Trump And China
cdn.dailybeast.com

If you have read the news recently, there have been tons and tons of articles criticizing Donald Trump’s opinions on the United States' trade relationship with China. Donald Trump reportedly received a call from Taiwan’s president, who congratulated him on winning the position of President-elect of the United States. Now, this is something that seems like an innocent call to take, but it is actually a big political move.

The United States has a One China policy, which calls for the United States to respect China’s stance on Taiwan—since Taiwan is seen as a breakaway province to the Chinese. When China became a communist country, those within China who did not support the communist leadership went to Taiwan and created the Taiwan that we know today. However, because of the One China policy, the United States has tiptoed around this political relationship between China and Taiwan by agreeing to respect the Chinese stance against Taiwan while still being able trade goods and services with these countries (but mostly goods and services are sent to the United States from China rather than Taiwan).

However, with the new President-elect’s actions, the Chinese have taken this as a blow to them and their economy. The United States has always had a good trade relationship with China, which is the reason why the majority of our products are “Made In China." But, with Trump’s actions, our trade relationship between China seems to be in question. Trump has reportedly supported the idea of a trade relationship free from trade with China and this brings questions to how our economy may change.

As Donald Trump enters into the Presidency, many are still upset and afraid for the coming changes to the future of the United States. And China’s influence on trade and the action of not depending on them as much in the United States for goods and services is a cautious action. China has the deepest ties within the economic world because of trade and not involving them with trade in the United States may either hurt us as a country or help another third world country in return.

China was able to advance economically because of trade and development. We have enabled them to do so by depending on them for creating our products and they have taken advantage of this opportunity. China is now one of the biggest exporters in the world and being free of trade with them may influence our economy badly. All we can do is be hopeful that Trump makes decisions and brings a new mindset to help the United States economy continue booming rather than hinder our advancement.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
