Trump tariffs hurt china exports

[Mac-7]

Not only are direct exports to America reduced but exports to the entire world are affected

China had over capacity before the tariffs

Now it will be even worse for china

Looks like a trade war with China. Trump has 104% tariffs on China until they drop that last 34% they put on the US.

China is the reason that.the global international order has been harmed and usurped. They relegatedthee the UN and WTO untrustworthy and more irrelevant than ever. I have nothing agaiinst their leadership, they are doing well for thrnselves, but the West must crawl back to the US-lead world trade ordsr. This requires America bringing back many of its industries and having fair trade and market access. Canada would do the same if we had people with vision and a thorough understanding of economics and the dire fiscal consequences we will suffer if we don't

Not as much as you might imagine .
CCP realised this officially some time ago when it officially decided to make China a self sufficient consumer nation .
As distinct from being reliant on exports.
Following Russia's example and specifically guarding against this present type of scenario .

How far they have completed the transition is unknown .
But it will be factored in Deep State's plan to smash the US $ with a view to creating a BRICSplus currency standard to replace it

Yes, china aspires to be a consumer nation

But it just aint wotking out for them

And chinese with money, even if its just a tiny little sum, are not using it to please Xi

They are hoarding it under a mattress or maybe smuggling it to America or europe

Average chinese have lost faith in the chicom economy

Why did we see 10s of thousands of chinese making the dangerous and expensive trek to America under biden but no Americans begging to move to china?

Here’s what China thinks of America

 

[Ringo]

Capitalist hustlers used to buy shoes in China for $2 and sell them for $200 at home. That's how modern capitalism works.
Now you have to produce in the U.S. for $20. and sell them for the same $200.
Hustlers don't agree to that!

We'll add this to the ever growing list of shit you're wrong about.

From the piece:

The enormous trade surplus for the full year came despite efforts by President Trump to use tariffs to contain China’s factories. The tariffs reduced China’s trade surplus with the United States by 22 percent last year. But Chinese factories increased sales to other regions, in many cases bypassing American tariffs by shipping goods to the United States through Southeast Asia and elsewhere.

So not only are they still selling stuff to us indirectly...we're paying more for it because of the middle man and the tariffs.

 

[Darlo kittu]

Let's see since the tariffs were announced we have been told

Inflation would skyrocket
The Dow would collapse
Your 401K woukd disappear
Unemployment would rise
The economy would go into recession

Eh, still waiting

I saw this morning the Ford CEO confirmed they are adding a third shift to increase production

Investments in America are rising

And flood waring have been issued over the humongous amount of liberal tears being shed

I am not wrong about the need to cease relying on communist chinese factories to supply America

You are wrong to cheer for the enemy during our economic battle between the US and china
