For eight years as vice president and decades longer while in the Senate, Biden and his team failed to confront China. Biden was more responsible than any other legislator of the post-Nixon era for enabling China’s rise as a revisionist superpower. But now that he’s running against Trump, Biden is trying to perform an unconvincing about-face on the foreign adversary in which he’s invested so much.

I'm not sure why, if it's even still true,but it could be the same situation Donna is in.

The handle she uses on the line of tools she makes is not made in the USA, period.

It is a three color process.

Before she found the part she wanted, we contacted many US molders for bulk purchase of a plain handled #1 phillips screwdriver.

In the very first tools she made she used a Stanley branded tool that we could buy at Walmart for $.88 each.

It was not made in the USA

The least expensive US made #1 phillips was $1.25 each in lots of 10,000

When we contacted the manufacturer in China they quoted $.22 each in lots of 500.

The cost of importing still kept the cost well below US made and the quantities was manageable.

If we could have found the same tool made in the US we would have used it, even if the price was triple.

So I guess sometimes to get what you want you have to source outside the US.

Trump bad so therefore we are done here.

Now please return to what policy you like best from a Harris/Biden administration.

Last election was a race to the bottom. Trump lost but was bailed out by the electoral college.

I won't answer your loaded questions, but here is what I like

Rejoin the Global Climate Accord ( somewhat agree, but make it a little more fair to everyone involved )
Expand and tune-up Obamacare (I'd rather see Medicare for all, but...) ( fine but I want a choice, like Congress has )
Put pressure on China regarding trade and human rights ( ain't this happening )
Restore relationships with our allies. ( bow down, please )
Immigration reform. ( Trump reforming it now )
Criminal justice reform. ( didn't Trump EO this a year or 2 ago. Or not yet enough ? )

And the intangible, bring dignity back to the White House.

I won't answer your loaded questions, but here is what I like

Rejoin the Global Climate Accord, What looks attractive to you, the lost jobs, the monster cost or China getting a pass?

The poorly negotiated Paris climate accord imposed unfair, unworkable and unrealistic targets on the United States for reducing carbon emissions.

As the climate deal punished America’s energy producers with expensive and burdensome regulations, it gave other countries U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidies and generous timelines.

Countries like China got a free pass to pollute for over a decade. With abundant low-cost coal, China and India would put our manufacturers at a huge competitive disadvantage. Economic costs would be severe.

According to the National Economic Research Associates, if we met all of our commitments as part of the Paris climate agreement, it would cost the American economy $3 trillion and 6.5 million industrial sector jobs by 2040. We don’t need to cripple our economy to protect our environment.

Expand and tune-up Obamacare (I'd rather see Medicare for all, but...)How you going to pay for it?
Put pressure on China regarding trade and human rights

Early this year, President Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020, which gives him authority to impose sanctions against individuals in China involved in human rights violations against Uyghur and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Besides punishing CCP officials, the Trump administration also warned recently that it would crack down on U.S. businesses, organizations and individuals who either contributed to human rights abuses or benefited from forced labor in Xinjiang or elsewhere in China.

Restore relationships with our allies.

You mean like Trump has a good start towards middle east peace?

Immigration reform.

So opening the border, and releasing 11 million illegals

Criminal justice reform.

Trump's First Step Act
