Rush just said yesterday was "dry run"

[hawkedoff]

Some of you truly are ignorant of what China truly is like. They are not the tiger in the room...we are. We own them. They are addicted to our markets and they know it.

They have been trying to strengthen the Yuan? Sure they have in the same way a heroin addict uses methadone.

The truth is China is a paper tiger and Trump has set the paper on fire. They can't take it and we can. Sure we may see some economic pain but they are in for a world of hurt. Why do you think they are threatening Hong Kong? Where is the civil unrest coming from? That is the tip of the iceberg if their economy doesn't get righted....and the only one that can do that is us.

So many of you are so easily ready to trash our country and our ability when compared to other countries and yet you are so clueless about the reality of the world. All that crying over Chinese owning our debt don't even have a clue on how much the debt they own is vs our economy. We owe them next to nothing in the big picture and yet that debt owns China

Uh huh. That's why he just backed off on tariffs until December. Because otherwise, China was gonna 'blink', Amirite?

 

[HawkeyeGold]

Of course, 2024 will probably be when we see the benefits of the tax cuts too, right

Sure, why not? Why would the benefits stop between now and then?

Wouldn't it be the Liberals with the conspiracy theories here , who would have to come up with the burden of proof, proof that proves we are heading towards a recession.... when we all are doing just fine?

We have the power to influence the yield curve, and know exactly where you live. Just sit quietly and we will be there shortly.

It must be inordinately taxing for you to be such a moran.

When 'benefits' = 'runaway deficits', they won't.

There haven’t been any, that is my point

 

[TheCainer]

it's all "R" words, rape, Russia, racism, recession

You forgot republican.

Well one of us has actually done business in China and has family living there. It isn't you

It is embarrassing to know that Limpdick is a Royals fan.

Being a Royals fan is embarrassing for anyone. Disemboweled by the StL over the last two days. Couldn't even score a single run vs. the Cardinals this week without the help of Don Denkinger...

LOL. You have no idea. I’ve been to Shanghai more than most people to police counterfeits from supplier overruns. But carry on.

The Chinese are playing the game as Mercantilists, while most everyone else is playing the game as Capitalists.

So, in essence, it is like playing Monopoly, you have a game with certain rules. China has a back door to the bank. They are grabbing a $500 bill every time no one is looking. It makes the game suck. That is China right now.

And why are you surprised? This is what China is....China understands the greed of capitalism and understands how to take advantage of man’s basic instinct for greed. It is a great offense. Anti-capitalism wins eventually because capitalists just cannot help themselves.

Seriously. U did what exactly in China ? Negotiate coffee trade with Luckin? Did u try to buy into the Yum China explosion? What you laid out is one of the most idiotic, il-informed reasons I have ever heard from someone not named Cemar or OiT.

Please explain again why their ownership of our treasuries is our advantage. If In fact they are buying out treasuries now and driving the yields into inversion they are in fact crushing our banking systems carry trade and NIM.

They can let their currency de value and we will again see a massive run on our banks and global credit markets.

pleaee STFU. You have no concept of what is happening within the legal system in Hong Kong - the extradition bill has largely died. Hong Kong should be defended and China will do nothing if we the Us lean in to help them.

 

[HawkeyeGold]

I'm too stupid to read all that.

FIFY

No; they're doubling down.

Really? You need to do a study on the percentage of GDP per country that relies on exports. Germany, for instance, is almost 2X what the USA is. Most of Europe is. Do you think they would be in a hurry to start a trade war? Their economy is married at the hip with China. The factories in China are not investing in new equipment, so Europe has the Flu right now. Sometimes you have to pull the mask off the pretender for everyone to see. Trump is doing just that. If Xi sends troops into Hong Kong, then Europe, France and the rest of the EU cannot just stand by and watch. It will be too much of an affront to the "We are the nice guys", the identity they keep their masses in line with.

Here, I did the research for you. Do not argue against the trade war if you do not understand or cannnot support your position.

Here is some perspective on China.

This paper is a staunch Trump Supporter and a mouthpiece of the Fulun Gong, so don't jump down my throat about the source. Is it right or wrong?

30% of the Chinese economy is based on the real estate bubble. The reason that the West is finally pushing against China is the Belt and Road Initiative, which is a SCAM designed to get Naval and Military bases. China has to keep stealing, they need growth. Also, if you look that the tenets of the WTO, China violates at least two of them.
