Biden signs Hard on China business order

[JT-Money]

Obama was harder on China than Trump who had several business relationships with the Chinese.

But, you see, folks just pay attention to rhetoric. TPP despite all its faults was a direct challenge to China and would have been more effective than the brutish way Trump went about applying tarrifs that ended up backfiring on our farmers. But unlike Trump, Obama and now Joe Biden, didn't spend a lot of time just yapping but instead doing shyt.

Once Trump removed the TPP, China came in with new agreements with all the countries that were part of it and filled the void. TPP excluded China as an isolation measure.

I trust Biden to be harder on China than Trump.

Chess, not checkers like the last guy.

The TPP was never gonna get passed by Congress. As unpopular as those huge trade deals are with US citizens. It would be career suicide for most Politicians that vote for them.

Good. fukk em. Ima keep boycotting. I dont give a F about cost. Id rather buy tech at a higher price if it means I ain't supporting a country that has literal slaves building the shyt and is on some open 1950s jim crow racism shyt.

Damn near every foreign good is produced by borderline slave labor. This has nothing to do with Human Rights.

not enough.....we need a war with China. At the very least we need to make it impossible for their citizens to acquire residency or visas over here.

 

[Tom Foolery]

America will need stronger allies. These other country's hearts pump kool-aid.

Good start but what he really needs to do is slap a 30% import tax on all American companies that outsource their production...

Its absolutely insane this hasn't been done yet...There is no logical reason not to do that, we are the number one buyer market...The federal government needs to flex that advantage and make these companies bring production back state side...None of them will be able to survive without the US market...

This greatly falls on corporate greed.

Corporations say wages but it’s all about profit margins.

This is how you know Republicans and their America first stuff is BS.

I fully expected this to be the first move after the “Wuhan flu” rhetoric started. Use it as an excuse to change supply chains and manufacturing bases.

we need a war with China.

The rare mineral wars are about to pick up

China already has a big head start. They were arming militas in Mexico and to protect its workers in the mines.

Most Chinese citizens here don't want to go back or work for China. Especially the way they are treating their own in Hong Kong.

It was killed after Trump won the election and he pretty much said during the campaign he had no plans of pushing it forward. As a result, congress followed. Bolded the important part of your post breh.

When Trump came in and he pretty much permanently deaded that shyt 3 days afterward.

Trump Takes Office, Kills TPP

On Monday, President Trump followed through on his campaign promise to immediately pull the United States out of negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The mammoth trade deal between the United States and 11 Pacific countries was the centerpiece of former President Obama’s trade policy. With the TPP, Obama attempted to create an economic pivot toward Asia while also using the ties forged by the pact as a counterweight to China’s rising economic growth and influence in Asia.

I'm not a stan for it in the form it was eventually killed in but most analystsis said, as it relates to containing China in Asia, it was going to be positive. China took advantage of us pulling out completely with nothing really to replace it under the Trump administration. All we got was a pitiful tarrif war that required us to bail out farmers with billions of dollars due to loss revenue after China retaliated.

Point is, Trump was soft and at best ineffective when it came to china despite all his bluster about them.

China and India.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The foreign policy hot takes that spawn on this board

Dumb nuccas talking war with China.

War for what? That war would never happen. Itll be a lot of strong competition in business and cybersecurity but all out war? Nah.

America does not have the infrastructure in place to manufacture shyt like that anymore. This won’t work

Nvidia’s flattery of Trump wins reversal of AI chip limits and a Huawei clampdown​

Obstacles threatening Nvidia’s AI chip dominance are being tactically removed.

Nvidia’s efforts to suck up to the Trump administration have seemingly paid off, with the US now lifting export limits on US-made AI chips and cracking down on anyone using Huawei’s emerging alternatives. The announcements come as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined President Trump in Saudi Arabia this week to solicit AI investments for US companies.

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced on Monday that it has rescinded the Artificial Intelligence Diffusion Rule, due to take effect on May 15th, that aimed to restrict how many US-made AI chips could be sent to international markets without special government approval. The DOC said that a replacement rule for protecting US AI technology will be issued “in the future,” but provided no specific details.
“These new requirements would have stifled American innovation and saddled companies with burdensome new regulatory requirements,” The DOC said in a statement. “The AI Diffusion Rule also would have undermined US diplomatic relations with dozens of countries by downgrading them to second-tier status.”

While the goal was to prevent countries already subject to chip restrictions, such as Russia and China, from accessing or building AI tech, it also placed Nvidia’s estimated 90 percent share of the AI chip market in jeopardy. Shortly after the Diffusion Rule was introduced by former President Joe Biden in January, Nvidia issued a statement calling it “misguided,” while anticipating a return to Trump’s first term policies “that strengthen American leadership, bolster our economy and preserve our competitive edge in AI and beyond.”

The DOC also warned companies that using Huawei’s Ascend AI chipset “anywhere in the world” would violate US export control agreements. Huawei’s home-grown Ascend processors are seen as China’s best answer to Nvidia’s powerful AI chips.

Nvidia’s Huang was notably one of the only US tech leaders to not attend Donald Trump’s inauguration. His absence doesn’t appear to have soured the relationship between them, however, with Huang spotted cosying up to Trump at a US-Saudi investment summit in Riyadh on Tuesday, alongside other tech leaders like Elon Musk, AMD’s Lisa Su, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Epic CEO Tim Sweeney.
The Washington Post reports that Trump was far from subtle about what the US wanted from the gathering. “As you know, we have the biggest business leaders in the world here,” he told Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “They’re going to walk away with a lot of checks for a lot of things that you’re going to provide.”
