What strategy is China using to influence global markets?
Today on the Ben Shapiro Show, China is growing by leaps and bounds in terms of manufacturing. What does that actually mean? How should the United States actually orient its national security strategy to stop China? What does that mean for Russia? We'll get into the weeds on all of this. How do we stop China?

That existential threat, of course, does come from a lack of willpower. It comes from a doubt about what America is. But in terms of foreign policy, that existential threat comes from a team-up that has been growing. That team-up is between China, which is really the sponsor state of the anti-American bloc, along with its friends like Russia and Iran. The existential threat doesn't mean that China is going to attack the United States. It does mean that that as the United States recedes from the world, as Russia expands its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe, as China expands its sphere of influence, not just in the Far East, but also in Africa, across the rest of Asia, into South America, the United States is going to be in the unenviable position of having to withdraw from the world.
And a United States that is no longer able to guarantee freedom of the seas, a United States with no economic allies, a United States that is sort of a secondary partner
What role do tariffs play in U.S.-China relations?
as opposed to China being a primary partner for all the rest of these countries, is a United States that has an economy that is shrinking, a United States that is forced within its own borders, and that is a problem. That is not a good thing, that is a problem. There is this bizarre notion that has arisen on the right that if the United States were to be essentially autarkic, if the United States were to withdraw from the rest of the world, suddenly things would get better, that the amount that we expend in foreign aid, for example, or military expenditure, is a complete waste of money if we just spend that money at home then magically everything gets better the problem of course is that the world is interconnected the reason that you are able to obtain better cheaper products that make your life easier every single day is because the interconnection of world trade makes that possible and that of course is only possible because of the power of the united states economy and the power of the united states military why do i bring that up well because china
seems to be posing a broader and broader threat. And yet, there is a bizarre unwillingness on the left to acknowledge the threat that is China. And on the right, there seems to be an unwillingness to deal with the actual realities of what it would mean to face down China in a responsible and coherent fashion. So, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that China is actually growing at the expense of the rest of the world. According... to Greg Ip writing for the Wall Street Journal. Who has contributed more to the rest of the world's growth this year, China or the United States? The answer is the United States, and it's not even close. Even as the U.S. rolls out tariffs, its imports are up 10% so far this year from a year earlier.
And as China moralizes against protectionism, its imports are down 3% in dollar terms.
