China buys practically nothing from us except scrap, so this should amount to - nothing.

Is this in addition to the tariffs that China already has against American imports?

President Trump should temporarily shut down all the WalMarts in the US. That'll teach the Chicoms. Just kidding, sort of.

Good, now maybe we can start making all the expensive electronics that our wonderful Capos who run the Silicon Valley companies have “outsourced” to the Chinese. And maybe we can manage to gin up a company to make those miniature Hawaiian Drink Parasols and the "back window dolls" with the springs for necks domestically.

we import 4 times as as much from china as we export. if there was a 100% trade war, we win in a walk.

also, the last thing they want to do is devalue the massive amount of our debt that they are holding. this is probably trump’s trump card. a normal politician would be afraid to play it.

Trump should order all China container ships to turn and head back to China. COSCO

NOT to be confused with Costco

USA should respond with a ban or limit on China’s purchases of US Treasuries.

Let the games begin - we already won but some of the other nations may take a while to figure it out.

China is one nation I would love to see in a serious trade war. They are killing us. It is OK by me if all trade with China just ground to a halt. Best thing for the US economy. Manufacturers would have to quit making everything over there. Iam good with that.

Good - I don’t care if we do have a prolonged trade war with China. I won’t miss their cheap crap anyway.

Gotta break some eggs, to make an omelet.

Yes, there will be some short term pain, for some. Get over it.
