Red and blue states agree: Biden's tariffs on Chinese cranes are a bad idea, and perhaps illegal

In an election-year move, the Biden Administration increased tariffs on a variety of Chinese manufactured products. While the tariffs on China's electric cars, lithium batteries, and semiconductors received a lot of media coverage, the new 25% tariff on Chinese-built ship-to-shore cranes did not.
But port officials from several states have filed formal complaints against the tariffs. They insist that they will drive up costs, and push container ships to friendlier ports in Mexico or Canada. Further, the tariffs are intended to protect US manufacturers of cranes, which don't even exist.
They also introduce a legal aspect to the problem. The Port of Long Beach points out that the Biden Administration does not have the legal authority to introduce new tariffs without full public hearings. The Trade Act of 1974, and Section 301 of that Act, is clear on how and when tariffs may be raised or lowered, and the Commerce Department and the US Trade Representative lack the legal authority to put tariffs on Chinese cranes without full public review.

[@DragonYang01]

Building cranes are high-tech products and it takes a bigger structure to make them. In addition, shipping such a big structure is no joke. The first time a Chinese crane arrived at Oakland port, it made a big news because the crane was so big that the ship could pass Golden Gate bridge only at the low tide period. There was only a few feet clearance. American might think a tariff might help the alternative (such as made in Japan). But, the economic scale of Chinese cranes will dictate the cost of making. Further, Chinese will further improve their products such as speed, accuracy, automation, etc, so that, even with tariff, Chinese new cranes might be more economical. I know the China has developed very efficient port management software which drastically improves the efficiency of ports.

[@gunsumwong3948]

A ship to shore crane is just a lump of steel on wheels with some electrical motors, heavy duty hooks and steel cables. China manages to make it cheap by mass production and optimization with modern and automated fabrication facilities. To make it efficient smart technologies are introduced especially in the information provided to the crane operator. The software needs to be fixed if there is a bug and improvement can be introduced by updating the software. It is the manufacturer's controlling the updates that the US doesn't like because the US has used it to spy on others in computer and smart phone operating systems. US sanction is just a double standard to be used whenever it suits the politicians. Take rare earth for examples for years US has been buying from China just as China handing some $400 billion to buy chips from the US. Once the US bans chips to China the Chinese reciprocates with banning the rare earth. When the US has to put tariff on a crane that is used to lift and drop containers, a syringe used in vaccination or a pair of surgical glove used by a doctor there is something seriously wrong with that country. One thing is certain that country is getting poorer and the government is intentionally increasing the cost of living for its citizens. I keep a record of gantry cranes as in Apr 2024 web page kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vdh4qOoLakrrs it was reported Cost ratio US/Chinese gantry crane for 85 tonnes is 100/17 = 5.88 times. The video suggests $15 million per crane perhaps at a lower lifting capacity so the US/Chinese crane cost ratio of 5.88 times is credible. The last video was from Biden requiring every Chinese crane to be replaced.

[@douginorlando6260]

5.8 times cost ratio! That’s an overwhelming advantage.

[@CycOp]

The cranes in the US is nowhere advanced compared to the ones used in China already. The cranes in port of Shanghai is already automated, complete with unmanned transport trucks. US will never adapt this technology to protect the union workers at US ports (ie Longshoreman).

[@gunsumwong3948]

@@CycOp I am aware of the US ports have a union problem preventing the facilities to be modernised to reduce labour. One Shanghai port handles more containers than the entire fleet of American ports too. Yet the US like to show it is still the leader when its isn't. Biden on 22 Feb 2024 has already asked all Chinese gantry cranes in the US ports to be replaced. The tariff may be just empty threat since no Chinese gantry is allowed in the first place. It is also possible that this evil woman Katherine Tai has not done her homework when putting forward the tariff.

Am i the only one hearing someone talking in the background over these videos?

[@AnotherExtraFist]

Nothing like a ruby-checked youngster, observing self-discipline, to finish off the vlog Kevin!

Bida and his lover Raimonda think they are genius.

As an importer, I kinda know, thru rumors and/or truths passed on, how ports businesses operate. Ggggood luck, Biden!

Inflation is gonna spike if the seaports didn't have the right equipment to handle the loads effectively and efficiently.

[@comment6864]

why do your videos have some kind of faint background soundtrack, like someone talking? Ugh, it’s kind of eerie sounding

[@josephlicul]

US tariffs will bring alot of money to USA government

[@carlosgustavo1482]

They are litterally telling the chinese no one in America makes them. If i was a chinese crane manufacturer i would up my prices a bit.

[@jackreacher8858]

Crane , my kingdom for a crane huh ?

U crane?

This is what you get when you have a demented senior citizen making important decisions.

You can't look for logic when you observe us actions.

What is that voice saying in the background of all your videos?

there's a "who are we?" video on the channel - where he explains that it's a prayer.

It is obviously suicidal reaction without knowing the real issues.

Makes sense. Allow millions of econimic migrates into the country to provide low cost labour and increase birth rates. Build factories and build supply chains with low cost labour.

China has slowed down the purchase of Treasuries so America has to slow down the purchase of Chinese products.

Shaen temple (少林寺) is in Henan Province (河南省) and not Hunan Province (湖南省). Please verify and take steps to rectify.

"Red and blue states agree: Biden's tariffs on Chinese cranes are a bad idea, and perhaps illegal" Added: However, the U.S. government stated that it would not be difficult to reduce or eliminate tariffs on Chinese cranes if it is in the U.S. national interest. If we choose to do this, we will not feel any discomfort.

[@MrStevemur]

Note to both parties: industrial policy is more complicated than putting tariffs on everything and hoping the invisible hand of markets does it for you.

This is one of the worse administrations ever. It is terminal😂😂😂

Sadly U$ has reached stage 4 akin to a terminal cancer and there is no fixing nor for as long as A!PAC rules over America.
