When people in a relationship argue there are certain things that cause permanent damage to the relationship. This feels like the Chinese are on the path to creating permanent damage to the relationship.

Underneath their facades, many commies, particularly our domestic variety,are brittle, humorless little sissies. Give them a little taste of reality and show themselves to be humorless, stupid little sissies.

Over the last 4 decades, OUR stupid and often treasonous foreign policy establishment [FPE] gave away the store to the Ching Chong Chicoms. The only thing they brought to the table was an endless supply of slave labor. Our wizard quisling FPE routinely structured the trade arrangements with the chicoms as adhesion agreeements, thus rendering, over time, the American middle class an economic nullity. America's formerly proud and independent engine of wealth creation, its middle class, was essentially cashiered. Does any thoughtful American citizen believe that the Kenyanian obscenity, or the dry drunk from Crawford,TX, or the corrupt US Congress, gave a damn about the main result of trading with a murderous thug regime? Not. So give the Chicoms their Pandas. And jack our tariffs on all of their junk until they HOWL.

Yeah - that’ll show us...the only reason the pandas made such a splash is because it was taken as a sign that China was thawing towards us...and the real reason was so the libs could allow them free rein in stealing our secrets and breaking patent laws for their own enrichment (China and the lax-ative libs)

Whattaya say, we drop Cingchang from our tourist plans? I’ve seen pettiness, but this is absurd.

Yes, there are a lot of things China COULD do, but remember one thing: From the tariffs on Midwest agricultural products to the highly-visible Panda, China is hitting us where they think they can mostly likely influence the next election: They want Trump out of office.

Remember this for the chess game that it is.

This is an indicator of how hard it has become for the Chinese communists to find ways to retaliate against the last round of tariffs.

Most anything that they could block or tariff from the USA to give themselves any advantage, had already been effectively blocked or tariffed for years or decades. They had to increase tariffs on things they really want or need, just to show a response (save face). Their “retaliatory” tariffs are already into the range of cutting off their own nose, to spite their face - things like components they need for their own export products.

They were dramatically unable to match the last round of American tariffs 15% (raising from 10% to 25%) on $200 billion worth of goods (~$30 billion in tariffs). Their retaliation averaged closer to 5% on $60 billion (~$3 billion in tariffs).

They are basically out of ammo in the trade war, and the USA has yet to levy its main package of tariffs - 25% on $325 billion (~$80 billion in tariffs) - which is on track to be ready in just a few weeks.

Beyond this point, it is not a trade war at all anymore - simply a one way trade beating. A pretty severe beating.

Has anyone asked San Diego zoo about this? I saw those pandas the week before they were sent back and clearly understood that it was the end of a pre-agreed term.

I bought the women’s shoes. Yes pricey. But these are leather shoes hand made in Israel by free adults. They should last for many years. Good shoes that last do cost a bit.

You can get cheaper. Made in China by child labor, etc. But we are fighting against that. You have to remember cheap stuff that falls apart too fast is what we have to say no to.

The only thing I would do wearing a pair of Nikes is plant my foot up Kapernicks behind.

Probably not in these pandas’ best interests to move.

Probably not in the species’ best interests, either
