China one of great thefts of all time: Trump

Republican presidential front- runner Donald Trump has slammed China for the devaluation of its tightly-controlled currency, describing the Communist trading giant as one of the “great thefts” of all time.

“China has been one of the great thefts of all time, what they’ve done to the United States. We can’t let China continue to get away with what they’re doing to our country,” Trump said on Wednesday. “The number-one way that countries are killing us is with devaluations of their currencies, and our companies can’t compete. You take a look at what’s happening in Japan with the devaluation of the yen, just look at this. Caterpillar is having such a hard time competing with Komatsu, which is a big tractor-maker from Japan,” Trump said.
