Here's what you do. Call up China and say "look man, we have cancelled the bonds you bought". "They aren't worth anything". "All of your US holdings have been forfeited".

China will be pissed, they may retaliate. Remind Russia that all of our missiles are pointed at them until we need them somewhere else.

Kill China.

We really have to if we are ever going to stop man made global warming. Who's with me?

What do we think is going to happen when we ship all of our manufacturing for just about everything that exists over there. We develop and invent stuff, send it over to China to be manufactured because it's waaaay cheaper, then they steal the technology and knock it off. Exactly what happened to a product my father-in-law developed.

I think you are confusing competition with imitation. didi is simply a competing company. Uber has competitors in the US as well. didi is to Uber like Berger King is to McDonalds.

Now I totally agree that Chinese trademark and copywriter infringement is an enormous problem that we really need to be dealing with much more aggressively.

China been doing this for years. Baidu is the Chinese Google, Taobao is the Chinese Ebay, CTrip is the Chinese Expedia, Jd.com is the Chinese Amazon, Weibo is the Chinese Twitter. What sucks is that these companies then get the government to effectively force out the US/foreign firms, like how Google was forced out. In addition, the Chinese people are "strongly encouraged" to use the Chinese version of whatever so US firms can't get traction.

Of course, no one outside China hardly uses any of these services, but China's a pretty big market.

Uber will probably be the next US victim. If they were smart, they'd go ahead and abandon that entire country instead of getting caught up in a quagmire like Amazon, Expedia, etc.

The Chinese pop/gov are a fairly cruel, super-competitive culture who do not value human life and will literally kill you to save/make a few bucks. They don;t give a crap.

Chinese motorists would rather kill injured pedistrians
