gotta love chicoms.
When they do it it’s “safeguarding our interests.” when the US does it for the same reason “it is blackmail”
Will the CCP claw back some of their Bixiden/Dr. Jill/Hunter buck$?
They thought they could perpetually get away with intellectual property theft and many other corrupt trade practices with no repercussions. Not so. Good-bye China.
‘Xactly what will it get them in the end?
You go girl!
Define “fight.”
ANYTHING THEY CAN DO—_WE CAN DO BETTER
I think they need us more than we need them. In fact if American companies were smart they would be positioning themselves as the anti-commie China company.
I’ll take an economic war with China over a military war.
If China retaliates again, the US should formally recognize Taiwan.
Want to bet the Cinese are behind the negative press, lies, and demonstrations?
First, never believe a word the Chinese say.
But I do hope they fight to the end.
Bring it !!

Interesting that the Dow Futures are up over 600 pts at the moment.
I realize this could change any moment but it is rare to see the futures in the positive lately.
Somebody decided to call the panda’s bluff. Panda very angry.
Bob Ireland incisively posted earlier: Most countries are
wisely choosing to renegotiate with the US over tariffs.
So why is the market going super nova?
The key is CHINA! ! ! China maintains high tariffs against us PLUS they do currency manipulation, devaluing the yuan against the dollar. China brags about its status as a world power... but China depends heavily on plundering our country. During the Clinton Admin our deficit was a little less than $50 billion a year. Now it is about $1/2 trillion a year.
Add to that the theft of intellectual property, capturing U.S. patents, pirating U.S. business secrets; some estimate that our current trade deficit is probably about $1 trillion a year.
They have the world’s largest navy; they have perhaps 1/4 - 1/2 million troops. Those troops have to be fed and supplied. Those ships need fuel, parts and regular maintenance. Ammunition and rockets and missiles are regular ongoing expenses.
China is still heavily dependent on collecting dollars to maintain its world power status. They are putting undue pressure on all their ‘allies’ in this country to make Trump look like he is in a losing position. China raised its tariffs and fees on U.S. property. It is all out: defeat Trump’s tariffs! China has undue influence on the U.S. Senate - who has just tried to pass a bill to override Trump’s tariff agenda. They have avenues to attempt at least some stock market manipulation.
It is all out for China for one simple reason: THEY MUST PLUNDER THE U.S. ECONOMY in order to maintain their elevated world status. On the present path China would become the ONLY world power and the U.S. would be economically reduced to Guatemala, etc. - a banana republic.
Will President Trump blink, falter?
China is taking that gamble.
Stand fast, Don.
Did you notice that Fang Fang’s boyfriend/asset Eric Swalwell was leading one of the anti-Trump rallies over the weekend?
