“had a huge negative effect on stock markets”

“got the Chinese to maybe do something they were planning to do for a long time now.”

Yes it’s hot air. But XI is speaking pro actively about it. That’s good. And the market is responding accordingly.

How is removing trade tariffs that were in China’s favor along with removing the partnership agreements suit China to a T?

I mean, if it was that easy, what the fuck have Obama/bush/clinton been doing.

uh. what do you attribute it to? Accomplishing something that every president has promised for 25+yrs and failing miserably at.

I’m not sure if you’re implying that we already had the TPP setup and trump bailed on it? But China was never part of the TPP.

1st Gear: It’s just talk at this point, but it seems it’s going exactly the way trump wanted. China probably wants a trade war less than the US does. Too much of their economy is based on us purchasing crap buy the boat load.

wow. so it’s been 2 entire years. It looks like the threat of turning up tariffs actually got some dialogue going.

Tough fucking shit, Elon. Welcome to the real world. Hopefully this gets China to the negotiating table and we can work out agreements that are actually fair.

Sure. Maybe this gets them to the negotiating table.

still don’t see relevance? So, bc, US exports more volume than China, that entitles China to a 10x trade tariff?

He is against import duties in general. It read like there might be an exception in this case.

How is that even relevant?

ok? “hey China, could you pretty please remove those tariffs of yours on our imported autos? Thanks”

It would be weird for Musk to push back on this, since he literally asked for it.

He literally asked for this.

Huh? How on earth is it baloney???

It’s the actual unemployment rate. It’s 6th best in the nation

ahhahahahahahahahah. wow.
