Wait. So no tariffs for China?

[Ted Frazier]

As you know, many voters voted or Trump due to "economic anxiety" due in large part to jobs moving to China, a problem which necessitates new anti-China tariffs to the tune of 45%.
But Donald Trump just said that he no longer considers China a currency manipulator.
The "currency manipulator" accusation formed a basis of Trump's argument for tariffs:

AP (4/13/2017): "

And in one of the sharpest reverses of his presidency, Trump backed off from a campaign pledge by saying he would not declare China to be a currency manipulator, an action that could have led to higher tariffs on Chinese goods. The accusation had formed a basis of Trump’s argument for lost American jobs.

Is Trump no longer going to impose tariffs on China? And no, his tariff promise was not conditional upon the North Korea issue.

China could break our back in such a trade war.

China has too much power to be easily beaten without great pain for us.

Or, you could have countered with evidence that Trump and the GOP do in fact have tariff legislation in the works.

lol

 

[NYcarbineer]

The apparent slow death of the tariff 'idea' is just more evidence that Trump is being systemically taken over by the good old Republican Establishment,

just as I predicted.

He has a plethora of tariffs against China.

Amid Chinese trade talks, Trump gets victory…on college campuses: Several Confucius Institutes have closed their doors amid President Trump’s ongoing trade battle with China.

These Chinese funded centers are used by the Chinese as propaganda arms.

The University of Oregon, Western Kentucky University, and San Francisco State University have all announced the closures of their Confucius Institutes, which are on-campus language centers funded by the Chinese government, accused of spying by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), labeled the institutes a threat because of their close ties with the Chinese Communist Party.

TRUMP ENDS FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THESE CHINESE SPYING AND PROPAGANDA OUTFITS

The Department of Defense (DOD) recently denied the schools’ request for waivers to allow the institutes to receive funding. A new federal law signed by Trump last year prevents universities from receiving DOD funding for Chinese language studies if these universities host Confucius Institutes.

The University of Oregon chose to keep its Chinese Flagship program, which has received $3.8 million in federal grants since the 2016-2017 academic year.

Gonzalez also called upon college and university administrators across the country to be transparent in their deals with the Chinese government.

“University presidents should make transparent the promises they’ve made to the Communist party of China,” Gonzalez said. “The added threat for universities that are doing DOD research...this is very sensitive information. Who has access to it? These are questions worth asking.”
