Trade war against China

[ErikViking]

Allright. I’ll admit it. I know little about international trade. But anyone who sets down the foot and calls china out is doing something right.

maybe US will suffer, that would be a shame - because the world (except Russia) needs to start treating China as the rouge state it is.

Good of you, and Trump - not a favourite - but he should have credit for standing up against China. Hope, wish and want them to cave in on this matter.

Yeah, and Canada and Europe, too! Their national security threat steel and national security threat cars really had to be tackled head-on.

Look, I guess there is some merit in calling out China as a rogue state concerning trade. Meaning, they are violating international trade rules, and your motivation is that international trade rules be upheld. You cannot then turn around and praise the Trump for going rogue on pretty much the rest of the world, violating trade rules across the board, and hope to be taken seriously as someone who could argue his case consistently. There are rules to follow in trade disputes, institutions to contact, procedures to be invoked, and rulings by independent actors to be honored. That's how a rules-based world of trade is supposed to work, not everyone in a position to do so going rogue, bullying everyone else.

There is a larger point to be made in that the "America First" imbecile works as a wrecking ball taken to the post-WW II international order, largely U.S.-created as it is, diminishing, dismantling, and delegitimizing international institutions and treaties created peaceably to resolve disputes. That's going to haunt us all, probably for decades to come.

Rogue state? The Chinese will do business with anyone. No threats of embargo or sanction, no navy hanging out on the horizon, no history of interfering with currencies.

A little rouge never hurt a nations' cheeks.

I see what you mean, but it’s like the first time after the wwii someone steps up. Can’t help liking that.
I cringe when China is awarded olympics and stuff like that. The world just tip-toes around them...

 

[pismoe]

Go USA and The TRUMP OldEuro !!

it's not a Trade War--it's making things fair for the US

Its about making things lopsided for the US

 

[cnm]

Because US companies can't refuse an unfair investment if they try?

Yeah. How dare it pretend it's a worthy nation when it's unfair to the US?

A repressive dictatorship, somehow reaping the spoils of a free market while systematically stealing from it.

Ah, I thought you didn't mean it literally when you said you knew "little about international trade".

Of course, that's exactly the way to deal with bullies, always has been: Cheer them on. Teach them that bullying is effective, and onlookers fall in line behind them.

Whatever. The fun really begins in case the bully sets his sights on your (or any other) little shit-hole country - since the trade war against China was so easy to win. After all, we all couldn't be happier in case the big bully goes to war on behalf the international Casino gangsters of AmeriCorps transferring valuable business secrets to China for enhanced profits - and then whine about China saying "Thank you!"

Right?

Straight over my head.
Will have to read again to filter out irony.


As I said, I really don’t know much about this - but I sense a good feeling when a country like China gets opposed.

It's unfair to the US all right. You should complain about it.
