5. I've never met him and outwith that declaration I do not like him.
I'm by no means a liker of him in terms of his personality or performance as US President but he does offer one thing that appeals to many.I'm fascinated at how so many people seem to like him.....

Pushback against globalisation.
It failed as a concept last time it was tried and my own view is that it's well on the way to failing again this time around. It brings some benefits most certainly but it has come at a huge cost with inequality and that's inherently unsustainable.
Yep.Is Trump's way the best way to rectify this ? I don't know but he seems to be one of the few politicians around the world to even recognise that there is a problem, much less doing anything about it.
He's also right about China and technology theft.
Yep.
I'll add that it's in no way a racial thing, it's simply business. China is using every possible means to win the game and we need to do likewise.
Will they back pay them later?

There are iterations of nationalism which include some form of racism, the Third Reich for example, but racism is not intrinsic to nationalism.
Civic Nationalism (the vast majority of Nationalists) contains no component of racism.
No, there's a vast difference.
I have nothing against China or Chinese people other than that they are seeking to gain economic advantage by unfair means, that being to price labour below rates acceptable in developed countries.
Fix that problem, ensure that workers are employed under arrangements that would be acceptable in Australia, UK, France or other developed countries and I'm fine with it.
It's an economic issue not a racial or even nationalist one.
Likewise if I'm running a small business and doing everything legitimately then yes I'm going to object if I find that the competition just down the road is paying foreign students $5 an hour to do the work, isn't collecting GST and has by-passed the electricity meter. Should I become aware of that unfair competition, yes I'll be expecting that a stop is put to it real quick. That's in no way racist just because the owners and employees happen to be from wherever. It's simply about fair and reasonable competition in business.
