counting, China is 10x older than the US. It takes a special kind of naivety to think that the nephew can get one over on the uncle.

These Dept of State ghouls always parrot the same line that somehow China is cheating and it's unfair. Quote: "all while addressing the PRC’s non-market practices"

It's fucking hilarious they can't seem to grasp that there are no rules here and that somehow China kicking their ass is just so unfair and cheating. Like what you gonna do, take your ball and go home?

It's an intentional effort to create the impression that the rules US wants to impose on the world are some kind of international law.
