The United States Will Not Win This Trade War

[Meister]

But they do have the cheap labor which is like crack cocaine to Mr Businessman

They still can't play 'Chicken' because of the trade imbalance.

Tabitha explains how Trump is so in over his head he has no understanding of the destruction he's reigning down on America, particularly w/messing w/the bull called China.

She explains how they've been around for thousands of years and they don't care what they have to do to win this, including clips from Chinese officials.

Watch....



America is in deep financial trouble as long as Trump is at the reigns.

Ok and who is this never-heard-of-them negro?

Cheap labor is good for chinese exports

But if America isnt buying then cheap labor is a handicap for the chinese economy

China's economy depends DEPENDS on the US.

After all, we are financing their military

We dont need china

But china needs America

 

[rightwinger]

Basically. That's why for as long as Trump is at the helm, America is economically screwed!

Hopefully we'll be able to repair the damage he'll have done once he's outta here. Hopefully.

I doubt that the Trump is gone now and we are back to normal trick will work.

We elected Trump twice. The world will not trust us not to elect another populist tyrant. MAGA awaits

 

[Harry Dresden]

Yeah, and maybe some bombs can drop on our heads.

Same difference.

if its the same why did you say it was different?....

It's a lose-lose game. However, the Red Dragon seems to remain stronger than the American Eagle after the fight. lol.

Trump's Tariffs and the Trade War with China

In 2025, the trade war between the United States and China, reignited by former President Donald Trump's tariffs, has escalated significantly. The tariffs imposed by Trump are projected to increase the average tax burden on U.S. households by nearly $1,300. This situation has led to a complex economic landscape where both nations are grappling with the repercussions of their trade policies.

#### Current Dynamics of the Trade War

China has strategically adapted to the ongoing trade war by diversifying its trade relationships, reducing its dependency on the U.S. market. Since the initial trade conflict began in 2018, Beijing has ramped up trade with other countries, indicating a shift in its economic strategy. In response to Trump's tariffs, China has retaliated by imposing tariffs as high as 125% on U.S. imports, showcasing its willingness to endure economic pain to counter U.S. measures.

#### Who is Likely to Win?

The question of who is likely to "win" in this trade war is complex. Analysts suggest that China may have the upper hand in this ongoing conflict. The rationale behind this perspective:

• Economic Resilience: China's ability to pivot and strengthen trade ties with other nations has made it less vulnerable to U.S. tariffs.
• Long-term Strategy: While the U.S. operates under a more volatile political environment, where tariffs can be adjusted at the whim of leadership, China's decision-making is more centralized and strategic.
• Mutual Losses: the trade war is likely to result in mutual losses for both countries. The escalating tariffs create a lose-lose scenario, but China's broader economic strategies may allow it to weather the storm better than the U.S..

#### Conclusion

In sum, while both the U.S. and China face significant challenges due to the trade war, China's strategic adaptations and resilience suggest it may emerge from this conflict in a stronger position. The ongoing tariffs and retaliatory measures are reshaping global trade dynamics, making it crucial for both nations to consider the long-term implications of their economic policies.

Like kill another 60 million of their own people?

The United States has more clout than China.

What clout? Clout comes with being trusted. Trump destroyed that trust.

Nope, but I am European. Grew up with the US. loved it. Culturally, economically, militarily. Married an American even.

This America is not that America anymore. It is nationalistic, cruel, anti-democratic, doesn't give a flying fuck about anything but what they perceive as their very narrow interest in the moment. Not for one second considering what allowed for its outsized influence on the world or the consequences of their policies on it. So be it.

But then don't be surprised when the rest of the world decides that China might just be the lesser of 2 evils. At least when the UN tried to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine, China had the manners to abstain while the US voted with beacons of Democracy like N-Fucking-Korea in opposition. To just give one of many examples of the US giving up on even basic decency.

You just admitted you choose China over us. Which commies like you would naturally do.

Funny. You seem to think I'm somehow beholden to the US for some reason. Here's a tip that might stand you in good stead in your life. If somehow who claims to be a friend abuses that friendship by demanding, not asking for stuff. That person will no longer be considered a friend.

I know it's hard to hear for the self-absorbed, but actions have consequences.

As for me being a "commie." It's an easy accusation. Just as easily dismissed. I will just point out that you support the guy who tried to overturn an election. And you support the guy that is using his office trying too actively undermine Democracy.

My point is, that me reevaluating my position, (and I suspect a significant portion of the world's) vis a vis the US, is a direct result of the actions of your orange God King. Call me any name you like. Doesn't change that simple fact. Fuck around and find out how the US will become "great again", as an international pariah.

If you are British how about mind your own business. You are butting into our affairs. So bugger off

Not British at all, I'm Belgian, since you're interested.

And imposing tariffs on nations is butting into their affairs. Threatening to annex territory that belongs to other nations is butting into their affairs. Threatening sanctions if countries take measures to reduce carbon emissions is butting into their affairs. Demanding adherence from foreign companies to culture war BS is butting into their affairs.

The US is doing all that and more. Unprovoked, and on a daily basis. So why exactly should the US have a privilege that it doesn't want to extent to others?

Tariffs are part of trading goods. Dont want to trade go trade with your buddies China. Perhaps we build our on steel mills and stop buying Primetals huh?

So, the game is ignoring everything you don't want to hear.

Primetals is British, something I'm not. And yes, the US can choose to do business somewhere else. So can everybody else. Taken to its logical extreme that would give us the world to trade with and give you one piece of one continent. Who makes out in that scenario you figure?

Again, you seem to think that the rest of the world should simply ignore their own national interests in favor of yours. That's not how it works. Alliances require MUTUAL benefits. Demanding land from your allies is not that. Demanding that they ignore the damage Global Climate Change is doing to the world is not that. Demanding that they ignore their own national security threats is not that. Demanding that they treat their citizens in the same disgusting bigoted manner that you do is not that. And starting an unprovoked trade war with them is not that.

A country can do all these things sure. Just don't expect that other countries won't respond to it.

So you love China. I always thought you were a Communist cheerleader.

That is your dear leader.
