China Loses More From This Trade War

[Indeependent]

Beijing has been enjoying the benefits of free trade with the West and the domestic political fruits of an increasingly anti-Western foreign policy. It’s time they were made to pick one.

“It is vulnerable because it is a much poorer country with more fragile political institutions.”

It is also the worlds largest consumer market. No country will want to be excluded from it, not even the US. Short-term wins may turn out to be long-term losses as China adapts to a new relationship with the US.

And other than residents of Shanghai, how many Chinese can really afford most of our products?

More Cadillacs are sold in China than in the US.

Like I posted early yesterday, “Who buys a Cadillac?!”.

You do realize that the US is a self sustaining country? That all our needs are right here in the Good Ole US of A? That without her, no other country would be able to survive?

We could be a self sustaining country but we are not and that is why our trade deficit was so large. If we were a self sustaining country our standard of living would be lower than it is today.

We’re not self-sufficient because the neo-Cons gutted out our industries.

China is 1% super rich and the rest dirt poor.

Without the US buying the cheap shit products of China, there is no economy of China?

China is a society of worker bees trying to survive and the elite at the top. No middle like here.

There is no middle here either.

So what do you think President Trump is trying to do? Yes, we would like to be fair to other countries but like the past two presidents, we dont want to be fucked in the ass, as Obama constantly apologized for.

We are looking at the Trade War from a western perspective which is misleading. The current Legalist regime is just a repeat of the Chin (Xin) dynasty that gave China its name. China is again trying to shape the world in its image. China is irritating the crap out of everybody because it sees all non-Chinese as barbarians. It's about due for another warring states period for the same old reason, their imperial model is defective.

Those are some sad looking soybeans! Obviously not an American product. I wouldn't eat them, look more like cattle feed but good enough for the Chinx.

We’re not self-sufficient because the neo-Cons gutted out our industries.

We’re not self-sufficient because we're not a 3rd world economy and global trading makes us rich.

Hopefully he is not trying to take us OUT of the global economy.

What he is doing is a high-stakes poker game and he keeps raising the stakes. If he wins we win big, if he loses we lose big. He's a gambler but his record is far from perfect so we should all be scared if he's taking us over a cliff.

This goes deeper than most realize......

China is backing Iran. Bigly.

China is backing Venezuela as well.

Trump, not being a STOOPID dimocrap scumbag, knows this.

So he's stepping up the pressure on China by threatening to shut down China's main sources of Oil -- Iran and Venezuela.

We just recalled our Ambassador and all of his staff from Iraq. The shit's about to hit the fan. Iran acts up and Oil from Iran just simply stops.

Venezuela is in for a surprise in the near future. And China will be left without Oil.

Saudi Arabia isn't gonna help them out. China is helping Iran, who is waging a proxy War with SA in Yemen.

We (the world's LARGEST producer of Oil) are more than making up for Iran's and Venezuela's cut-back production.

China better figure it out. Soon. Unless they want a War, one which they would lose VERY badly, they better pull their heads out of their asses.

And don't think for one second that Russia would help China. If anything, they'd take their pants down and stick it to them while they're laying on the ground bleeding to death. Russia would just as soon slap China upside the head as look at them.

China doesn't have many friends in this. And the few they have are in a bad situation.

This situation is far more complicated than the DISGUSTING FILTH in the media can comprehend. Anything other than #orangemanbad is beyond their understanding.

China will NOT be left without oil. Oil is a fungible commodity.

Didn't say anything about leaving them 'without' oil.

All we have to do is leave them SHORT of oil.

Notice how China isnt raising the stakes? Why is that? Dont you want the US and its employees to win?

Actually you did say 'without' oil but that is unimportant, they will not be SHORT of oil. The best we could do would be to make them pay more for the oil they import.

I'm an American so of course I want the US to win, I'm just worried we won't. Seems China has done a tit for tat so far but they have been measured. If they started selling the US Treasury Bonds they hold we might be in serious trouble.

You're right. I did. A minor slip up. A discerning reader should have inferred the qualifier 'without sufficient oil'.
