Tyres, huh?
You ain't from around here, are ya son?
If the Chinese are “dumping” tires here, that means I get to buy them for less. Good! Lots more people buy tires than work for tire manufacturers.
Agribusiness dwarfs the tire business in this country.
You could pretty much see who was going to win this one.
Raise the price of beef sky high I would expect. I read somewhere that the price of pecans has gone way up because of Chinese consumption. I guess there’s just so many pecan trees.
Wow.
I don’t even know what to say to you. Really.
Unbelievable.
They are called Free Traitors for a reason.
USA must be allowed to rule USA again. Industry, business and jobs must be for USAians.
I know what to say to him: Well said.
I suppose if there is any respect for your trademarked Free Traitor you are the only one legally calling anybody that. Have you given permission for anyone else to use it?
There is nothing traitorous about not using government force to make others pay for your job or fund your social security. There is nothing traitorous about allowing people to spend their money as they see fit.
Ya, tires is a very small industry.
I suppose you walk everywhere and haven’t seen how many vehicles are on the road lately.
The irony is that there are over 800 retreading facilities. Almost all are privately owned, mom and pop shops.
Furthermore, dumping is illegal. Especially when the factory gets up to 70% subsidy.
Guess how China subsidizes these tyres? They use the interest they make on our debt, to pay the factories.
But with your logic, I can see why everything is going global now.
It is clear that offshoring industrial prosecution has been a nightmare for the middle class of America. Only traitor at this point would argue otherwise.
The USA no longer makes consumer electronics, clothes, shoes, and now tires. We are world power in name only.
Ah, they were found to be dumping product here (the Chinese gov. subsidizes each tire up to 70%).
That is illegal (not just in the USA..but every country). And it is not free trade.
It’s not free market when the Chinese gov. pays (using the interest they get from US debt) the factory for our tires.
It bankrupts the USA market and is unfair trade practice.
Wow, it’s no wonder China is kicking our butts, americans are idiots.
prosecution = production(spell checker sucks)
Yes, but international law says dumping is illegal and unfair trade practice.
Ironically Malaysia, most Central American countries, S. Korea and a host of others have recently passed tariffs against Chinese Tire dumping. But not the good ol USA. nope, we think free trade is great when the chinese gov uses the interest on our debt to give us free goods...which are not really free.
They are obviously much smarter than us.
According to Free Traitors, there is no such thing as bad or unfair trade. The more factories close in the USA the more Free Traitors celebrate. They are evil people.
Again with the "tyres".
Brillant, let’s follow Malaysia’s lead and take our cues from international law.
So getting tires at 70% off is a bad thing? That is more money to spend on something else or to invest in something else. It also hurts the Chinese government which according to many here is a good thing.
