There are plenty of ways that China is improving through negotiating. They have come miles in the last 10-20 years.
But you don't damage the US economy, hurt consumers and cost LOTS of jobs in a trade war...that is beyond stupid. And China is not going to give in. They can dump money into their economy and they don't have to worry about being re-elected. And they know Trump is virtually alone in his desire for tariffs. Plus he is down in ALL the major polls. China holds all the cards in this game of chicken.
They already delayed the tariffs by months with these negotiations that I KNEW would go nowhere. It was just a stalling tactic that Trump fell right into.
Still think these massive tariffs are a good idea?
Ask the US Chamber of Commerce and just about every, unbiased, well-respected investor on Wall Street.
Massive tariffs are flat out stupid.
It's amazing how much a person can root for an opposing country as long as it fucks over a politician and a political view they don't like.
I doubt Trump could handle this in ANY way that you would approve of.
And of course, a felon is someone convicted of a felony.
I am not rooting for China - Duh. What a remarkably stupid thing to say. I am simply explaining the advantage they have...and that went right over your head. Idiot.
If Trump dropped ALL tariffs and let the free market and the international courts work it out (as they WERE doing successfully before Trump came along)...that would GREATLY impress me. And I would give him credit for it.
You clearly don't have a clue about macroeconomics and are just spinning like a Trumpbot always does.
How are the courts being successful when China just kept doing what it wanted to?
I said free market AND the international courts...not just the courts.
China's trade surplus with the world is down by 80% in just five years.
Free enterprise works.
Tariffs don't.
LOL talking head.
What broad generalizations you have there.
I think Summers is an asshole. But he was chief Economist for the World Bank and knows a HELL OF A lot more then you do about macroeconomics...by about a thousand times.
Fine...then show us a link to unbiased, factual proof that what Summers said about China's trade surplus reduction was untrue?
If you cannot (and you cannot, btw)...then your statement is TOTALLY full of excrement and you prove yet again how ignorant you are AND your above statement is yet another in a long line of you just babbling incoherently when faced with truths you do not like.
Well...where is this link?
