Largely Messaging Right Now: Ashton on New China Tariffs

Anna Ashton, Former Department of Defense Intelligence Officer & Founder of Ashton Analytics, discusses President Biden raising tariffs on Chinese imports and states this is largely messaging from the Biden Administration. She also shares her insight on whether or not these new tariffs will backfire as some of these Chinese imports are what the United States needs to transition to a green climate agenda. Anna speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on Bloomberg's "Balance of Power."

Wow, how dare China manufacture more than they could consume and sell it on the global market? Only we can do that

[@TheoricaPlanetarum]

U.S. universities teach that expert-led GDP growth is superior to import substitute industries! So why the reverse policy? U.S. universities also teach free trade, free markets, and free enterprise, but the U.S. government is doing the reverse. Arbitrary behavior and double-talk are the real games the U.S. government plays.

[@zolamadda5980]

It's almost like the usa is TRYING to fail faster. 😂

[@johndodson8464]

Oh, to hell with green rules.

[@pureland2703]

china will just ignore these silly tariffs.

[@MetaView7]

Even with a 100% tariff, they can still sell their cars at 50% of an American equivalent.

[@trails3597]

The big three are virtually out of China right now.

[@hermesliteratus882]

It's not surprising at all given the quality of their products.

[@nicolamastascusa8173]

Wow, the world's largest exporter and manufacturing powerhouse is .... *checks notes* ... producing products for export!

[@maynotbe]

Biden, Yellen & Bliken should go take some long naps together and leave the business deals to professionals

[@bijanabadi3993]

The reality is that tariffs is always a type tax that the consumer has to pay.

[@vicolew]

anyone complain when Macdonalds doubling down on burgers worldwide and Starbucks doubling down on the latte... OH DANG !!!!

[@normanchan2001]

So much for Tesla. Give you one guess who China is going to target in China. I’m placing Tesla stock as “sell”!

[@ashk4155]

I doubt China will target Tesla they don’t need to. Nios gunna put Tesla in the ground with Onvo release tomorrow

[@MetaView7]

Tesla is doing well in China. FSD has just been approved with their Baidu satellite system.

[@LL-rm8xt]

US talks absolute BS, so according to Tai, ANYTHING sold outside a country can be considered OVERCAPCITY i.e. selling beyond what you need in your own country... That includes ANY US subsides Agriculture + Any US subsided Chips that are it is heavily subsidised and mostly exported...

[@soha7271]

They won’t retaliate but just dumped your bonds

[@B-gh7md]

Regardless the tariffs companies will still manufacture in China and just past those cost to the consumer. From my personal experience manufacturing here vs China there is no comparison. USA manufactures cut so many corners and make so many mistakes and are still way too expensive unless it’s a high end industry like aerospace.

[@Bebraveonce]

Token tariffs Just to annoy China And it’s worked

[@Utube1024]

Tariff is paid by the consumers but its ok american are rich anyway

[@nandikaa471]

Hahahaha, that is the biggest JOKE of the year. 😂😂😂

[@MetaView7]

Even with a 100% tariff, they will still be 50% less expensive than an American equivalent.

[@ScotchOnyx]

China is not emptying their unsold EV to USA because they were struggling to sell domestically. They strategically reserved them trying to repeat what the Japanese did to America back in the 1900s. The question now is...Which country is next on China's list.

[@johndodson8464]

Good observation.

[@mariajiao4855]

This is a trump deal lol

TRUMP IS OUR GUY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

VOTE NOW FOR TRUMP

[@lastChang]

China's 🇨🇳 has a faulty economic model, which is unsustainable. The Chinese goods production system is *not driven by market behavior* but by Chinese government-directed investment.

[@theinfralink6598]

Not sustainable? Not market behavior? So far it has worked wonders. Have you been to China btw? Mostly likely not because if you have you would not have made such dumb comments.

[@defaultname354]

He is an Indian bot. So offcourse he hasn't been there. Probably can't afford the close flight next door.

[@MetaView7]

6:10 and she said China imposed tariffs on US agricultural products and backfired. Which planet does she live on? China is ditching US and going with Brazil and South Africa. The US farmers are going bankrupt !
