This idiotic statement by Joe Biden should be (and will be) an attack ad in states such as Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The former Vice President should tell the millions of American’s who have lost their jobs to China, that the Chinese are not competition for the United States.
Joe Biden saying that China is not competition for the United States is comparable to President Ford denying that the Soviet Union dominated Eastern Europe in 1976. Biden is clearly clueless and perhaps even compromised.
China decimated the American manufacturing sector under Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Close to 70,000 factories closed down, and most of the jobs that those factories supported were gifted to China. In fact, according to federal labor statistics, there were nearly five million fewer manufacturing jobs when Obama left office then there were when Bush 43 entered office in 2001.
During the Obama administration, America’s trade deficit with China skyrocketed as a result of one-sided trade agreements, that both Obama and Biden allowed to continue. China was allowed to manipulate their currency, making it impossible for American companies to be competitive. In addition, Obama and Biden turned a blind eye to the Chinese stealing tens of billions of dollars worth of American technology and intellectual property.
Currently the United States economy is the envy of the world, due to the pro-business policies of President Trump. However, if Trump loses to Biden or any of the other economically illiterate Democrats in 2020, Americans can kiss this incredible economic growth goodbye.
Joe Biden mocks China threat: ‘They’re “not bad folks” and “not competition for us,” American Military News, Laura Widener
Former Vice President and 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden downplayed China in a speech this week and declared that the communist nation isn’t a significant threat.
In a campaign trail speech delivered in Iowa City, Iowa, on Wednesday, Biden appeared to mock experts who have declared China as a top threat to the U.S., calling China “not bad folks” and “not competition for us.”
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man — They can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the West. They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They’re not bad folks, folks … They’re not competition for us,” he said. Biden’s spokesperson, Andrew Bates, defended Biden’s comments, saying they weren’t dismissive of China.“As he has many times, Vice President Biden underscored that, whatever challenges we face as a nation, including those posed by a rising China, they pale in comparison to the structural and social challenges that confront China itself,” Bates told CNN in a statement. “Joe Biden believes it’s never a good bet to bet against America and the fundamental strength, resilience and ingenuity of its people.”
Biden’s remarks have already gained backlash.
Sen. Mitt Romney retweeted a transcript of Biden’s comments with the caption, “This will not age well.”
Rep. Bradley Byrne also spoke out again Biden’s comments, tweeting, “I was just at a manufacturing plant that is being threatened by China’s corrupt trade practices. Not to mention the national security threats they pose. Joe is plain wrong. China is absolutely a threat.”
President Trump: “Sleepy Joe doesn’t think China is a threat. Meanwhile, I am working on a great deal with China that puts AMERICA FIRST and protects our economy!”

The old boy routine and harassing women won’t work for votes.
China is poised to overcome us economically and militarily. They cheat like hell on trade and interestingly build transportation and ports in other countries and when they default on loans, take them over. They steal technology and buy out companies.
China’s navy is, if not poised, then in position, to challenge the United States Navy across the entire western Pacific. One PRC admiral recently claimed the “sinking two aircraft carriers” would get America’s attention. Indeed it would, since China has this capability.
God only knows when, what and why.
…and they have begun to move aggressively into our hemisphere….

Joe the moron.
“They’re “not bad folks” and “not competition for us.”
Words have meaning, who’s “us”? A safe bet is Democrats and other fellow Marxist travelers…
Joe is unscrupulous and a randy lad. You are right, China and others fearing Trump’s Big-Stick presidency will fill Uncle Joe’s campaign coffers. The man is the poster boy for imbecilic, he is just another Democrat who loathes the Republic.
Joe Biden, after this gullible utterance, betrays one fact; he has viewed too many episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. His statement should be a warning to those who perceive Uncle Joe (Biden) as a prospective President. One suspects under the days of Obama’s propagandist presidency, Joe’s sentiments for Iran, faux-Palestine and other rogue states who endeavor America’s end, are the same. Stick at what you do best, Joe, a sniff here and a sniff there. Thanks Felix.
At least the Dem party aren’t fielding another Muslim looking to destroy the US from within yet. Joe should be easy to beat, Trump outclasses him in every way. I can’t believe how rotten and out of touch with reality the Liberals have become. The US and the world will go down the Islamic and Chinese communist hell-hole if perverted uncle Joe wins.
Ahh those were the good old days when Joe could fly his son to China on Airforce 2 for a special deal. That’s how socialist deal with each others. Influence!
BIG SCANDALS looking for Biden and his son Hunter:
1.5 billion Bank of China deal
And the HYPOCRISY!!!!
Biden’s son under scrutiny for helping China spy on Muslims
And of course the UKRAINE scandal
Biden threatened Ukraine that he would see to it that Ukraine didnt get a billion dollar loan if they didnt fire a prosecuter who was going to prosecute them for corruption
venal degenerate
Biden, like all Demoncraps, commies, and leftist are LIARS. Just plain gawdamn LIARS! Don’t EVER believe ONE word they say.
That must be Biden’s ass talking. His mouth knows better.
Sure, Joe….they aren’t bad people when they make you and your family filthy rich….you are a traitorous bastardo, Joe……may you rot in hell for eternity for selling out your country over and over again.
That moron is the demorats front runner – thats the BEST they can come up with – One of the most corrupt figures in politics..
Let the gaffes begin! Hey, you liberals out there! Is this really the best you have to throw a Trump! Desperate times call for desperate measures, and boy, you must be desperate!!!
What world does Biden live it???
