China warned it is ready for any “type of war” with the US in an alarming escalation as President Trump’s tariffs went into effect.

Ha! Every nation erects barriers to protect their domestic entities. Except the US. These trade deals arranged by the State department screw us over every time. State is actually an enemy entity.

It isn’t just that. Profits cannot leave the country, they are not subject to the same financial oversights most of the developed world is subject to, and you cannot (with rare exceptions) open plants in Communist China without signing away your Intellectual Property to them.
We should not be doing business with them.

He knows of what he speaks.
Bring it on, CCP.
We will crush you to powder.
Sod off, China. The free ride is over.
We are entirely to blame. If the US had done its job right, China would never have been able to import dangerous drugs into America in the first place.
British Vancouver is already Communist Red Chinese territory, and there is nothing the “United Kingdom” can do, other than to point fingers and support DEI talking heads.
IMHO
Sound like N. Korea.
Chicoms are scared.
