Lest you think I am unjustly singling out China for special treatment out of the 190 or so countries in the world, just remember these facts:

1.   They are the biggest country, by population;

2.   They cause trade deficits for more countries than any other;

3.   They are our biggest geopolitical rival;

4.   They are one-third of our trade deficit;

5.   They manipulate currency;

6.   They own most of the economy, and are owning more;

7.   They are the most problematic spying country.

8.    They ship the most poisonous and adulterated food, toys and other products.  Even Chinese shoppers avoid Chinese toys. 

9.    They have passed the U.S. in global carbon emissions with much inefficiency with high growth and few regulations. 

Myanmar and Sudan, for example, have bad governments that do bad things to people.  But they don't affect our economy, our world environment, our national security, and our safety like this. 

If any other country wants to apply for special attention, they can.  But they have to beat these factors.
