America has no intentions on doing anything of the sort. We just want fair and even TRADE, THAT'S ALL. THERE SHOULD BE NO TARIFFS EITHER WAY. [/b] [/quote] Well, beyond just the fair trade situation with China artificially pegging its Yuan/RMB currency over the years, then you have the fact that China built those artificial islands in key global shipping lanes within international waters of the South China Sea, promising the whole time not to militarize them and then guess what....they militarized them. Look at the maps that China claims for its borders. They currently claim territories reaching right into their neighbors' territorial waters and exclusive economic zones, completing ignoring the 200 nautical miles rule. China has ongoing border disputes with Bhutan, Brunei, India, Indonesia, Inner Mongolia, Japan, Malaysia, North Korea, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Vietnam. China's actions tell much more than their words.

China Warns of Countermeasures if U.S. Puts Missiles on Its 'Doorstep'
China threatened countermeasures on Tuesday if the United States deploys intermediate-range, ground-based missiles in Asia and warned U.S. allies of repercussions if they allow such weapons on their territory.
U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Saturday he was in favour of placing ground-launched, intermediate-range missiles in the region soon, possibly within months.
