CHINA pulls up with 25% tarriffs on American Goods...

[chineebai]

basically trump is being a snake, ask for things then in the meetings ask for completely different things, there's no deal to begin with so when Trump says china is reneging, it's completely untrue. Trade is good for everyone, basically the american taxpayers are footing the bill. Not to mention a lot of these tariffs are on american owned companies that have factories in china, it's really dumb.

At this point, trump is doing it for his own ego or stupidity or whatever it is. So far it's made 0 sense. China also will simply take the pain and wait till the next administration, they've been around for thousands of years.

This is just the start of it. They're going to do something extra about this Iran situation too. Most Asian countries need Iran's cheap oil more than they give a fukk about American sanctions

Iran, Venezuela. It's all about slowing down China. The American gov already got the ME by the balls.

The trade war is just a mean, and it's true that the entire US establishment did not agree with that mean. However, the idea that China needs to be stopped at this point is shared by the entire establishment. There is a reason why Trump is way more attacked for the Russia thing than his agressive behavior on China.

And it doesn't matter who's in charge, China is not Japan : slowing them down, if it's still possible, will come with a cost.

TPP was a means of doing that logically. Trade wars are regressive retard policies that no establishment officials supported. This was settled well over 100 years ago...trade wars don't work. Especially not against an autharitarian regime.

China has already severely hurt our agricultural sector. They're about to bury it now that Trump is pledging 300b in additional tariffs. They're gonna fukk around and tank the economy.

Disclaimer: I work for a company that buys a lot of products from China. We've already been hit with the tarriff's from the first round and we're looking at increases now. We worked with our manufacturer to try to split as much of the cost as we could (so if we take a 3% hit, they take a 2% hit) but that only helps a little the first time. There won't be another renegotiation. Because our business works mainly off contracted products/prices, we cannot go back to the table and renegotiate our selling prices, so we end up taking a hit on our margins. Our company is now less profi

........... start investing in Mexico for manufacturing the same shyt China is making. They are right over the border and they can work just as hard as the Chinese. Steal the Chinese manufacturing methods and implement them in Mexico..

The problem that we're faced with however when it comes to manufacturing in an alternate country is that China has spent decades becoming a high-tech manufacturing country and is a world leading manufacturer in a multitude of industries.. You won't be able to just switch to a new vendor without potentially having a number of quality/delivery/etc. Bringing production to the US is even more risk because the factories required don't even exist here in many cases.


Yeah, trade wars are easy to win, that's why we're having to subsidize the farming industry. Again.

Understood, but like you said, it took China a bit of time to get to where they are. Same would be the case for Mexico. I’d continue to use China until my supply line in MX is up. We still have enough manufacturing knowledge to implement advanced methods in Mexico for sure. The convenience of them being right next door and makes solving manufacturing issues and shipping very cost effective.

China has already won in car manufacturing , everything is made in china . The Brazilians are selling them cheap soybean , milk fruits like orange juice . Cheeto has no bargaining to win this trade war . Just imagine if the world adapts 5g from the chinese . Maybe china might just industrialize africa & develop an agro business there

I completely understand what you're saying, and on the surface, it makes sense. But having dealt with manufacturers for a long time, I know from experience that bringing on a new factory is challenging at best. Building a completely new facility from the ground up is one thing, learning how to manufacture __widgets__, especially those complex ones (phones/games/anything) is another ball game. It takes time to perfect the process and they're decades further ahead. This is why a global economy is so important (to the US especially).

The next iPhone is about to cost $2000

 

[---]

You can buy appliances that are made here, but you’re gonna pay out the ass. That’s because if the quote below:



These poor crackers are always shouting “bring manufacturing jobs back to the USA” but they’re too stupid to realize that that $1000 iPhone is gonna be $2000 due to unions and forced living wages. Like dude said above, US manufacturing is over. If it were me? I’d start investing in Mexico for manufacturing the same shyt China is making. They are right over the border and they can work just as hard as the Chinese. Steal the Chinese manufacturing methods and implement them in Mexico.

That's what the Chinese did to Mexico. I am from Canada. After companies in Canada moved to Mexico because of Nafta, in the 1990s. Along came China and just crushed all that shyt. Just cheaper to produce and more efficiently educated workforce. It's the endgame for America in this trade war. They can't win!

Dumbass goal post switching now...I bought this years ago and with a 25% surcharge I wouldn’t have.

You clowns should be happy about this because if their cheap bullshyt is getting upcharged then it creates a bigger market for shyt made domestically and in the homeland...

Get the Asian dikk out your mouth fakkit

I'm sure someone else has tried to explain this to you, but the US does not make any electronics any more.
and the few things that are assembled here are built with chinese or korean components.

Not a TV, Phone, Computer, Car, Truck, Plane, Fuse, Switch is bing built without chinese components.

It'd take years to even start that type of manufacturing here again, see what happened with Foxconn in Wisconsin
