Tariffs a Good Idea. Everything I buy now is made in China.!!$?$

[g5000]

With their forced peoples slave labor pool, President Trump should impose a 250 % Tariff on all Chinese goods imported from China. Everything I buy now, is made in China.!!??!! The United States would make Trillions of dollars a year, and solve the huge budget deficeit, and trade imbalance in a few months.!!??!!,

Too bad for you Trump just blinked.

Are the Chinese charging too much?

 

[egp320i]

250% is way too much, just match what they charge the US for our goods and call it a day, zero sum but they will make out 100-1 on overall profit, the reason we have a huge trade difference with them

 

[g5000]

Um...no.

You have ZERO understanding of trade and economics and math.

art of the deal maybe? throw in some misdirection and see who caves first? have you never been to a flee market and bargained for anything before?

Trump's tariffs require a degree of sacrifice from the American people. It's similar to the kid who puts himself through college with hard work and sacrifice. It's called delayed gratification. People who wanted egg prices to go down on Jan 21 will never get that concept. We all need to get tough and sacrifice if we want a future for our country.

WTF?
China isn't budging.
Trump claims he is in talks with china.
Trump's treasury secretary and China says he is not.

Trump isn't even AT the flea market.
But claims he is.

Would it?

China is moving away from making cheap stuff and moving towards making better stuff.

Yes, it'd set China back a bit, but might also make its better products come quicker.

China has a huge population. It doesn't need the US, it wants the US's money for now, but doesn't NEED it.

Trump is moving too sharply decrease tariffs on China after realizing it was a disaster for the USA.

Trump never met a microphone or camera he didn't love.

Trump can't make up his mind about why he's doing tariffs​

What would a US-China trade war do to the world economy?

After the US president hit China with tariffs of over 100%, Beijing retaliates with higher taxes on American imports.

www.bbc.com

"Together those trade barriers helped to bring the goods the US imported from China down from a 21% share of America's total imports in 2016 to 13% last year."

If you look at the chart, you'll see that China went above $500 billion of exports to the US, but that dropped in what looks like 2023 to somewhere over $400 billion.

Yes, that's a lot of money.

China Exports 1960-2025 | MacroTrends

Exports of goods and services represent the value of all goods and other market services provided to the rest of the world. They include the value of merchandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, and other services, such as communication, construction, financial...

www.macrotrends.net

"China exports for 2022 were 3.718 trillion US dollars"
But China is exporting 7 times this much. Yes, it'd be a massive hit to lose 1/7th of your exports, but it wouldn't be a killer.

"Yet analysts point out that some Chinese goods exports to the US have been re-routed through south-east Asian countries."

"
For example, the Trump administration imposed 30% tariffs on Chinese imported solar panels in 2018.

But the US Commerce Department presented evidence in 2023 that Chinese solar panel manufacturers had shifted their assembly operations to states such as Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and then sent the finished products to the US from those countries, effectively evading the tariffs."

There are ways around this. All they need to do is get one friendly country nearby, say Vietnam, Malaysia or whoever to do some kind of deal with Trump, then route everything through that country with "finished products", and wham, you don't really have that much of a problem. Yes, costs more, but costs a lot less than the tariffs.

Here’s the solution. Stop buying stuff made in China. You can do this. Read the labels and buy products made somewhere else.

Republicans are such morons.

With TV, smart phones, and computers you have choices. Use them.

Samsung and LG make decent TVs, and they also make cell phones. HP computers are made in China, but also the US and India.

I buy Korean when I can for those products. My daughter works for a company that is a subsidiary of LG in a joint venture with GM to build batteries here in TN. Our largest civilian employer is Hankook Tires.
