Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Free Trade |
KENNEDY: China does not want a war with the United States. We spent three times on our on our military what they do. We have 800 bases abroad; they have one and a half. Look, they want to compete with us. They want to bury us but they want to do it on an economic playing field. And they need us. You know, they cannot survive without us.
Q: We're their marketplace; we are the biggest buyer of Chinese goods by far.
KENNEDY: Right, so I'm not afraid of the US competing with China head to head and countries around the world. I think that's good for us. I think we win that competition. I'm not somebody who thinks that we should divide the world. I think the shared markets are ultimately good for the world because they decrease the chance of war. When you when you treat somebody as an adversary, they tend to become one. There are a group of people in the State Department who want constant pipeline of new wars to feed the military industrial complex
