Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the US does not want to "disengage" from China economically, but she says Beijing engages in massive subsidies and “is really not playing by the rules." Yellen didn't confirm if the US poised to impose new tariffs on China. She also talks about how the Biden administration is trying to bring down inflation. She speaks exclusively to Bloomberg's Annmarie Hordern in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Failure at what? There's nothing to fail. All she has to do is issue the bonds that prop up our government, and occasionally say that our trade partners should play nice. It's almost a figure head position. If Yellen wasn't doing it, then we'd just have some other monetary wonk doing it. If you don't like our fiscal policy, then vote in a new Congress.

China is expanding its capacity to serve Global South nations, prioritizing them over the protectionist United States. BYD's move to establish factories in Mexico, potentially hiring millions, emphasizes green modernization, economic growth, and advanced technology for Latin and South America. This renewable deployment cycle could help these nations to leapfrog the aging carbon-based infrastructure in the US.

Yellen: Inflation and high prices are a serious problem that is hurting Americans. Also Yellen: Let's put a 100% tariff on $10,000 Chinese EV's so that Americans only options are American EV's that cost more than $30,000. Are we going to sit here and act like our auto manufacturing industry also doesn't receive massive subsidies? Just admit these lobbyist are paying you and stop with this ridiculousness of acting like you are doing this for the benefit of Americans. The reason we're doing these tariffs is because our politicians selling us out decades ago has caught up to us, so we have to do whatever we can to stop China while we play catchup. Thank you to the politicians and business executives who sold us out to China decades ago in order to reduce costs and pad their bottom line, but the reckoning as a consequence is here. China isn't a poor nation anymore. They can, will, and continue to raise labor costs now that they have access what was once our manufacturing capacity. We no longer have a competitive advantage like we used to. They're a beast we created, in many ways.

@itsme-nt6yu Ай бұрын

It is indeed self-inflicted as you said. Higher tariffs will result in higher prices for consumers and for exporters. It will make US products even less competitive in global markets.

Chinese subsidies go to companies of all sizes, including startups who push innovation. Go figure.

Trade policy is building a medieval wall of isolation, dooming us to decades of obsolete technology. Tariffs and quotas never motivated US automakers to improve and compete. GM still needed a government bailout, Jeep was sold off to Fiat, Ford retreated from foreign markets. This is about protecting automaker shareholders and executive compensation, UAW votes, and punishing China for being neutral on Russia/Ukraine. Why not let China use the money it earned from decades of trade with the EU and USA to reinvest in subsidies that make goods for global consumers at affordable prices? US monetary policy has been a failure, printing $trillions to infinity, dooming American workers to inflation, degraded purchasing power, substandard wages and debts that can never be repaid.

American moto companies cant compete cos its lack of innovation, those greedy capitalists have not been investing enough in RND, instead they are buying yachts in europe. American labour is not as competitive as it in China , less educated, less responsible, much less hardworking, requires more benefits and life balance, look at those doping workers in boeing, its a probably a good thing for individuals but not good for the industry. yellen sure cant say our workers are lazy or out companies are ancient and lack of competitiveness cos they havethe votes, so she point her finger to china

The most subsidies industry is the so called green or clean energy. Should the government, by bureocratic mandate, determine what source of energy the entire nation needs to use now and to the future ? You need competition to extract the best, more efficient, optimal and cheap form of energy that will drive the entire nation. If the states enters a state of war, what source of energy will demand its forces and civilians ? Certainly not the so called green one. China subsides its critical and most important industries and sectors, is the green one part of it and what is the % of expenditure per year over the last 10 years?

@AndreaTuti10 Ай бұрын

So called green energy is a deeply inflationary policy because it requires so much government spend on this field. If you want to reduce inflation, this sector as well as medicare and others, are not points where you get that positive result.

Double taxation has been in place for many decades now. Revenues created by corporations, regardless of the industry, are tax. Then, the left over is delivered as salary to their employees, and at this point another individual tax. You are leaving the worker without salaries, but the government aid population continue to receive resources at inflation monetary adjusted funds.
