I've been told it's NOT Globalist or Globalism.
Even though many globalist minded leaders & billionaires have long stated that they've want to promote China and replicate it's style of governance world wide.
A plan that's seems to have been cobbling together over many years.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison

Fool me once...War Is A Racket
CHAPTER ONE
War is a racket. It always has been.It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. In the World War (WWI) a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War (1). That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few -- the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.And what is this bill?This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries.Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out...

ok.
So, what's your take on the U.S gov, U.S. corporations and markets investing in China to the detriment of our economic & military safety.. for years?
And the fact that U.S. financiers and corporations have done so historically (invested in & done biz with U.S. enemies) at least since WWI.

I do not have a problem with free trade and the liberty that we have to invest in foreign companies. To the extent that all of that is legal to do so. If the government decides that it is not in the countries best interest then they have the ability to pass laws as they have done.
But I must ask if your main issue here is with globalism (free trade) or globalists (i.e. One-world government)? And I wish that we could restrict, like you apparently think we're able to, investment in foreign countries with perfect 20/20 hindsight.

Globalism has broad/various takes but
globalism
https://dictionary.cambridge.org
noun POLITICS, BUSINESS
the idea that events in one country cannot be separated from those in another and that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way.
globalism
merriam-webster.com
noun
a national policy of treating the whole world as a proper sphere for political influence
compare IMPERIALISM, INTERNATIONALISM
globalist according to cambridge is:
noun POLITICS
Someone who believes that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way, rather than according to what is best for one particular country
as you said
ie One-world government
In my mind Globalism does not equal "free trade".
Globalism is more of the merger/subduction of national govt(s) to large multi-national corporation and private orgs will via international laws that align with certain multi-national corporations and orgs interest.
"Free Trade" isn't really what "globalism" is about.
A major aspect of Globalism is just international crony capitalism.
So I try to put the term "Free Trade" in Quotes when i'm using it to reference what corporations and globalist SAY they are doing.
You don't need hindsight not to sell billions of the best arms to the rest of the world in general.Originally Posted by fl1200
You don't need hindsight not to sell certain things to known adversaries, helicopter parts, arms, certain tech etc etc.
You don't need hindsight not to sell or give control to known adversaries major or important portions of your land, food, infrastructure, tech, communications, or important consumer goods.
You do need to monitor certain transactions to know if collectively there may be problem.
You don't need hindsight see known adversaries don't have your best interest at heart. And to legally create bottle necks to any economic leverage that might strengthen their positions.

Question. What would happen to the stock market and the economy if we pulled all our business outof China. Companies sind verboten from selling products to the Chinese.
