ABC News ^ | GENEVA — Apr 10, 2018, 5:03 AM ET

China has filed a World Trade Organization complaint challenging U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff hike on imported steel and aluminum, the trade body said Tuesday.

The tariff spat is one element of a wide-ranging trade dispute between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping's government. Trump also has threatened to increase duties on $50 billion of Chinese goods in a separate conflict over technology policy.

Mr. Xi had a very good speech yesterday.

Today, this is ... (ahem) ... shown to be a complete sham. Exactly what has been happening for the entire last generation.

President Trump.

Do something. Please.

Sometimes these dictators do one thing for the public and another thing for their own constituents, the ‘party’. The problem is trying to figure out which is which.

I heard just yesterday that we levy a tariff of 5% on planes imported from China while China levies a tariff of 25% on planes they import from the US.As most of us know Boeing in one of the most important exporters we have.

We have had a generation and a half, to notice that China really only ever works for their own constituents.

Frankly.

I thought after listening to President Xi’s talk yesterday, maybe they were serious this time.

I think not. Trump needs to act on this.

For an entire generation and a half, everyone has been selling out our own country.

Everyone.

While I agree with you, I wonder whether the word “gooks” might not be said some other way?

I understand that Chinese use the same sort of language, when they are speaking Chinese. “Lao wai”, is a regular term, used all the time.

But come on. Does anyone here, really talk that way anymore?

(although I am not sure I completely agree with what you said)

There are Chinese who are nice people. No doubt. For real.

However their entire society is completely rigged against foreigners.

The USA should get out of the WTO. It only takes our money and kicks us around, just as the other Leftist organization, the UN, does. Get us out of both of them, Mr. President, and burnish your legacy.

China wants to keep it’s rigged one way free for China intact.

They don’t want to have to actually compete. China knows their stuff is garbage and will not last.
