Trumpists use collapse of the shoe sector in SP as a warning against China

Called Project 2025, the 920-page document describes concrete actions to, in practice, refound the American state. The initiative is the realization of the extreme right’s effort to establish its vision of government and society. The authors do not hide it: they hope that the proposals will be part of a possible new Trump administration, if the Republican wins the elections next week.

The idea for the project began to take shape in 2022, when the ultra-conservative entity Heritage Foundation brought together more than one hundred organizations. Faced with a list of controversies, Trump tried to distance himself from the project and say he was not involved. But at least 140 of those invited to think about the future of the USA had worked with Trump and, according to Kamala, this is the government plan of the groups most loyal to the Republican.

In the commercial chapter, the intention to create tariffs and barriers, mainly against the Chinese, is explicit.

According to the text, since 2005, Chinese state banks have issued US$138 billion in loans to Latin American countries, and other Chinese entities have invested another US$140 billion.

“China-financed projects are known to employ substandard labor and environmental practices, fuel corruption, promote wasteful financial decisions by governments, advance China’s geostrategic interests, and create an unequal trade relationship in which China obtains raw materials raw materials from developing countries and sells manufactured products to these countries,” he said.

“For example, Brazil, the world leader in footwear production, saw its sector collapse under a flood of cheap Chinese imports,” highlighted the Trump campaign document.
