China Hits Back with 75% Tariffs-A Major Economic Blow to the U.S.! Electric Vehicles & Trade Wars

[@sebastianbergstl4423]

the only change is how consumers get robbed - massive costincrease for no added value. as for raw materials, they will simply sell it to a company in a country that is not tariffed, and buy it to the us there. and the other way around. money has no alliegence and doesnt play politics like this. they will still add the tariffcost however, as the market is preparred to pay it.

China's restrictions on the export of rare earth metals to the U.S. is not "threatening" U.S. manufacturing. It has already created significant slowdowns and bottlenecks in many sectors, particularly in the production of highly advanced defense systems such as the F-35. At a time when the U.S. really needs to ramp up its military production to match China's amazing production capacity, America finds itself increasingly unable to produce top end weapons, because of the lack of these rare earth metals, like Garium, Germanium, and Antimone.

Congratulations China! This great news. Trump is going to learn the hard way - that this world doesn't need America

[@derrellbray]

You sure?

[@Maria-rs9sd]

@derrellbray Absolutely. China, Russia & India are the leading countries. American businesses are recruiting for Chinese, Russians & Indians. Those countries ARE NOT recruiting for Americans

[@derrellbray]

@ The U S has no problems recruiting whoever they need, and believe me China has not imposed a 75% tariff on the U S 🤣😂😂🤣

Tariffs always end up hitting consumers hardest. This trade war is a game of economic chicken, and both sides will feel the pain.

Yeah, but we’re in trade war with almost the whole world. Except Russia.

A lot of Americans don’t have much room for increases on everything.

[@robertconklin3850]

Not if your export market sells 70% of their product to the single consumer market. Not to mention if the export market is derived almost entirely of foreign companies. There's not an if and or but in this, the US has a stronger position.

@@FameForgenews no the only ones really at risk is the American 🇺🇸 people. Alienating allies and friends , trying to punch above your weight on the global stage, we are in a post-USA world 🌍 nothing you have can not be had (and likely higher quality / less expensively from the hundreds of other nations the world trades with. And your balance of trade is firmly in the dependent/vulnerable net consumers territory- which makes you vastly more at risk of losing this trade war. Trust us we’ve survived just fine with and without you for decades…read the room- the United States is irreparably and unequivocally out of time and political will / collective action / the people organising for change / to get out of the mess and failed statehood y’all been pretending hasn’t been happening for decades.

​@@USMC6976you know there are still trams, trains, and buses that go across the country, right? All major US metropolitan cities have trains and buses. Even smaller urban cities have busses. Do you not know how to use Google to find information?

@@USMC6976 Most people are traveling within their city on a daily basis, not across the country. 50% of all vehicle trips are less than 3 miles. Half the cars you see while stuck in traffic are only traveling 3 miles. 95% of all vehicle trips are 30 miles or less. This idea that America is too spread out is irrelevant and doesn't even make sense. During the industrial revolution railroads and train were crucial for transporting resources and people across the country. The USA was built on railroad, but now it's impossible?

They americans abandoned diplomacy in the 70s, probably completely in the 90s when it became the single superpower in the world.

Trump's approach to diplomacy would never result in a "win-win situation". Trump's idea of how diplomacy should end is "I-win-you-lose".

That is way China is now the dominant power in Africa. China diplomacy is "can we have a win-win situation here?' African says yes, china says how much money uou need, African replied i need several millions for this project, china signs the check and few years later thete is a bridge, road high speed train... European and usa will come in and ask you to adpot their policies before signing any checks, African leaders looked for different solutions and China was the first followed by Morocco and UAE...al investing in Africa under the win-win unmberlla

They sent manufacturing out of the country to improve their profits. Saying that nobody wants to work is simply blaming the victims of this policy. The Auto Pac between Canada and the US worked well for years but they had to fool with it to pay Mexican wages but not lower prices.

@@bayboybob those two this don't have to be mutually exclusive. Of course that happened, adding MX into Free Trade was dumb. Free Trade works between countries of equivalent standards of living.

Yes, that goal can be achived, but the US has shifted from an industrial power house to a country controlled by financial and rent seeking companies. Changing the mentality will not happen just by rising tariffs.

[@richardmichael1124]

Tariffs have no place in an era of the global supply chain - no country can insulate themselves with tariffs without dire consequences.
