Apparently they don’t know how a trade war works.
Bullpucky. They’d be in total chaos six hours after we told them “you’ve just made your last shipment to Walmart”.
Can’t argue with that one. Everybody loses in a trade war. Who wins when everybody’s shooting themselves in the foot?
I guess “The art of the deal” hasn’t been released in Chinese.
MAGA might have to MCPA.... so solly.
There are many other places (including best of all, USA!!!) where our companies can locate factories. China would collapse without their hundreds of billions of dollars in sales to USA annually. We never should have allowed the PRC to suck in so many of our companies over the past 25 years. Idiotic policies by Democraps and RINOs.
You need our dollars more than we need your dog toys.
Both the US and China are on such thin ice economically, a trade war could sink either or both.
In a trade war everyone loses. Living standards go down. Economy tanks. Jobs tank.
LOLOLOLOL
There cannot be a trade war with China. They already put 500-600% (not a typo) tariffs on almost all our goods (not sure about cars). They even put those tariffs on US branded products that are made in China! So you if want to buy Nikes right outside the factory they cost far more than they do in NYC.
If we put a 100% tariff on Chinese imports they could do what - raise theirs to 1000%? There would be no real effect.
We are getting raped by the Chinese - and they don’t even use Vaseline.
Trump is completely right on this issue.
So, China thinks the Seller will win against a Buyer...in a Buyer’s market?

Sort of like we have been living for the past 8 years
/s
Let’s not try to replicate the performance of the past 8 years.
How would we survive without all that cheap junk in Wal-Mart?
“You charge us a 25% tariff, we will charge you only 24.9% tariff. “
“And, oh, we are wiping out our debt to you.”
That's a big Touché....
The outcome would be that we’d be paying a little more for consumer items we buy every day, and they’d have rampaging riots with Communist Party officials swinging from lampposts.
Hard to see much of a downside here.

I figures a bottom dweller globalist like you couldn’t wait to kowtow to China.
