What if Trump breaks economic ties to China?

[Bleipriester]

So the orange Emperor threatens China to break the economic ties to the country. Let´s lookup the cards they hold.

China:
- Actually the place stuff is made
- Largest forex reserves
- Major US loaner
- Strong military

USA:
- A large crowd of well funded customers
- A megalomaniacal madman with the finger on the red button
- Mobile, high effective, fleet with limited war capacity

Under the assumption that the USA is generally hostile towards every country, it is not a smart idea to break ties with North Korea. The economic ties are minimal anyway and North Korea has more business with South Korea. A ban would hit South Korea more while China would lose a strong ally that works as natural stronghold in case China and the USA go to war.

However, the scenarios for Trump´s America are not bright.

If Trump were to break economic ties to China, that would pretty much be committing economic suicide.

Besides..................doesn't he realize that China is where all the Iphones for Americans are made?

"What if Trump breaks economic ties to China?"

It would be further confirmation of the fact Trump is infit to be president.

Both Don and Ivanka will have to set up sweat shops elsewhere.

Democrats will stop going to Walmart

This would be a major blow to China but China has also many other trade partners. They also keep the US companies´ know how and have own factories on the very same compounds.
The choices are limited to America, as you can read.

No kidding, what, american "job creators" are going to pay americans what it costs to live here for output? Nope. Half the nation now makes less than $30K per year and the system still isn't finished with them/us.

Many partners, but we're the largest.

Yes, I noticed the weakness in your poll.

Like I always say, the only way to be a partisanshithead is to be ignorant of how your power structure actually works. You mean the "other" guys do it too [shudder]?

 

[ABikerSailor]

If Trump breaks economic ties with China like he has threatened, that "recovery" that Trump supporters like to say Trump is enjoying will quickly evaporate.

But, like we've seen from before with Trump threatening N.Korea with a "carrier armada" and telling them that if they shot missiles over any of our allies (Japan), they would be met with severe action.

Trump hasn't done anything to N. Korea yet, so why should China worry? Trump is like a chihuahua, all bark and no bite.

China isn't as dependent on the US economically as the US is on China.

Their exports to us, about $463 billion last year, are about 4% of their GDP.
Our exports to China, about $116 billion last year, are about 0.63% of our GDP.

Are you also taking into consideration the amount of money that we currently owe China?

 

[Bleipriester]

Many partners, but we're the largest.

But you are compensable, foremost by Chinas own market. China can not renounce on Germany and Japan, the both countries that gain a surplus in the trade with China. But this dependency will not last for very long anymore, too.

This is not a weakness. Other possible effects would go beyond the scope of the poll. The domestic effects, however, would be that grave, that the development outside the US would not be of any interest, anyway.

And then there's this:

That´s not the point. The point is that you are dependent on that $463 billion import. That´s all the stuff that is used to be domestically produced, while China is busy importing production means.

They're free to take dollars back to China.
Or use them to buy stuff and take it back to China.

No one else is willing or able to support massive 2 or 3 hundred billion dollar a year trade deficits that China needs.


Without US playing their bitch, they are fucked.
