China's trade surplus hits record $1.08 trillion after just 11 months

[drudge X]

And the blind partisan right continues to ignore the fact that Trump is a failure – his failed tariff agenda being one of endless examples.

You swallowed whatever the media told you. That's even sadder.

“China has throttled back its purchases of American soybeans and other products by almost the same rate, continuing to sell three times as much to the United States as it buys.”

Failure

That is not Trump's fault, tariffs should be motivating buyers to seek cheaper alternatives. Instead those buyers pass on the costs to consumers. Not much the president can do in that situation.

Nor has Trump finalized any long-term trade deal with China. Such things take time. Simple minded rubes that require instant gratification are unable to understand such lofty concepts, apparently.

So what's the trade balance with the US?

A lot of these people are probably paid Chinese propagandists. It would explain much.

Idiot, where do you think the device you've just posted this from is made?

Mines an American company but since Feb 2025 is investing 500 billion to build assembly plants right here in America.

Thanks to Trump

Sounds like a lot of tariff collection from idiots that continue to buy Made in China crap.

What’s the problem?

There really is no problem as far as I can see. Of you want to buy Chinese stuff it's still pretty low cost. Go to Harbor Freight, prices are still low. Check out Temu. The 'crisis' due to tariffs is so overblown.

 

[justoffal]

Nations that no longer produce much of anything throwing up tariffs against the countries that do.
Quite laughable.

Precisely why they are losing. You can scream at people all day long to buy locally but if there's nothing local to buy they're going to buy otherwise.

In fact now that you mention it it's the un-tariffed goods and services that have gone up in price due to dollar devaluation. So you're correct..... They're bitching about nothing but political hackery.

China makes so much profit on their cheap goods they just pay the tariffs and take the profit hit. Their labor costs are very low.

To make matters worse they also push trade imbalance by devaluing their currency synthetically.

This absolutely destroys the living standard of the average Chinese citizen. China is a ticking social time bomb waiting to explode.

Trump could put a 100% tariff on everything and they would still eat it.

The media wanted this to be a hit piece against Trump, a very cheap shot but failed. Only gullible leftists believe the US alone has $1 trillion trade deficit with China during Nov.

Part of that number has to do with dollar devaluation....

It's pretty clear that the Chinese propaganda Mills are present here on this board.

Fear porn sells for the media. Best of all, they know leftists would swallow anything that is anti Trump, true or false.

The idiot OP runs with whatever talking point he is fed each morning. He looks no further into the future than the next email telling him what to think.

This is why City Gator ran away. If anything, the world should thank Trump. They know Trump is 100% correct. Leftists can say it loud. Trump is correct again.

Markets such as the EU and the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) remain the main sources of export growth for China. Shipments to ASEAN countries increased 8.2 percent to $58.1 billion, with Vietnam carrying the load.

It helps when you filter out the noise. Leftists only care about noise when it comes to Trump. Trump should ask the EU to pick a side.

The EU's goods trade deficit with China has ballooned by nearly 60% since 2019, while France's trade balance with the $19 trillion economy continues to widen.
