    I'd like to say "cunning plan Baldrick!" but that would be offensive to poor Baldrick.

    So Trump is doing the walk. Walking things back! 

    He's making history for all the wrong reasons. 
    He never makes mistakes:
    He is turning simply around and then in his mind he is walking ahead again  ;-)

  • China calls Trump's trade war a joke, jumps tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%

    Time to push China tariffs to 225%. 

    China lives and breathes the US dollar. 

    The US is addicted to Chinese imports. 

    But America can just as easily wait out some production relocation or shift habits. 

    China won’t be recovering thst money. 

    Apple is already reallocating the weight of production. It will take a bit. But it will be done. It’s just too bad that there aren’t more truly free nations to move it to. 

    The only way the USA wins this is to keep its foot in the gas and not give in to bullies. We’ve been pushed around and robbed long enough. As O’Leary said:enough is enough.” Time to get back. 

    It is funny seeing how Trump and his supporters work towards USA's destruction
    its sad seeing how detractors and their ilk will go so far as to defend unfair trade practices and dictatorships in order to pile on against ideas they don’t like. 
    Just think: 1) Your iPhone is made in US with rare metals and parts from China with 225% of tariffs of yours. 2) The wage per hour for an American worker is 5 to10 times higher then a China's worker. How much you think will be then the price of your iPhone? I am sure, there are another ways to bring iPhone production back in the USA

    The US needs stuff from China more than China needs ANYTHING from the US.
    I expect there may be exemptions for Amazon, Apple and Walmart. But the hundreds of thousands of small stores, local stores, regional stores, that are the heart of the economy will be massacred. 

    As someone pointed out yesterday, this whole scrap is above all making China look like the reliable, stable, rational, trustworthy partner. That is going to be the most harmful thing coming out of this for the US.
    China needs money from the US to run their economy.  The US is by far their biggest customer whereas we are mostly consumers of their products - many of them not essential for daily life.  Yes, some small businesses rely on their cheap Chinese products but they will have to adapt in the short term - you don’t fold because some segments get hurt.  If the US stops buying the Chinese goods then China must sell them elsewhere, or shutter factories, which floods the market and crashes their prices.  Forgotten in all this is the massive theft by China on IP which was being reversed by the first Trump administration and then was unexplainable dropped by the Biden administration.  This needs to be corrected as well and this requires the Chinese govt to enforce.  
    Your thinking is right but it was actually true 5 a 10 years ago. The last years China did everything possible to diminish its dependence on America. They found new markets, they are trying to develop their own chips, to have their own standards different than America’s and in this way to be independent from US. And this is because they knew it will come crisis like this.
    Yes, I agree it should be done something to bring back production in America, but in opposite to China, there is no strategy on the side of America. And that creates chaos and uncertainty. It is to simplistic to belief that one person only, can solve the problems in America and the world with one signature only on an Executive Order. Such a man it is not born yet. 
    To find the right solution we need to bring the best independent brains in the nation together.
