Is China cheating or did our elites sell us out?

Trade is win-win. The US benefitted immensely from China's rising productivity. American consumers saw falling prices for smartphones, TVs and toys, all mostly imported from China.
Let's not forget the $400-500B in revenue US firms generate directly in China. E.g., there are over 30,000 American fast food restaurants in China today, up ~30x since 2000.
Apple is at the intersection of two huge waves: smartphones and the rise of China. In 2000, /search?q=#AAPL had a market cap of $20 billion; today $3 trillion.

This was all part of the deal. The presidents/politicians and CEOs for the past 2-3 decades sold out the middle class America. A lot of people are blaming the wrong people. Look how ford left Detroit to go to Mexico in the past.
Imagine this. A US company sells a car for $20k. They employ a US factory worker $20 an hr. The company then moves to Mexico or China and only pays the worker $10 an hour. That company will still sell the car for $20k and will POCKET the delta. You can’t blame the other country.
If anyone is wondering where all our money is at, look at the wealthy class and politicians. They sold us out.

I don’t think they need to be mutually exclusive. China cheats they have no problem, cheating, and doing anything to win against an adversary, and obviously elites also cheat and did everything they could to line their own pockets while strip mining in the middle class of America for tax dollars

As empires collapse, such debates are held by intellectuals. A study of the British Empire, The Roman Empire, the Greek Empire and the Egyptian Empire should reveal one simple fact. Empires rise, grow, peak, stagnant then decline. Its a process without a reversal.

Nah not really.
Let’s speak on luxury. Do you think a large part of American consumers were actually buying luxury goods at sticker price? It’s rhetorical. They weren’t from the beginning. People who couldn’t afford the MSRPs are celebrating this. The same people who actually go into Louis Vuitton will continue to go in Louis Vuitton because they’re paying for the aesthetic. The lower class is going to still get looked down on.
Next, China has an economy because America has or had an abundance in money to buy useless crap. Other places want that crap now because it’s current but when it’s no longer cool then what crap is China is going to invent or innovate?
Riddle me this? Sans Tik tok, what has China created from that you want?
To be clear, Made in China doesn’t mean the idea’s inception was in China.

No, no, no. Actually China was in serfdom to the later part of the 20th century. China was ruled by island
, my guy.U.S. corporations went over there and trained them because of the unions. That’s a whole different conversation. China didn’t just wake up and know how to manufacture anything. If you want to argue that this is chickens coming home to roost because of corporate greed then that’s a proper conversation. However, China is a tool not brain.
