The difference is that people want to visit the US and even stay.
A lot of Chinese people want to leave China for a better life.

I know. Alaska sees tons of Chinese tourists. While every other ethnic group has slowed tourism since Trump’s election the numbers of Chinese stay high. They’re everywhere here. Never see them spending money. Just taking pictures.

Sadly China doesn’t emphasize learning English as the universal language of business. Nobody can do much for them unless their host/guestherder is there to translate. You can’t sell them much cuz you can’t tell them much. They’re not real buyers either for the most part. You never see them with shopping bags or carrying anything.

Everything about trump is the best. This is his industry.

Big groups of Chinese tourists are one of the most environmentally destructive forces.

When I say they don’t buy anything I’m sure it’s because they make it all back home.

People from Latin American countries MUST have signage in restrooms asking users to put used toilet paper in the toilet. It’s not ignorance. They just seem to understand shit itself doesn’t clog toilets but wads of ass wipe do. FYI it’s standard procedure to leave the used paper in a trash can South of the border. White Americans are usually disgusted.

Same in South East Asia. Coming back to the states, I'm usually disgusted by the lack of a bidet. Do gringos really think that a wad of dry paper is going to suffice to remove the shit residue? We all seem to have different customs but we can agree that shitting on the pavement around the Eiffel tower or in front of a cafe is uncouth.

I'm not convinced of that. They don't use diapers in China. Kids are just taught differently from the start. Chinese tourists regularly shit on Philippine beaches. Before they closed Boracay, you would have seen it several times while on a walk along the beach. They started warning tour groups in Phuket that the Thai police were arresting them. I'll point out though that I have lived and worked all over southeast-asia for some years so I see it more than most people do.
I spent some time in Shanghai and saw it regularly. There are other very rude public behaviors too like staring and blatantly cutting in queue or taking a picture of someone who clearly objects to having their picture taken.
It's a major cause of contention in Japan where etiquette is serious shit. That's why mobs of Japanese teenagers beat the shit out of them. They seem to see it as a purposeful disrespect. I can see the sense in this too but the Japanese can be intense and proud and quick to anger over perceived slight if they take it personally.

The Japanese are not playing games. Question their sovereignty, they change their constitution in order to train marines and convert helicopter carriers to launch F35 jets.

Goldman Sachs CEO sees no real threats of recession next year. Only warning that this could all change? The trade war. Baron Donald Munchausen. Let’s take a growing economy and try to put it on nitrous. If it bends a rod then oh well. That’s racing. Oh wait. We’re talking about global economics here. Not street racing by the fool who would be driving “Farm Truck”. From the back streets of Hayseed County to the NHRA finals in one fell swoop.
His aides now claiming he’s got a better sense of the economy than anybody in the Fed. The delusions are growing.

From the conservative Dallas Morning News 2-2017:
“Texas doesn't remotely fit the mold of Trump's enfeebled America that is losing jobs to competitors overseas. Texas is the largest exporter among the 50 states with nearly $280 billion in exports, according to state data. The top destinations: Mexico, followed by Canada, Brazil and China, three of which are now embroiled in trade disputes with Washington even as Texas exports oil, coal, petrochemicals, heavy machinery and transportation equipment. That means Texas is home to some of the nation's busiest ports, such as Laredo, El Paso, Houston and Galveston. More Texans work in trade than in oil and gas. Nearly a half-million work for foreign-owned companies, which have pumped more than $20 billion annually into the economy.”
Wonder why the Texas GOP is sweating it for 2020?

How much has the US lost from China's IP theft?
The United States has long said that intellectual property theft has cost the US economy billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of jobs.
So just how much damage has it done?
The United States Trade Representative, which led the seven-month investigation into China's intellectual property theft and made recommendations to the Trump administration, found that "Chinese theft of American IP currently costs between $225 billion and $600 billion annually."
Those numbers are in line with a 2017 report from the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property.
Chinese officials have said that protecting foreign companies' intellectual property rights is important to China.
But many of its companies appear to have missed that memo.
China has sought to acquire US technology by any means, licit or illicit," James Andrew Lewis, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, wrote in a blog post Thursday.
"Espionage and theft were part of this, but so were forced technology transfers or mandatory joint ventures as a condition for doing business in China," he wrote.
One of the most recent high profile examples of theft of US intellectual property happened earlier this year. In January, a Beijing-based wind turbine company was found guilty in the US of stealing trade secrets, using secretly downloadedsource code stolen from a Massachusetts company.
Forced technology transfer is also a growing concern for US companies, especially tech firms.
To get an idea of how much forced technology transfer costs the US, some experts say to look at the costs associated with the theft of trade secrets. Total theft of US trade secretsaccounts for anywhere from $180 billion to $540 billion per year, according to the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property -- as "the world's principal IP infringer," China accounts for the most of that theft.
Those numbers are likely to go up, as China doubles down on policies that could lead to acquisition of foreign technology and information -- like the controversial new cybersecurity lawthat went into effect last year.
One of the most contentious parts of the law involves measures that allow China to conduct security reviews of technology products and services that could affect national security.
Critics slammed the plans as intrusive and trade-inhibiting, and industry organizations, including the US Chamber of Commerce, say they are concerned over unfair advantages for Chinese companies and trade barriers.
Beijing says the new law is meant to strengthen the protection of personal information and combat online fraud.

Yet they quickly turn on even these sources if they print anything remotely near “liberal”. They’re dogs that bite the very hands that feed them. Doesn’t matter if they pat conservatives on the back 99 times in a row. First story not condemning something a Democrat said or did they’re immediately “liberal rags”. So they’re forced to seek the truth on cable news.* written by republican spin doctors!
And the texan sheeple eat it up.
