America stands at a crossroads in its economic struggle with China, and it’s time to call out the truth: China doesn’t want real change. They resist the reforms necessary to bring economic balance. While there’s talk of a potential trade deal, let’s be honest, it’s going to be a long wait. China might sign a deal, but history shows us they won’t honor it. Just look at 2020 when they failed to meet their obligations under the phase one trade agreement.
China knows the United States holds the power. President Trump is standing strong, refusing to back down from the harsh tariffs that have China squirming. These tariffs are a bold move, and they work in America’s favor. Every retaliatory move China makes only harms them more than it hurts the United States. With their economy already spiraling downward, they have limited options.

Meanwhile, foreign investments are streaming into America, most notably from Taiwan’s semiconductor company, TSMC, with a massive $165 billion investment. This kind of manufacturing is precisely what America needs. This is what happens when the right policies are in place. Cutting taxes and offering investment credits are powerful ways to boost American manufacturing further.
Progressive policies that let China walk all over international agreements have made liberals complicit in harming American workers. The clear path forward is embracing pro-business policies, supporting lower taxes, and focusing on homegrown manufacturing. The United States has leverage over China, and it’s high time we use it to restore the balance.
President Trump holds all the cards. As liberals cry “foul” over America’s assertive stance, it’s crucial to remember who’s playing fair and who’s not. Is the United States willing to stand strong and hold China accountable, or will political correctness drive policy? America must reject weakness and demand fairness. The U.S. isn’t just in a trade battle; it’s in a fight for economic justice.
