I think Jack Ma said it best...

"Ma says blaming China for any economic issues in the U.S. is misguided. If America is looking to blame anyone, Ma said, it should blame itself."

“It’s not that other countries steal jobs from you guys,” Ma said. “It’s your strategy. Distribute the money and things in a proper way.”

He said "the U.S. has wasted over $14 trillion in fighting wars over the past 30 years rather than investing in infrastructure at home."
