China is 'hostile' and has enormous resources: Robert Lighthizer 

Wake up ! America. It is no longer a unipolar world.

Mr Lighghthizer is a wise man. He knows clearly what the facts are and what is wrong with US economy policy

You should worry a little less about xi & Putin and worry about America

Loser always focuses on the winner, and winner focuses on winning. We know who the loser is.

IF CHINA IS HOSTILE - WHAT IS THE U.N. THE WEST ???

It is too late for America to defeat China. The sacrifices would be enormous. Americans have grown soft after many decades of prosperity, are morally far weaker than they have ever been, and will not endure hardship voluntarily or gracefully

China isnt hostile. The USA is.

We need to start having our own people here in this country, to go straight back to work. So we can start back manufacturing our own stuff again!

Anglo-Saxon hypocricy and double standard.

10% to the big guy

China is hostile? United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 - a staggering 98 percent. In fact, there are only three countries in the world America hasn't invaded or have never seen a U.S. military presence: Andorra, Bhutan, and Liechtenstein.

China does see our system as having inherent flaws. Their perspective on things like democracy and good governance is very different from ours. But one factor that I feel really plays in their favor and not in ours is that they are very capable and proficient at playing the long game, we are not. Think of issues like the border wall, the Iran Nuclear Deal, and the one that frustrates me the most is ditching the Superconducting super collider after already investing billions of dollars into it, and regardless of where you stand on any one of those issues, a lot of it comes down to the agenda of those in power changing and often completely switching course every few years because politicians at any level are very partisan and represent interests that don’t align with the opposing side at all and often only represent a slight majority of the American people’s interests. It’s a challenge for us to find common ground on a myriad of issues all the time. With China it is not. They have been able to advance their economy tremendously over the course of the past 4 decades. We’re dependent on them for so many of our manufacturing needs. And they believe that a unified ruling entity is necessary to adequately govern a nation. I honestly feel like if we’re going to prove our democracy as the superior form of governance to the world over China’s form of “People’s Democracy” then we really have to move past this toxic partisan divide that we have in Washington and that’s permeated a lot of society in the US and come together. Otherwise, I truly believe China will succeed. It’s like the old saying, a house divided cannot stand.

Strategical decoupling ! Good Idea !!!

The US has officially declared Taiwan is a part of China - since 1979. Yet we disrespect that relationship with NGO's and unilateral legislation all designed to keep the separation permanent. We send members of Congress to Taiwan - ignoring China and its wishes - even boasting how we don't have to mind what China thinks. We send military equipment allegedly to protect a region from its own country. We expand the number of Philippine US bases from 3 to 7 and begin to revamp the missile systems on Guam - all within the the last 2 years. So when China doesn't smile and say thank you may we have another after American provocation and disrespect - you want to label that hostile. I would say say it's a perfectly normal human response. Perhaps if the US began to show more respect and honor long standing agreements like the Three communiques- they might get a better response from China. Why would China want to sit down and talk with the US when they know the US could care less what they think and only seek to make demands. What a familiar story, yes? I wonder what would happen if China passed legislation stating it will protect Maui from the US mainland, and then began sending them weapons and parading Chinese legislatures around the island, boasting how they don't care what mainland US thinks?

China is not "hostile" it is "Defensive".

Ones who start more wars is the hostile one. Which is it?

Sounds like my ex. She was hostile and had enormous resources. Both of them.

I am Chinese, we don't want to be number one, we just don't accept US's bully. Simple as that.

LOL, when the US can't compete in free trades then now we have the book called 'no trade is free'🤣🤣🤣

Minding each others own internal affairs is the best policy. The fact on military bases set up around the world speak for itself who poses the greatest security threat to the world.

Meanwhile, China is only concerned in building bilateral friendship with other nations. I know some Taiwanese people and they are not even concerned about a war as much as USA is. Stop looking into China and USA should be more focus on internal issues.

Well said Robert

We lift them out of poverty and we didn't lift our poor out of poverty! It's disgusting!

Who asked you to pivot to Asia. Who ask you to threatens to china.?

Is nothing wrong from. Another part of freedom to compete. The problem is self destruction within own policies

They do not have a bigger and better army than we do. I don’t even know why you’re even saying that.

Hi US,Need to act immediately. 1st remove from UN Security Council 2nd change policy 3rd unit similar mindset country

Congratulations in creating another enemy to go to war with.

What will you do with USA debt?

Literally Xi’s definition of the US😂😂

Who cares most everyone in America owns a gun ?

Truth

China is the friendliest nation I have been. Don't smear China when you have not been there.

nonsense

Am sick of it all why have yall continue to let jo bin to be president 😮

US😂😂😂. China is hostile. I don't know whether to laugh or cry😢😢

Looking forward to seeing what China does to the American corporations investing in China ....

This is the futures of humanity & We need to become Prepared🎉

We the people are tired of these trader politicians!!!!

No trade is Free? you should replace that with "Every trade is Win WIn (both side)"🙂

In the Korean War China entered the war with 150,000 troops. 1 year later 66,000 returned home. The rest were KIA's.

That's right, Trump up business for the US military industrial complex.

False narrative

Right On!!!! Pull out!!!

this fella think in the world inly USA buys china items. but he foreget the global south . 6.5 billions customers . nigeria. brazil mexico etiopia egypt indonesia are 1 billions chinese customers.

Of course China is hostile but what`s worse their here and we now have a foothold situation with them right hear in NY !!! They are armed , a car with Chinese getting fuel had a back seat full o weapons , when they noticed the young people looking they jumped in their car and sped off !!!

Looks like shaking the white powder is in the works again,after all these years

Do something about it. YOUR NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!.

Robert is a opportunist，depending on blaming China for earning his living.

Yo man. I live in the United States, and regrettably, the overall state here is extremely distressing. Today, my younger sibling, who attends elementary school, got blasted in his face. My father, who has a chronic illness, lacks the financial resources and access to healthcare and as a result, has developed a dependence on fentanyl. Adding to the desperation, my poor dear loving mother is compelled to engage in prostitution daily just to provide a meal for our family. She is very talented and very hard working, you can find her on the front page of thousands of 🌽 sites. These circumstances have led us to be homeless, forcing us to live on the streets, completely exposed to the cold pavement. The fear of potential mass shootings has paralyzed me to the extent that I'm too terrified to step outside our cardboard box shelter, fearing it might be my last move. If there were indeed another life, I genuinely desire to be born in any other country, in the hopes of finding a more promising existence.

If someone cannot build the biggest navy for himself, how can you justify your ability to build that for someone else? Nonsense

God's More Powerful , an He's not hostile , He's ready for anyone who comes to him, ! But times drawing short !! I wouldn't miss Heaven for nothing !! After THIS World !!

“Second, we have to change our trade policy to focus on workers.” Well, that’s communism and socialism.

Just wait till D17 hypersonic missile hit one US asset.

Historically, America & 7 other European nations colonise various part of Chinese land for years leading to many Chinese people being victim of humiliation and shame. Do you not labelled such act being hostile ? Next, during the financial crisis in 2008, China came to aid US debt by bailing out your debt issues by purchasing massive T-Bonds that help to keep many people in government services their bread & butter issues. Is that being friendly or hostile ? Lastly, China has every right to develop and built its defence resources to safeguard their land & sovereignty due to past lessons.... when US naval or spy aircraft is lurching near to its military drill zone area and despite warning from Chinese forces to steer clear, US forces kept ignoring the warning sign and chose to engage them, how could you labeled the act as hostile. Imagine your neighbour kept pressing your door bell in the early hours and gone into hiding yet kept you awake all night..... so who's been hostile ?

So did Saddam Huissein.

You must be he most smartest in the universe, but .. Basic ingredient is missing

Kudlow and Lighthizer, who of them is bigger lunatic?

Rand Paul has a debt solution 5 cents out of our tax dollar over 5 to 6 years , he is a genius, listen to GENIUSES.

This is my personal tip: don't trust any man that his mouth watered (a greedy sign) when you talk to him about solution of your money. You can also identify psychopath person by follow his body reaction, if his shoulder twitching while talking, that's means he is speaking opposite of his mind try to fool you (against you), his voice may can fool you, but sometimes his body can't be fooled by its own mind.🙂

Right now Friday June 9 th 7 fleet has the chinease navy pinned. And macarthy sent lawmakers home three days prior to major war exercise on Sunday. 🚩🚩🚩

Peking at higher risk of Asian flu?

Which American system do you intend to sell to the world our semi socialized progressive system that we have now or the real American system based on capitalism and individual responsibility?

Robert you need to run for president because you have the knowledge for the job. Sorry about that sleepy Joe.

Broke a forklift blade guys. You have to be a man to break a forklift blade. Especially one of these.

It was so predictable decades ago

China does not proactively 'sell' its system. Quite the contrary. China is happy to trade with other countries without trying to change them. Of course,if a country explicitly asks China to learn about its system, China obliges like it's done for some African countries. China isn't a missionary country now or over the millennia of its existence

Of course they are, but I bet they don't try the batflu trick again. 🤣🤣

De cupell all ready

Put China 🇨🇳 in GODS hands, then see GODS hands all over China

Star Wars seems a bit prophetic with the Trade Federation. Only China's droids are smart like clones, and they have waves upon waves of them. And while we may have Sith out there we have no Jedi. Weesa in some trouble!

We need MR TRUMP NOW and then desantimonius

Nieve though🤨 come on Jack 😂 he ain't nieve

Not as hostile, as many are told to believe, but does hold enormous resources...

From what Lighthizer said I could immediately see the incompleteness of his analyses and understanding of what's going on between China and US. He is totally ignorant about US's global dictatorial behavior. He has no understanding about the so called "communism" in China and totally ignorant about the reasons for trade imbalance. His view is mostly one-sided, typical of conservative American's. His book can easily mislead the non-critical readers who have no objective views of global trades and politics. An objective and knowledgeable men like Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Professor Richard Wolff could easily shred him to pieces.

Kto NA TO POZWOLIL MISTRZU????

DeCouple !

Bob Lightizer, one of the few real patriots who've been political appointees in federal govt. in recent times.

GOD HAS ALWAYS LOVED CHINA AND HAS ALWAYS BLESSED CHINA FOREVER. ✝️🇨🇳☯️🙏🙏🙏☯️🇨🇳✝️ ✝️ GOD BLESS CHINA ✝️

Do you also need to restrict Chinese access as students to American universities? That is where a lot of the stolen technology is gathered.

Lighthizer is a typical lying politician, a hatred maker.

Sorry to say but you guys need to give watching the News a break also Trump is to old to be president

Yeah but we had Brandon and we'll soon have Kamala...so yeah, there's that.

We need people to understand that we are for the WORLD, not just AMERICA but for ALL others around the GLOBE, we will be a ONE RACE,,,,,

Xi is starting to look like Butthead.

The peoples Republic of China has been at war with us for decades. But we have not noticed or done anything about it. I guess people would rather have cheap crap that they can buy in Walmart in National security. The sooner we bring our manufacturing back home, or at least to the western hemisphere the better.

WE DESERVE WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US

Hello Jack Brinkley How you doing Well Said Actually US is great country Unfortunately the US still follow the old system The world is changing That's why CHINA won't adopt you systems US should accept CHINA system managing their own country
