Trump is Right to Confront China

Those who argue for a more aggressive stance against China are obligated to make the case as compelling as possible because an assertive approach to China has many risks.

Yes, the Chinese manufacture many goods for the United States or assemble high tech products for consumption, but the United States is not dependent on China for the underlying high technology.

Technology-intensive products such as iPhones are indeed assembled in China and China manufactures memory chips and other common components, but these are not considered exceptionally high tech.

Since we import so many electronic items from China, it would be easy to assume that the US relies on China to make the highly advanced central processing units that act as the brains for the manufactured common electronic devices.

The United States remains an economic competitor against China specifically because we independently develop and sell advanced technology products or components.

If the United States continues to allow the People's Republic of China to steal American intellectual property, then China's ambition of "Made in China 2025" where the world is dependent on China for all cutting edge technology will come true.

China still relies on America for advanced technologies, not the other way around.
