China did not move U.S. industries to China, U.S. industries did out of greed for more profit. You can't blame China for taking advantage of a situation thrust upon them. I blame the move on people such as Mitt Romney, Donald Trump, and numerous other U.S. corporate leaders trying to take advantage of both U.S. and China's economic situations. It all boils down to greed over patriotism and now the U.S. is paying the price.

I always get a kick out of a country that's governed by a autocratic regime always talking about things that Trump is doing as part of "campaign re-election strategy". My question is, how in the hell would they even know, since they don't have elections in China? And my second question is, what the hell were they burning up that got everyone's attention in the first place?
