A recently released white house government OTMP report list 50 ways in which china seek to dominate the global economy with predatory trade practices. This is a very comprehensive list of their current trade practices and has been reviewed by the CIA and other intelligence analyst before being released. Another sign that this report is accurate is that the Chinese were initially denying the existence of Dr. Navarro and has now back tracked saying he does exist while trying to discredit him. Interestingly enough they've also gone through great lengths to cover up their Made in China 2025 initiative that they touted proudly a few years back. I encourage readers to read through the list and decide for them selves if they don't think free trade is a good idea. China's trade practices is the opposite of that, they're not only not free but are also extremely predatory, seeking to monopolize other countries' industry through unfair trade practices. Also attached is a lecture on the issue in case you want to just listen.

The solution? Adopt free trade, fast. This is the real reason for Trump's tariffs to pressure allies to do free trade.

"OTMP outlines how China aggressively seeks to acquire American technology and intellectual property through multiple vectors including: physical and cyber theft, forced technology transfers, evading United States export controls, export restraints on raw materials, and investments in more than 600 high-technology assets in the United States worth close to $20 billion."

How did I miss this gem, thank you for the report, I was reading an article yesterday about how China acquired Sri Lanka's port via debt trap, highly unethical, clearly this report is the source and we will likely see more articles in the future. The report also goes into other methods other than the debt trap so will make interesting reading.

Secure and Control Core Natural Resources Globally: China uses a predatory “debt trap”
model of economic development and finance that proffers substantial financing to
developing countries in exchange for an encumbrance on their natural resources and access
to markets
. These resources range from bauxite, copper, and nickel to rarer commodities
such as beryllium, titanium, and rare earth minerals.11 This predatory model has been
particularly effective in countries characterized by weak rule of law and authoritarian
regimes.1
