Tariffs on China raised from 34% to 54% to now 104%

[Marener]

Why not?

Buying the best product at the best price. Isn’t that how the free market is supposed to work ?

 

[Crepitus]

Good, don’t buy them either.

How many of them do you own.

Don't lie.

 

[Crepitus]

CCP China is seeking to be the dominate nation on Earth.

All nations are.

What of it?

 

[Blisterfinger]

We don't need this GARBAGE from CHINA anyway, it's all JUNK! China can just piss off home!

Canada doesn't seem to have a problem not buying our stuff.

Wouldn't the free market be 0% tariffs everywhere?

 

[Darkwind]

Trump is a moron.

So are you. And Biden is a vegetable.

Yet, not a peep from you clowns when the cost of living when up over 1000 dollars a year, inflation was at 9%, and prices rose 22 to 50%.

Buy Ameican.

Chinese Economy Would Collapse If US Buyers Cut Support, Says Trump’s China Envoy Pick​

David Perdue, a former Fortune 500 CEO and senator, pledges to educate Americans about the dangers posed by communist China.
...
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s nominee for ambassador to China told lawmakers on Thursday that the American buyers could deal the Chinese economy a fatal blow by stopping the injection of money.

David Perdue, a former Fortune 500 CEO and one-term senator for Georgia, said in his confirmation hearing that it’s time for the United States to take a stand against Beijing’s unfair trade practices after decades of turning a blind eye.

Perdue said he believes “those days are over.”

“The way forward is for the United States to become informed about that and to stand up to the channels,” he said.

He acknowledged that some sacrifices might be necessary, as “what we’ve become seduced by are the cheap prices that we gave into over the last 30 years coming out of China,” often subsidized by the state.

“If the American public says enough’s enough, what will happen to their economy?” Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) asked.

“It'll collapse,” Perdue replied.
...
“American people are paying a very big price,” he said in a Rose Garden speech, adding that Beijing has taken “tremendous advantage of us.”

Trump also signed an executive order to put tariffs on low-value packages from China, closing a loophole Chinese e-commerce firms have exploited to send goods worth under $800 into the United States duty-free.
...
The Chinese economy is in trouble. Unemployment rates are at a record high, and foreign investors are pulling out. Official Chinese data show that net foreign direct investment, a major avenue for the country’s GDP, dropped by $168 billion over the past year.
....
At the hearing, Perdue described the U.S.–China relationship as “the most consequential diplomatic challenge of the 21st century.”

Citing the Trump administration’s foreign policy commitment to making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous, Perdue said reciprocity and the U.S. security should be considered in all dealings with China and the United States.

Perdue said he would make human rights one of his top priorities if confirmed as the U.S. ambassador.
...
Perdue characterized slave labor, which has accounted for some Chinese products’ low prices, as one tool for Beijing to “cheat” the international trade system.

“If America doesn’t stand up for that, no one else will,” he said.

A State Department report in 2023 said Beijing spends billions of dollars annually to disseminate disinformation and propaganda worldwide.
To defend against such challenges at home, Perdue calls for the United States to establish an education system about the dangers posed by the regime.
....
“Most people are not aware that they’re in our power grid. They’re not aware that they’re collecting our data. They’re not aware that our ports can be manipulated by people in China. So that is an education process that we owe our people,” he said, adding that the United States should work with allies to develop collective messaging that promotes U.S. values.

Perdue mentioned the book “Unrestricted Warfare,” written by two Chinese military colonels in 1999. One key tenet outlined in there was about disseminating propaganda into countries the regime wants to influence, he said, and his goal as the U.S. ambassador is to make Americans aware of its “subliminal” danger.

Good, don’t buy them either.

We American Loving Citizens don’t buy this trump trash. That’s what you clowns do.

Stop buying things made by slaves.

I would NEVER buy any trump products.
Why do you?

 

[Dekster]

Don't break your game controllers. They mostly come from China.

At least I bought like 10 years worth of black vinegar before the tariffs.

 

[Stryder50]

Wouldn't the free market be 0% tariffs everywhere?

In a bong dream it would.

 

[Stryder50]

Canada doesn't seem to have a problem not buying our stuff.

Tell that to all the Canadians I bump into down here at our big box stores stocking up on USA groceries, goods, and petrol.

 

[Marener]

So are you. And Biden is a vegetable.

Yet, not a peep from you clowns when the cost of living when up over 1000 dollars a year, inflation was at 9%, and prices rose 22 to 50%.

Buy Ameican.

I’d take a vegetable over Trump given he’s actively trying to put us into a recession and lower our standard of living.

I'll take Trump over anyone on the shallow bench called the DNC.

 

[Marener]

Yep. We actually were getting pretty close to that before Trump took power.

 

[Marener]

I'll take Trump over anyone on the shallow bench called the DNC.

Of course you will. Like Trump, you’d never admit to being wrong because of emotional fragility.

 

[Winco]

In a bong dream it would.

What trump merch are you buying?

Because it isn’t us buying that crap, and trump crap is ALL MADE in China.

Trump has started a trade war with China that could turn into a real war. China is not going to sit still and with the being allies with Russia and having power, this could turn ugly soon.

The least problem but nonetheless a big problem for all of us, is that we will now be unable to buy anything as everything is going to be way to expensive. As of now, things have gone up already and now they are going to go through the roof

White House says 104% tariff on China will take effect Wednesday​

Yep, China will start a "real" war with a country that contains most of their customers....brilliant. Spoken like a true liberal. As far as the 104% tariff, you may want to look up the definition of "reciprocal".

Gee. I hope they won't release a deadly virus into the world and not tell anyone about it.

They would never do that, would they?

China is funding Fentanyl being sent into the US from South America that kills over 300 Americans every day from overdoses and these Left wing fools don't think that there is an active conflict between the two countries

You can't fix stupid.

 

[excalibur]

People like stuff. It makes their lives better.

You going to tell people to accept a lower quality of life? For what?

Xi is proud of you! He says two for you.
