They think we are bluffing and they are trying to call it.

They also think we are politically un-organized as our system leads to a lack of continuity in positionsand thus making us week.

They know if they play head-to-head at the end we would win- However it’s not like that all they have to do is be able to hold their line until the next election.

Again... serious question.

Seems from an outsiders perspective that the argument is something like this: "We lost the trade war to China in the 1990s. Let's just accept defeat and bow our heads in shame for our new Chinese overlords."
It isn’t the background to the action, it’s the way it’s being done. Trump has been ultra aggressive towards ally nations, ripping up trade deals left and right, making threats and accusatory statements and imposing unilateral tariffs.

It’s just seen as him throwing his toys out of the pram. He’s saying China is stealing US intellectual property on paper. Sit around a round table first, then go nuclear if needed. Also, the trade war is largely seen as unwinnable if you’re taking on the biggest economies in the world at the same time.

whats scary about it?
Are they going to force the USA to default on the debt, which would render their us assets worthless?

America is by far more self sustaining than China
Not even close to the natural resources and economy

They own a trillion dollars...a trillion dollars isnt what it used to be. They own 7%of our debt.

What leverage do they hold exactly? Our currency is by far and away the most traded currency, ontop of being the worlds reserve currency. We run the world. We have a consumer market 3x larger than chinas 1.4 billion consumer market. We buy $500B worth of their sh!t. They barely buy $100B from us. Fuk em.

Since the 2008 financial meltdown, china has relied on stimulus on top of stimulus to the tune of $25 TRILLION IN NEW DEBT! Who is buying chinese debt? No one. Is the yuan the world's reserve currency? Nope. China on dat dere self implosion time. A trade war with the largest economy in the world is the last thing they need

You started offering $45k for moderately skilled positions with no secondary education back in 2015...and there has been zero inflationary impact on those FTE positions since then?

Sorry brah...doesnt add up.
You are making a few false assumptions there and I’m not going into full detail with you


Call it crap if you will so be it.

China had the #1 GDP in the world for thousands of years except for the last 100 years. They are already there PPP wise and they'll get there again within 10-20 years regardless of any trade wars.

Only a portion of their exports go to the US and the trade war will just drive up prices here and end up helping other countries. Not a great idea in my opinion so hope Trump knows what he's doing...

It doesn’t need to be contained. Back when America was winning, nobody was containing them or imposing tariffs. They just tried to make themselves better.

Now China has all the experts and cheap labour. The EU ran efficiently and became #2.

Make America better if you want to contain China. Don’t try to make China worse. That’s the upshot of it all. Trump is crying over spilt milk.

The reality is we have been ahead this entire time even with the “Trade deficit”.


We have been taking advantage of low labor cost items while still growing our economy.


We have always had the advantage with them even without a tarrif.

They have to face coming labor demand from their population along with competitive low labor from other Asian countries and African now as well.


Their debt crunch.

Their over extended international reach they now have to maintain to stay even.( we learned that lesson the hard way)



We have always had the upper hand on them.


With our current economic set up of de-regulation and tax policy , if we did nothing we would be way ahead -I worry the tarifff and trade war move can unnecessarily disrupt that

PPP GDP isnt even a real measure. It's how big the chinese economy could be if its prices and standard of living was comparable to the US. It isnt. Its actual GDP nominal (the real economy) is only $12 trillion. Some $8 trillion smaller than Americas. Its consumer market is only $4 trillion. Americas is $13trillion...you cant beat the US if your china.

PPP is the best measure and indicates future potential growth as it shows you what their money can buy.

"GDP comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than those using nominal GDP (see List of countries by GDP (nominal)) when assessing a nation's domestic market because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates which may distort the real differences in per capita income."

Also regardless, like I said they will catch up to nominal GDP in a decade or two probably.

That isn’t what purchasing power parity is. PPP is specifically designed to standardise and compare e.g. Big Mac Index and is the best metric.

Why can’t you slow them down by making America better and more competitive? America did this to themselves. Is an American willing to perform precision machine work for $3/hr? Do they still have a huge, expert workforce? No.

This is exactly what it is. I don’t get why some Americans think America has to be #1 now and forever even if they are doing a chitty job. This is why the RoW can’t understand why America is so angry and blaming others for their failures like they’ve been wronged. It’s US exceptionalism at it’s worst.

We need to be #1 at all cost to maintain our currency gimmick


We get to do what no other nation in the world can with our debt and currency manipulation.


We must maintain ourselves as a superpower military and top economy to do such.

That’s true and honestly the USD isn’t changing any time soon because of how invested the world is. It’s going to take decades to move over to the Yuan/Euro or whatever else comes along. We should have never gone out of precious metals.

No, I don’t. That doesn’t mean U.S. hegemony is OK or should be maintained through economic or military aggression. Work your way back up. Rebuild the workforce, reindustrialise. Incentivise people to stay without threatening to tariff the bejeezus out of them. That’s how America becomes great again. Not by threatening everyone and their mother that if they leave they’re getting f*cked.

No, I don’t. That doesn’t mean U.S. hegemony is OK or should be maintained through economic or military aggression. Work your way back up. Rebuild the workforce, reindustrialise. Incentivise people to stay without threatening to tariff the bejeezus out of them. That’s how America becomes great again. Not by threatening everyone and their mother that if they leave they’re getting f*cked.

So your solution is the status quo? Because that's what you just said... a bunch of buzzwords and catch phrases used by politicians. Sure, words sound good but nothing changes and China continues to take advantage of us.

Finally, we get some action and the useful idiots lose their minds.

PS... that's what tax cuts and deregulation were for. And yet all we hear from liberals daily is its unfair tax cuts for the rich, yadda yadda yadda. Ironically, these are the same people ridiculing the tariffs.

With tax cuts/deregulation AND tariffs we're coming at this from both angles.
