Synopsis
A documentary feature confronting an urgent problem facing America—its increasingly destructive trade relationship with a rapidly rising China. Since the United States fully opened its markets to China in 2001, over 50,000 American factories have disappeared, more than 25 million Americans can’t find a decent job, and America now owes over 3 trillion dollars to the world’s largest totalitarian nation. Through interviews with voices across the political spectrum, Death By China exposes just how badly the U.S.-China relationship is broken—and why fixing that destructive relationship is critical both to restoring American prosperity and ensuring a peaceful future.
