Hey China and WTO,

China’s state-run Global Times on Sunday rounded up ministers and business leaders to condemn President Donald Trump’s ten percent tariff on imports from China, which were scheduled to take effect on Tuesday.
“China’s position is firm and consistent. Trade and tariff wars have no winners. The U.S.’ unilateral tariff hikes severely violate WTO rules. This move cannot solve the US’ problems at home and more importantly, does not benefit either side, still less the world,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said.
The Foreign Ministry insisted China has “one of the strictest and most thorough drug control policies in the world,” so the fentanyl crisis is a “U.S. issue,” not China’s problem. Fentanyl was one of the major reasons Trump cited for imposing tariffs. […]
Similar objections were raised by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and the Ministry of Public Security, both of which insisted that China has nothing to do with the flow of deadly fentanyl into the United States. …

“one of the strictest and most thorough drug control policies in the world,”
Of course, they do. Their policy is to strictly export the crap to other countries.
No bat soup for you China! 20% tariffs!
If USA is a member of WTO, simply withdraw our membership …..
I believe PDJT is 5 steps ahead. When the China controlled WTO rules against the US he will announce the withdrawal from the WTO. Just like China always says “win-win”.
It is sensational to have a President that loves America who is using “Common Sense”.
I love it
A communist country sues because another co7ntry imposes trade tariffs on it.
A chance to save the taxpayers another $20.7 Million?

Just got into an argument with a mislead liberal friend over this.
“The drug problem is not Mexico’s or China’s problem or responsibility, it is here in this country and it is our problem that needs to be dealt with here. You have to stop the demand.”
Ok, how do suggest we do that? This country started cracking down on drug use in 1860. Because of Opium we even banned Chinese immigration for 10 years. Did no good.
Passed federal anti drug laws in 1906. Did no good.
Been passing them since. Did no good.
Right now everything but weed is illegal or controlled. Did no good.
We throw them in jail and judges just let them out because the prisons are already full. Did no good.
What is next? Just start killing them all? Legalize it so they can just kill themselves along with others in the process?
Cutting the source and incoming supply lines are the only actions that “might” make a difference at this point.
Cut off the supply and forced rehab. They don’t get out until clean. No option not to be forcibly in a rehab for a set number of years based on the addiction. Not jail but not a picnic.
Cross post above...was for a fentenol thread.
Well it’s kinda win win.
Until they come to the table, we will make a fortune off of the tariff hitting them.
There are certainly other way to protect against fentynal imports.
They come through Mexico and Canada from China.
Triple up inspections on ships.
It will all work out
hWTO will not be able to do a thing when our subs start sinking the ships that carry fentanyl precursor materials from CHYNA.”
CHYNA is committing an act of war. SO are Mexico and Canada bu association.
The Peoples Repubic of Vagina needs to back off. Or Else.
they will have a gift from America for Won Hung Low.
WTO cases take many years to process and decide.
"Tariffs are bad"—but China restricts U.S. product sales through tariffs, regulations, censorship, and favoritism toward domestic industries, making it difficult for American businesses to compete in the Chinese market.
I’d like to hear from the free traitors. Do you support China in this? After all, President Trump is depriving you of the cheap foreign labor you fought so hard for.
The trouble is, America has way too many communists in black robe who will help them do it.
What tariffs does China have on American goods?

As of the most recent data, China has imposed various tariffs on American goods in response to trade tensions and the broader U.S.-China trade war. These tariffs are part of the retaliatory measures China has taken after the U.S. introduced tariffs on Chinese imports. Some key points:
General Tariff Rates: China imposed tariffs ranging from 5% to 25% on a wide array of American products, including agricultural goods (soybeans, pork, and other farm products), automotive parts, chemicals, and machinery.
Phase One Deal Impact: In January 2020, the U.S. and China signed a “Phase One” trade agreement that led to the reduction of some of these tariffs. Under this deal, China agreed to purchase more American goods and services, but tariffs on many products, especially high-tech goods, remained in place.
Specific Product Tariffs:
Agricultural products like soybeans, pork, and beef faced tariffs, severely impacting American farmers.Technology and electronics like semiconductors, consumer electronics, and other high-tech products still face tariffs, despite some reductions.Luxury goods and vehicles also continue to be subject to tariffs, though these have been adjusted in various rounds of negotiations.
Ongoing Negotiations: Some tariffs remain in place, and certain industries are still facing elevated tariffs. Additionally, there have been ongoing discussions about adjusting these tariffs as part of larger trade negotiations.
These tariffs have fluctuated over time, depending on the progress of negotiations and other political factors. If you need more specific details on particular products or recent developments, I can help look into that!
I know a Public Defender who occasionally gets Rehab for his meth addicted clients rather than jail time.
He assures me that after excellent lengthy rehab, the number that stay clean when released is well under 5%.
The other 95% go straight back to meth.
Fentanyl is only worse.
