China on Friday threatened to unveil an unprecedented hit list of "unreliable" foreign firms, groups and individuals who harm the interests of Chinese companies as a slate of retaliatory tariffs on imported U.S. goods was set to kick in at midnight.
The commerce ministry did not single out any country or company, but the threat could further heighten tensions after Washington this month put Huawei on a blacklist that effectively blocks U.S. firms from doing business with the Chinese telecoms equipment giant.
Beijing's "unreliable entities list" would apply to those who violate market rules and the spirit of contracts, block supplies to Chinese companies for non-commercial reasons, "seriously damage the legitimate rights and interests" of Chinese companies and harm China's national security, the ministry said.
A deluge of sharply worded commentaries, criticism and warnings from China in the last two weeks has intensified a battle of words with the United States that could complicate the run-up to any meeting between their respective leaders next month

Raise it to 100%. I hate China and everything they stand for; this merely is a wake up call to me and millions of others how bad China truly is. Life is BETTER without Chinese crap and our subsidizing of our enemy.
Partner, we are in full agreement. We also need to blame American companies for wanting to increase their profits on the backs of the American Patriot workers.
We need to support the American workers, period.
China has become what it is today on the backs of the American Patriot workers.

Chinese are blood suckers. Eff them. I hope the tariffs create huge unrest in China. They’ve bent us over long enough. Eviscerated out industry and screwed our workers.
Screw ‘em.

Partner, we whole heartily agree that the Chicoms will not kill their own people this time around.
We do not agree unless there has been a fundamental change in the thousands of years of Chinese political culture. Mass protests will be violently, and with extreme prejudiced, put down.

Partner, just maybe the Chicoms will have a Civil War with their own people.
Yes, the Chicoms have gone after the civilians when called upon by one the Chicom leaders in the area.
The Chicoms will have to layoff folks, period and this will lead to unrest the Chicoms have not ever seen. Yes, the Chicoms will come to suppress the civilian unrest and the Chicoms will come after these protests.
Chicoms are ruthless with the civilian population as witnessed in the Tiananmen Massacre of around 8,000 to 10,000 Chinese civilians but the Chicoms can not give us this number, so we will never know how many Chinese civilians were exactly killed.
Our own business leaders in this country have taken jobs over there in China so that Patriot Americans will experience layoffs.
President Trump will stand up for the Patriot American workers period.
The Chicoms have never seen a president like President Trump and the Chicoms have enjoyed the Bush family, the Clintoons, and the America Hating Piece of Work Obama, since they acted so UnAmerican when we lost all of the jobs to these Chicoms. The Chicoms will take an advantage given to them but these so called CEO's should be taken to court for taking our technology and giving it to the Chicoms.
We need to have CEO's that are loyal to the U.S.A. and we should have leaders in companies where they will be loyal to the U.S.A.
