IBTimes: Donald Trump Says China Must Not Be Allowed To ‘Rape’ The US
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday likened America’s trade deficit with China to "rape," accusing the Asian nation of “the greatest theft in the history of the world.” Trump, who is currently leading the GOP nomination race by a wide margin, was speaking at a rally in Indiana ahead of the state’s critical, and potentially decisive, primary later this week.
“We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing,” Trump said. “We're going to turn it around. And we have the cards, don't forget it. We're like the piggy bank that's being robbed. We have the cards. We have a lot of power with China.”

WNU Editor: Some are disagreeing what Donald Trump is saying .... Donald Trump Is Wrong On China--Again (Tim Worstall, Forbes). What's my take. I worked in China developing trade first as a representative of the Soviet government .... later as a private citizen. The Chinese are all about tariffs, trade restrictions, and when they do buy from abroad .... it is primarily raw materials or high tech that they cannot copy. Donald Trump is 100% correct .... and if the U.S. should adopt the same trade policies, tariffs, and currency manipulation as China's .... the Chinese would find themselves priced out of the U.S. market. And as for the hundreds in billions that U.S. companies have invested in China .... they will find themselves up "shits-creek".Will there be retaliation .... probably. But since the U.S. already has a multi-hundred billion dollar trade deficit with China, I fail to see how retaliating against the U.S. will change the current situation .... in fact ... it may galvanize even further U.S. restrictions against China. Donald Trump's remarks are important because he is warning the Chinese that they better change .... unfortunately .... at least from what I am hearing from my Chinese contacts .... they are still tone-deaf .... in fact many of them feel confident that the U.S. Congress will (in the end) block him. Hmmmm .... that is a risky strategy if you ask me.
