Crazy! Trump fires back at Beijing with threat of new tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods!

So you understand Indian double talk, junkyard dogs are deeply entranched and highly entertaining in this forum.


Singaporeans are lucky, Malaysia is so cheap. Our entire west coast are now insanely expensive (Similar to Singapore) + we pay exorbitant high annual property taxes for upkeep.

Actually i find the chinese most entertaining with their obvious propaganda posts.
And the pakistanis too live up to their reputation.
Indians are a distant 3rd , with their counter arguments in a hostile environment.8
The vietnamese get a honourable mention for successfully baiting the chinese.

CNese have short vision due to low IQ, so they will be in chaos soon (2023)cos they can not defeat US like VN. Same fate for EU now when US also slap sanction to EU. Both EU-CN will have same fate wt Nazi-JP in WW2.

VN is the only one can beat US. (for ex: no one else in the world can destroy US old carrier protected 24/24 just by 2 Vietcong frogmen)

This has nothing to do with fair trade. Looks more and more like US hardliners going for broke to break China. Even if it does not benefit US. To stop China rise before China takes over the world.

It's NOT about unfair trade.

I have to disagree. Though china is emerging as a military power , i doubt US has a policy to break up china, except to maintain its outposts in taiwan and japan.
Trump is all about the money , trade deficit and ego.
If you take a deep breath and think , trump has targeted all american allies incl canada, uk, etc.
The surplusses that china is maintaining with every country will bring a 'great depression' kind of period in the world economy. If the rest of the world incl usa lose their spending powers, china which is a export oriented economy faces a inevitable slowdown as it loses its customers.
China has to invest massively in other economies and forget its only china policy. And i dont mean investing in short term industries like mining , use and throw. It has to be sustainable , so that their customers also retain their spending capacity.

Chinese exports to the US? nearly half of them or half of the profits were from or to US companies, EU,SK,Japan and Taiwan.

wait and see...

China as the largest trading nation on the earth will impose a currency tax on US dollars, whoever wants to trade with China but using US dollars will pay the tax.

China could sold out 100-200B US bonds in one month just for fun.

China holds too many quality cards in hand !

Tax on USD not practical, USD still defacto reserve currency for trade, it's like self mutilation. China will do the opposite most likely and counter intuitive to laymen, buy more USD to strengthen bad commercial loan if a full trade war breaks out. Rmb is not ready as global trade currency, and USD will be used to stabilize domestic financing, and devalue rmb to capture more global trade. China would not dump US treasuries, that's a financial wmd. First, it could collapse global trade and trigger all out military conflict. China cannot win this. Second, if contained, dumping us treasuries allows USD to devaluate, which greatly improves US exports and global competitiveness.

Trade war benefit nobody. History have plenty of lessons. China actually do not intend to have big surplus. China service and consumer growth the past few years have been very robust. China is slowing moving away from being an exporting country. China is willing to negotiated but US side is not negotiating. They are demanding this and that. That shows they are not sincere.
The problem is not Trump the businessman. The problem is if he can control the hardliners. The hardliners have a different agenda. Its about maintaining US hegemony.

The war mongers are rearing their heads. They want to bomb Syria next and roll back Assad/Iran/Russia victories. They will sabotage the Korea peace talks. They are already very upset that President Moon is cosy cosy with Kim a dictator. Trump shaking hands with Kim is a disaster to them. Its about democracy versus a dictator. China "a dictator" a one party state has found a system of government that works very well and they are rising. China is winning. China are focusing on the future technology (China 2025) while Trump is fighting to preserve the old technology.
Those war mongers thinks that if they do not stop China now, US will be pushed to a second place soon.

That is my analysis of the whole "Trade War".

No matter what, Made n China 2025 will move on.

Having seen recent developments, China has become even more resolute to speed up the program.

So, trade war threats will not achieve their strategic end even though they may upset certain aspects of economic growth.

The big game is Made in China 2025. The trouble for the US is, China knows the real incentive behind trade bullying. It is not about China's trade surplus. It is China's qualitative growth.

China is too smart to bite the bait. The US, then, can whine and whim. But, it cannot take China hostage. China is no Japan. Even SP12 is slapping back the US these days.

Made n China 2025 will move on ....?? but who support XI to keep moving on when we see at least 1 billion CNese hate him when he gave him and his family the right to rule CN for good.

Why not TW will rule CN in 2025 when 1 billion angry CNese seek help from TW-US to take down Xi's family ?? How can a lonely Xi's family can keep ruling 1 billion haters till 2025. See what happen in Lybia when ppl dislike Gaddafi's family ??
