Thanks to US President Donald Trump and his “America first” policy, the global economic and trade outlook perhaps has never been so uncertain. Nowhere are these economic and policy shock waves being felt more than in China. And, Beijing is responding the same way it does every time it anticipates trouble – by pumping cash into its system. … Pumping more money into an already bloated economy may have worked in the past, but the Chinese may find out that indeed this time really is different.

Burn, Baby, Burn???
Tell them you’re impounding all of their shipments to Walmart, and civil unrest will break out two weeks later.
Trump is in a “Can’t Lose” position. He know it. China doesn’t.
Which means China will lose especially badly.
Trump understands that the Chinese economy is very vulnerable and cannot win a trade war with the US. They cannot stand the economic disruptions that could cascade to social and political instability.
China is as dumb as Saddam Hussein.
Excellent article. Thanks for posting
The senate threw them crumbs last night. As soon as China comes to the table all of that will be taken care of.
China has no idea how to play Trump and his “America first” policy
What is there to play, there is no secret, this is his job and this is who he is and what he does.
I think the great thing about Trump imposing tariffs on China albeit right now it is only a fraction of all exports to China is that it has led to a screeching halt of investment in China by American companies anticipating uncertainty and hopefully it will lead to a global halt in investment there.
Would not be surprised to see Apple starting to consider moving a piece of their huge manufacturing operation in China to India. Love to see China, America’s biggest threat, implode
The US is in a much stronger position, simply because of the trade deficit, and because there is nothing made in China we can't make ourselves or source elsewhere, and because we have the natural resources China doesn't.
Especially if Trump's deal with Juncker winds up with the EU and the US taking a coordinated position vis a vis China, Xi is screwed.
It's called winning.
“Burn, Baby, Burn??? “
That’s their plan.
However, eventually comes the debt deflation. Something their newbie economists have not likely studied.
In a country of 1.3 billion people it will be horrific. The stuff wars are made of.
“But the senate is undermining Trump at every turn. “
The entire Congress!
Especially the Republicans. You know, the people you’re going to vote for in November.
China can end this easily. Just get rid of tariffs on imported goods.
Maybe we could vote for Democrats and make it even better.
“China can end this easily. Just get rid of tariffs on imported goods.”
Not enough.
They must float their currency on the world exchanges with no peg.
“Maybe we could vote for Democrats and make it even better.”
If you ever want to see positive change in the Congress, you must burn the current Republican party to the ground.
Re-build after.
And that means you must unelect them. All of them.
A single two year cycle of no office would do it. But people FEARFULLY continue to vote for the traitors and enemies in the hope that the other traitors and enemies will not attain office.
It’s laughable.
Kiss any Trump judges goodbye.
In China, in Walmart or both lol?
In the past few years I’ve ordered some junk stuff on ebay from China and only recently about 50% of the stuff never shows up ,I get most of the money back ,but oh boy are they sore ,LOL
