As expected, China immediately hits the U.S hard again, sensing weakness. If Reagan had been in Trumps position he would have sunk the communists by NOT removing tariffs.

I think in the end, with the future S Korea president friends of China and N Korea, with Europe failing, democracy and capitalism is going to fail. We are in a very precarious place because we allow the Communists and their friends off the mat and they prove repeatedly that they will squeeze us back, knowing they own the big corporations, politicians and media. Probably have a number of high ranked spies who have told them "hit back, Trump wont bring the tariffs back".

I said that Trump should have given a press conference to the nation and outlined all of the abuses China has gotten away with and why de-coupling is important. America and the West are cutting their own noses off. They are costing humanity its once cherished and taken for granted freedoms when the CCP win.


China will impose a 75 per cent anti-dumping tax on American imports of an important engineering plastic – a move that underscores the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries.


The levies on polyformaldehyde copolymers were made in the wake of a 90-day tariff truce between the United States and China, which reduced most tariffs, but the imposition of these duties signalled the possibility of further escalation.

Imports of the same plastic from the European Union, Taiwan and Japan will face duties between 32.6 and 35.5 per cent
 
Snidley, have you scared off that Chinaman hiding in your closet yet?

Trump started a trade war that we were not in a good position to win, given China long ago eclipsed us as the world's top trading partner.

China does 36% of the world's manufacturing. Trump isn't going to fix that.

It's interesting that this post doesn;t show up under "New Topics".

Will this forum remain relevant or will Americas own "Creepy Ones" destroy that too?

Is censorship the new America? If so, tell your kids they might get a job with the Man but the lineage of free rides probably ends there. Figure that out yourself. Some on this forum are salivating over becoming more Canadian than American...

As soon as I post this, 30 minute after I posted it suddenly shows up in New Topics. I suspected this censorship some time ago.

Honourary Canadians you are. As one guy once advised me "the same creeps you deal with in Canada are found in America and Europe also"

A squalid procession of vain fools as it were...

Trump wants immediate results, China is patient and methodical, they play the long game, knowing Trump only has 4 years, at best, before sanity returns to the White House.

The question is whether or not we can repair the damage left in his wake.

So, um, is there anyone who's not out to get you, Snidley?

If you were someone I cared about, and they talked crazy stuff like this, I'd be very worried about them.

FACT CHECK: No, China Did Not Raise Tariffs On US By 75%
