Tensions escalated between the United States and China when Trump wrote in a tweet on May 5 that he would increase tariffs on $200 billion Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent. Trump accused Beijing of backtracking on its commitment to deliver structural reforms.

The dispute revealed the vulnerability of China’s stock market, with the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index falling nearly 6 percent on May 6, the day after Trump’s tweet. The stocks haven’t recovered since then.

The total outflow from Chinese stocks by nonresidents since tensions escalated reached $6.2 billion, according to IIF, which has tracked capital movement in emerging market equities on a daily basis since 2010.

THE CHINESE ECONOMY IS FRAGILE. They grew too fast. It’s like the fragile building boom in Beijing and Shanghai. Go outside many of the impressive looking sky scrapers and smell the sewage emanating from the shoddy sewage systems that were built too quickly.

The Chinese don’t realize how fragile economies are and how sensitive they are to downturns. They could easily fall into a free fall, a downward spiral that grows and grows until they hit rock bottom. Once it starts, people panic, and there is not much the government can do. A Chinese crash is actually the most dangerous risk to the U.S. and world economy, but it is how we win.

As Margaret Thatcher said to George Bush, don’t get wobbley on us, President Trump. This is a serious fight and the best thing to do is to hit them hard right on the nose and keep hitting them hard until we win.

IT HAS TO BE DONE. The Chinese are dangerous. They are arrogant and tell the world they are going to dominate us both economically and militarily by 2025.

They currently have 1.5 to 3 million Muslims from their northern territories in concentration camps. They are aggressive militarily in Asia. They are supporting rogue nations around the world. They are stealing technology. They had completely one sided trade barriers against foreign companies.

Evil is not too strong a word for what China is doing.

As usual, ignore the mainstream media’s coverage of the trade war, especially the Europeans. Many of them just want Trump to look bad. They focus on the little bit of pain we might experience and completely ignore why the war is necessary.
 
I hope they raise them much higher and add many more products to the list. they can't win, their banking system is a joke, their currency is in toilet paper territory and they're completely dependent on espionage and theft for their technology advancements. Ship them jobs back over here. Trillions in trade deficits is far worse than some small tariffs, until domestic production gets fired up.
 
Yuan devaluation is coming and that could cripple China's trade.

They keep trying to do deals with corrupt idiot states like Iran, many African dictatorships, Russia, all in attempts to fabricate some sort of value in each others' currencies, including India, but to no avail, but that constant ongoing failure doesn't seem to faze or make an impression on all the loons babbling about how 'The Dollar Is Going To Be Abandoned And Collapse Any Minute Now!!!'. They're a lot like Democrats who suffer from TDS.
 
China is on weak economic footing, without a deal they will be having to manage not only a massive amount of accumulated sovereign debt but will be faced with prospect of currency devaluation. China is not in the position to hold out for an extended period without facing serious internal economic damage.
 
Foreign bankers don['t use the fake data governments put out about their current economic statistics, and have their own analysts do their homework; that goes for the U.S. and any other country, and they deal with such transactions, business or just currency trades, accordingly, so there isn't much in the way of surprises for the main banks, outside of some uncovered corruption or other, to cause many shocks. China's failure will be a domestic one; many of these unstable countries are on a gold standard or just trade commodities, so the individual currencies valuations don't really mean much when it comes to examining such deals. Raw oil from Iran is worth so many quantities of machinery or whatever to the Chinese businesses, which are nearly all state businesses in the first place, despite the fictions the 'free traders' want to peddle to the ignorant.

How?

China has been trying to get the yuan accepted as a major currency outside of China like the Hong Kong dollar already is. As to why the politburo attaches very high importance appears to be linked to their moves in the east China and south China Seas. At that point all I can say is that it is very hard to get a link to come up on google that contains the phrase Yuan stabilization.

What does any of that have to do with your claim that a devaluation could cripple their trade?

You find out by looking up their banking system problems; their currency problems are mostly internal and affects their laboring classes more than it does their outside foreign trades, which is controlled by their Cadre middle class types. The Australians have the best China Watchers outside of Taiwan, as far as English speaking press goes, though Taiwan has an excellent news service with an English edition, but I don't recall the name right now; they also have a shortwave broadcast like the BBC does, if you have one of those.
