Not "bullshit"....Got it. NO trade deal; just bullshit...
China has purchased the US Left with token payments from the Billions they have racked in while raping the American WorkerThe trade war between us and China basically boils down to the theft of Intellectual Property. China is dragging it's feet, waiting to see how our elections go and how Trump's standing has either strengthened or declined before they make a move one way or another. Clearly, they ain't going to give up anything without a fight, and even then I think there's some doubt they'll live up to whatever is agreed upon if we don't hold their feet to the fire. And make no mistake, it's a big deal. See what CNN has to say about it:
The United States has long said that intellectual property theft has cost the US economy billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of jobs.
So just how much damage has it done?
The United States Trade Representative, which led the seven-month investigation into China's intellectual property theft and made recommendations to the Trump administration, found that "Chinese theft of American IP currently costs between $225 billion and $600 billion annually."
Those numbers are in line with a 2017 report from the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property.
Chinese officials have said that protecting foreign companies' intellectual property rights is important to China.
But many of its companies appear to have missed that memo.

"China has sought to acquire US technology by any means, licit or illicit," James Andrew Lewis, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, wrote in a blog post Thursday.
"Espionage and theft were part of this, but so were forced technology transfers or mandatory joint ventures as a condition for doing business in China," he wrote.
One of the most recent high profile examples of theft of US intellectual property happened earlier this year. In January, a Beijing-based wind turbine company was found guilty in the US of stealing trade secrets, using secretly downloaded source code stolen from a Massachusetts company.
Forced technology transfer is also a growing concern for US companies, especially tech firms.
To get an idea of how much forced technology transfer costs the US, some experts say to look at the costs associated with the theft of trade secrets. Total theft of US trade secrets accounts for anywhere from $180 billion to $540 billion per year, according to the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property -- as "the world's principal IP infringer," China accounts for the most of that theft.
How much has the US lost from China's intellectual property theft?
We can't just ask nicely and hope they'll see things our way. I haven't heard of any other ideas to get them to quite stealing and cheating us.
The trade deficit with China reached a new high despite the tariffs. It seems like the only ones hurt by the tariffs are Americans.
Ford and GM have moved their electric car manufacturing to China and Harley Davidson is building it`s motorcycles in England and France. Our soybean farmers are collecting welfare.

COLLUSION: Harvard’s Chemistry Chair Charged on Alleged Undisclosed Ties to China: Charles Lieber allegedly lied to Defense Department, National Institutes of Health about Chinese government funding.
“The chair of Harvard University’s chemistry department was arrested Tuesday on charges of allegedly lying to the U.S. about millions in Chinese funding he has received, in an escalation of U.S. efforts to counter what officials describe as Beijing’s aggressive recruitment at U.S. universities.
In a separate case also unsealed Tuesday, a researcher at Boston University was also charged with failing to disclose her affiliation with China’s People’s Liberation Army while working at the university. . . . Prosecutors have brought a series of cases in recent months alleging that researchers at U.S. universities and labs didn’t disclose funding they were receiving from such programs, or tried to steal information to take to China.”
Tip of the iceberg, I suspect. And I wonder if this subject wouldn’t benefit from Congressional hearings?
I used the purchase of a battery. Here is the whole story.
I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and needed a battery. I was halfway out of a parking space. I am 69 years old. I drive a Camper Special Pickup. Even though it doesn't have a camper on it, it's still 500 to 1000 lbs heavier than the same pickup without the camper special rating. It was late in the evening at about 8:30. It was also close to the end of the pay month and I was short on funds.
Autozone was within walking distance. Their cheapest batter was nearly 100 bucks. I bought it and walked back with it and installed it. It got me home. Over the next few days, I started having starting problems. When I take the vehicle back to them, everything checks good. The Alternator, Starter, Voltage Regulator and Battery all show good (within norms). I take it to a mechanic and spend 145 bucks to be told the same thing. The Battery was made in China. Due to the 50% tariff rate, the battery was over priced. Autozone didn't carry US made batteries. And this one only carried a 3 month warrentee. And since it passes all tests within the "Norms" I can't take it back and get my money back. I have been a motorhead and an Aircraft Specialist all my life and know that some things are just not compatible in every application. So I just suck in that 100 bucks as a lesson learned.
Finally, I went and got the battery I wanted in the first place. I went to a specialty battery shop and purchased US Made battery for only 10 bucks more with 200 amps more cold starting and a 30 month warrentee. This cured the starting problem completely.
The Chinese Junk was inflated due to the 50% tariff while the US Battery remained the same making them nearly the same price. But when you are in a situation where all that is available is the chinese junk, you buy the chinese junk. China didn't pay that 50% tariff, I did. Like I said, the US made Battery is of superior quality and didn't go down or up in price due to the Tariff on Chinese Junk. It stayed the same. But on somethings, we have no choice but to buy chinese automotive goods and the CONSUMER pays that 50% tariff.
It's a Tax. Plain and simple.

I have been doing business with AutoZone for a long time. One thing I have not noticed at all is a sharp rise in the price of their batteries. So either you been paying too much for the past 20 years are you just been lucky enough not to have what type of hardware mismatch you just experienced.
And there was absolutely no price spike during the past 3 years. Their prices have pretty much kept pace with inflation. When you buy an american-made good you're paying for the EPA, you're paying for OSHA, your paying for a hundred years worth of labor laws. American companies have had to make those payments without any options whilst competing against polluters, slave labor Masters, and people who ignore safe working conditions. Now they too I having to pay on to support those agencies so they make them on the on the other end but decreasing the quality of the goods.
Lesson to learn here. When the playing field is level... American goods are far more quality than Chinese crap. I'll take it one step further.... I use the hell Iout of my battery powered hand tools. If I want a really good to lie by a DeWalt even though it's made in China. But if I want an exceptional tool I buy
Metabo made in Germany. Some of the tools actually come with a 20-year guarantee. Does it cost more hell yes it does..... But if you want quality Power and consistency the extra money means nothing to you.

U.S. imports hit all-time high, trade deficit with China sets new record despite tariffs
That's a complete lie and you are either a
Numskull ( moniker knida sounds it btw) or just a lame ass propagandist. The real deficit has tanked.....in response to that China has dropped the value of its monetary unit up to 20% since the opening of the trade war creating a false number for the examiners to publish. American made products have increased in demand and the volume of retail is beginning to show. China is in effect slicing off a piece of its own leg one slice at a time and throwing it into the meat grinder in order to keep the numbers looking like the deficit is increasing. Trump has played this game perfectly. Like I said you're either an uninformed moron or hopelessly deranged political partisan but you are definitely one of China's best assets.
You love the suicide labor conditions and black coal smoke pouring out in behalf of cheap shit. You don't want them to be held accountable by anyone for ignoring the health and welfare of their own slave laborers. You're a total piece of shit. Pay a little more for something made here you dickless coward!
Good night idiot....
Landslide 2020 and maybe 24!

China is and has been by far the biggest meddler in our elections tenfold beyond what Russia ever dreamed of doing. I'm sure that most of the democratic house is on the payroll of the Chinese government through one shell corporation or another and probably a number of GOP politicians too.
