For a culture that’s all about “growth,” Americans sure do ignore the places with the most room for it.
Maybe “growth” was always just code for screwing over more people harder.
A business cannot be deemed successful unless it’s taking advantage of useful idiots.
Why did China have tariffs on these nations to begin with?
I’m pretty sure almost all nations have tariffs on each other, except for countries in the EU and things like that
they might not be much, but they exist
The same reason the US does, an attempt at control.
Is free trade an attempt at no control? You’ll find a lot of people who disagree with you, especially on the left. I’m just saying I think your argument is a serious oversimplification.
Wait what? China?! A manipulating a market? But… how can communism truly exist with a market and billionaires. Gosh, it’s like it was never communism to begin with and the whole country got stolen by an authoritarian wearing red… like a… red maga hat. Oh crap.
China is going to fucking kick our asses. They’re thinking strategically while we’re fucking about with our thumbs in our asses.
Republicans are swine.
Good.
Yeah… China’s been busy expanding their Belt and Road initiative across the developing world for the last decade. Meanwhile the US has spent the time fighting each other every election cycle.
Yeah it’s often overlooked that one of the main struggles have been local infrastructure and production to make African countries self-sufficient. And with over a decade of Chinese infrastructure like modern roads able to handle trucks being built, and removal of these tariffs. It opens the door to expand production and long term growth.
There are of course negative aspects involved, but it’s still a potential game changer when it comes to global trade and production.
They built soft power while the orange retard did Russias bidding and ruined Americas
Russia is largely responsible for the massive amount of propaganda via culture wars that prevents the r and d working together. Yes billionaires in the US are too, but RU does the lionshare and advises the US ones
fighting each other
And wars all over the globe, including proxy wars.
Different business models.
