There’s nothing left for them to tariff other than airplane parts. Chinese purchases of US goods are declining nearly to zero. Trump has hurt America.
I just checked your profile page.
Anyone who calls a globalist jack@ss like Dick Cheney "my buddy" has absolutely no credibility.
Perhaps slightly, the way antiseptic stings when killing an infection, but Trump has really, really hurt China. Another promise kept.
Having spent quite a bit of time in China on business, I can undeniably say that China is in much greater need of access to the U.S. market. This was an easy battle to win. Someone just needed to take a stand for the U.S. for once, and not just grab the ankles.
You are babbling incoherently. Try traveling to China sometime. Those who can afford Western goods do so as status symbols. A 5% increase in any price of any status symbol will never stop a purchaser from buying it.
China is #3 of all nations we export goods to. Canada ($300bn) and Mexico ($260bn) are at the top, then China at $120bn, and 4th is Japan at only $75bn. (India is 9th at $33bn.)
The top US export categories to China in 2018 were: aircraft (($18 billion), machinery ($14 billion), electrical machinery ($13 billion), optical and medical instruments ($9.8 billion), and vehicles ($9.4 billion).
U.S. total exports of agricultural products to China totaled $9.3 billion in 2018, our 4th largest agricultural export market. Leading domestic export categories include: soybeans ($3.1 billion), cotton ($924 million), hides & skins ($607 million), pork & pork products ($571 million), and coarse grains (ex. corn) ($530 million).
Please, do let us know which of those people will stop being if they are 5% more expensive.
Don’t you say that tariffs are only paid by the people buying the products? That means only the Chinese are hurt by tariffs on US goods.
Unless you are a liar.
You’ve just proven that we hurt China when we tariff their goods.
I love it when idiots makes themselves transparent, don’t you?
Bull crap. Take it somewhere else. You're embarrassing yourself with comments like that.
“There’s nothing left for them to tariff other than airplane parts. Chinese purchases of US goods are declining nearly to zero. Trump has hurt America.”
i agree. it would be far better to let China continue to steal our intellectual property, manipulate its currency, continue to put massive tariffs on U.S. goods like it’s done for years, put no tariffs on Chinese goods, and let China steal all of our manufacturing jobs without taking any actions at all like Obama and the Bushes did ...
Your inanity and blatant stupidity hurts to read.
The issues with China are beyond just economic. China was not dealt with appropriately over these last 30 years of opening up trade - if they had been instead of allowing them to run roughshod over everything, all of the reforms and changes promised may have actually occurred. Instead, China has stolen property, technology, etc. simply to prop up and empower the existing regime. They weren’t changed by the WTO - they changed the WTO. Instead of us influencing them, they influenced us. Instead of them becoming more like Hong Kong, they are making Hong Kong more like them. And so forth. It is a crying shame as it did not have to be this way.
