Donald Trump says China a threat to world, using US money to expand its military might

Firstpost  

Donald Trump has said the Communist nation is a threat to the world and blamed his predecessors for not stopping it from stealing America’s intellectual property. Washington: Expressing concern over China’s growing military might, US President Donald Trump has said the Communist nation is a threat to the world and blamed his predecessors for not stopping it from stealing America’s intellectual property to bolster its defence capabilities. The world’s two largest economies are locked in a trade war since Trump in March last year imposed tariff hikes of up to 25 per cent on $250 billion of Chinese goods. “We are taking hundreds of millions potentially over a short period of time, hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of money is coming in from China that never came in before so China wants to make a deal, I think we want to make a deal,” Trump said. But you know trade equals military because if we allow China to take $500 billion out of the hide of the United States that money goes into military and other things,” said the US president.
