Canada is one of our biggest trading partners and has been for years. If they are not #1 they are #2.Canada???
We are all Hawkeyes so I will very respectfully disagree.Tariffs are a weapon of the past. Archaic and unnecessary.

You must have a very trusting positive outlook on your fellow man so I applaud you for that. I don't at all.
As a student of history, I am very aware of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and the Genocide from World War II. In my lifetime, I am also aware of the Khmer Rouge and the mass killings in Cambodia.
I think the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is an existential threat to the US/Allies. You must think they are a bunch of swell guys who mean well.
Solar Panels from China
President Joe Biden is set to use his executive authority Monday to issue a 24-month moratorium on solar panel tariffs designed to bolster U.S. industry.
Biden’s actions will pause enforcement of Obama-era anti-circumvention tariffs on solar panels and invoke the 1950 Defense Production Act (DPA) to boost domestic panel manufacturing, the White House announced. The president’s move came in response to complaints from the green energy industry and Democratic lawmakers that an active Commerce Department probe into Chinese companies’ alleged tariff violations was slowing the administration’s clean energy goals.

They used to be. But so was racism once.I thought protectionist tariffs were against Conservative Free Market Principles....
Put China’s government on a path to normal trade relations and riches while hanging the albatross of Middle East wars on the U.S. George HW Bush made significant errors at the key inflection point of the end of the Cold War.I think the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is an existential threat to the US/Allies. You must think they are a bunch of swell guys who mean well.
How about invoking the Defense Production Act? Wouldn't that be an effective method to increase domestic production.Wouldn't a tariff on Chinese products be one of those policies?
What major policy changes do you envision?
Big Guy is getting a 10% kickback.Biden is China's b$tch

I thought you read my earlier post talking about how China is screwing the US with:A student of history would know the Khmer Rouge, Mao and Stalin had nothing to do with imports that tariffs would affect. So, what's your point.
Do you even know what a tariff is? It is a tax on imports born by the importer. Not the country from which it originated.
Issues among countries should be resolved through preemptive trade agreements. Individual item/piece/container tariffs are punitive and by their retroactive nature do little to protect domestic economies.
I thought you read my earlier post talking about how China is screwing the US with:
1. Cybertheft
2. Subsidizing State Owned Enterprises
3. Demanding IP on joint ventures
Since China entered the WTO in 2001, it has cost the US millions of manufacturing jobs. Why should the US put up with that and let their working class be destroyed?
At the same time, China is using the massive trade surpluses they are generating to modernize and grow their military.

Even after they told Obama they would not militarize the S. China Sea, they did. When the Philippines took them to the World Court and China lost on militarizing the S. China Sea, they ignored the ruling.
With this new found military power, China broke their treaty with Hong Kong and took it over.

The FBI has said China launching constant cyber attacks against the US.

The CCP are as evil as Hitler. They perform organ harvesting.

Just like Hitler they are committing genocide.

China is not just some trading partner like France. It also amazes me, that so many people refuse to see the big picture. So why should we help them? 99% of what we buy from them could made in Mexico, Malaysia, etc. Why not use tariffs, to make their products so expensive, that other sources will be found? They are an existential threat to the US. The goal should be to bankrupt them.
I understand tariffs and realize they are paid by the importer. What you are not getting is that with high enough tariffs there is a point where the manufacturers will move to other countries. Janet Yellen calls it "Friend shoring".So, charge U.S. citizens and businesses. It is not possible for the U.S. or the world to function without the products China monopolizes.
Like everything wingers look at, reality is difficult. If China has the advantage, they will exploit it. Just like we would and did for a century. Like it or not...that's reality. Cheap labor keeps production less expensive, and manufacturing will seek it out.
Obama tried to negotiate a trade agreement to include China (TPP).
Your human rights arguments are admirable but have no bearing on business unfortunately. If we buy from China instead of other countries, it's obviously dollar driven. Bankrupt them?
Now tariffs. They're meant to discourage manufacturing outside the country imposing the tariffs. The example of the total China imports is perfect to demonstrate the absurdity. The Orange Turd's "China Grain Embargo" was built on his foolish premise that he would punish China by imposing a tariff on imports. The fact is the tariff was imposed on the U.S. importers, making the grain more expensive to U.S. interests.
Other products available mostly and in some case exclusively from China are necessary for our society to function smoothly. This a global sharing as resources fluctuate throughout the world over time.

Many countries have lower wages than China.
What you have not acknowledged is the existential threat that China poses to the US and our friends like Australia & Japan. Again, why should we help them? China is not a party to any strategic nuclear weapons treaties and they are quickly building more ICBM's.
China ICBM's
I thought all the China apologist in the Chat Room had finally accepted that China is as evil as Hitler but I guess not.

If Joe Biden fell into a bucket of boobs he would come out sucking his thumb.
Biden is China's b$tch
MAGAts Cucked by Reality: Part 2,345,670For those of you that aren’t in the industry, this action was very necessary. It was getting to the point that we didn’t know if we were gonna be able to get any panels in a few months if they didn’t do something. That would not have been good for an already fragile economy, so bash on Biden all you want, but he made a difficult choice that ultimately will allow us to continue to operate.
Stock market dropped another 200 points today, inflations at 9%, roughly 30% of people think he has a clue,he is so ****ing stupid he thinks backfilling the job hole from an over extended pandemic response is a win, he takes it in the ass from china weekly, we gave the taliban hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shit to rebuild their army after fighting them for 20 years, his own party is pissed he isn't giving MORE tax breaks to the wealthy in high tax states, crime is at an all time high and we are funding a war of attrition on the other side of the globe, mexico just commited 1.5b to give themselves better systems to.process immigrants into our countrty.. let me know when he gets done doing so much winning would ya.MAGAts Cucked by Reality: Part 2,345,670
So cybertheft is part of free trade? Bull shit.The fact is China has materials we need. We deal with the devil out of necessity all the time. They have sensors or whatever not available elsewhere, so.......
....Australia? They don't have them, what good will that do. Japan, the same.
I suppose you have solution. If China has inventory of components critical to our industries no other countries have, do we just flip them off and not produce?
Edit: BTW, free market forces determine trade. If goods are sought from China, blame businesses. It's capitalism. It's how it's supposed to work. If labor is cheaper in other countries and shipping and logistics warrant trade with other countries, businesses will be responding.
So cybertheft is part of free trade? Bull shit.
So subsidizing state owned enterprises is free trade. That is more bull shit.
Meanwhile the US worker gets screwed royally.
What you are talking about from China is Rare Earth metals. Those can be found in other parts of the world and only represent 1% of what we buy from them. 99% of what we buy from them is sold at Walmart. That could be made anywhere.
Btw, a countries savings rate has a major impact on their trade strategy.
Savings-Investment=Exports-Imports
All this talk about how we “need” things only China can produce. Is there nothing the US has that China needs? They need the US consumers I suppose, but we aren’t willing to do anything about reducing the junk we buy from them.
Because we aren’t willing to give up all of our China junk; for products that aren’t cost effective to manufacture in the US; I’d like to see the US subsidize infrastructure to Central America or South America to build the same manufacturing facilities that China has. This type of move can have other benefits such as relief at the border with more jobs and money flowing to our neighbors.
Are you on the Chinese payroll? Give me a flipping break. Everybody and their brother knows China commits cybertheft accept you. What is your problem pal?Holy crap. Skate over the logic of issue by defaulting to wing nut argument points. It's the reason you guys can't see the forest for the trees.
International trade is larger than your myopic, McCarthyistic opinion.

China Cybertheft
The threat to the West from the Chinese government is "more brazen" and damaging than ever before, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Monday night in accusing Beijing of stealing American ideas and innovation and launching massive hacking operations.
The speech at the Reagan Presidential Library amounted to a stinging rebuke of the Chinese government just days before Beijing is set to occupy the global stage by hosting the Winter Olympics. It made clear that even as American foreign policy remains consumed by Russia-Ukraine tensions, the U.S. continues to regard China as its biggest threat to long-term economic securwity.
You are so full of crap.Go to a conspiracy fruitcake meeting and watch Carlson 'til you puke. Cypertheft happens. So does Orange Turd campaign grifting, border wall solicitation grifting, let's see...what else.
Yes. It's there. So, grown-ups design methodology to combat it, because if China does it, and we shut them down, it stands to reason other countries or entities will pick it up. Or had you thought of that.
