Wow, sound trade and industrial policy has been held hostage for WAY too long by subsidized, and IMO pampered, farmers that represent 2% of the workforce and 5% of the US GDP. Even in "heavily agricultural" Iowa manufacturing there is 3.5 times as large as agriculture.
Imagine that......
For all the criticism Trump got, he knew, again, what he was doing.
And now it will be dropped into a black hole of forgetfulness, never to see the light of day again as they focus on something else Trump has allegedly done bad or wrong.
Agriculture aside, 39 million American jobs depend on international trade and that trade is critical to the success of many sectors of the American economy.
98% of the roughly 300,000 U.S. companies that export are small and medium-sized businesses, and they account for one-third of U.S. merchandise exports.
You may think that America can survive trading only within our borders but it would be a far poorer America.
China's obviously buying market share, or, more accurately, protecting market share to compensate for the tariffs with lower prices. Why is China doing this? I believe it is motivated by more than the obvious need to hold onto its market share in exports, it is a signal that China is not going to come to an agreement before 2020.
I think it tells us that China believes that its downside risks of inflation and loss of reserves can be managed very easily in this command economy, at least until 2020. It tells us that China is keeping its factories open by reducing prices so that civil unrest-the biggest chronic fear of China's elite-can be managed, at least in the short term.
Most importantly, this move tells us that China is not in this game as a game but as a existential war. I think they know they can survive very well until 2020 and if Trump is reelected they can go on until 2024.
Oh man I either forgot or never even knew about that one!

I wonder what Xi’s trading account looks like.
Sunday night. “Wong, I am selling the Dow short. How about we devalue just a tad.”
Monday afternoon: “Wong, I am all set now. Put it back where it was.”
Thanks!!!
Exactly. Their forced human organ harvest program should make them the pariah of the world.
