American terrorists that cheat, lie and steal, trying to blame others for their own sneaky and shameless behaviours

Trump is now demonizing Chinese AI innovators for stealing from the USA AI fraternity. The USA ought to look into the mirror and see what it did in the past before bringing up hubris. The USA, in its effort to progress, was using state sponsored theft by stealing British trade secrets since 1791. USA's first Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton advocated rewarding those who brought valuable trade secrets for the country. In other words, rewarding theft of trade secrets from others.

Now, what China may be doing is just taking a leaf from the USA, nothing out of the ordinary. China has not hit back yet using this argument. Do not again float the mantra that the USA has 'exceptionalism' status doing what it did and any other country cannot follow. Putin was right all along, saying that the USA will accuse any other country of doing unacceptable things itself and then accuse others of doing the same.

Trump is now again raising the issue of erecting tariffs against countries for, of all reasons - forced labor issues. What can be more hogwash than what the USA did in the past by kidnapping Black Africans to work as slaves in cotton fields, railroads and mines which is even worse than forced labor, without wages and some clad in chains for fear that those slaves may run away.

Having said that, I am surprised that Red Dot is also among 60 countries under forced labor practices identified by the USA. Did I miss something?
