“Where will China sell its crap if we dont buy it?”
China is capable of absorbing a great deal more damage than the US is willing to deal with and in case you haven’t noticed, China is already planning for a day when the US doesn’t play as major a role in their trade.
You’re not wrong, but his actions aren’t helping. An actual president would realize that tweeting about it is counterproductive, and would get to work and actually try to make changes, rather than thrashing around like an infant.
Even ignoring the much more complicated situation of where the cars in each market are actually built and sold (effective tariffs aren’t the same as the nameplate rates), Trump’s negotiating strategy (if that’s what you can even call his foaming at the mouth over Twitter) is criminally stupid.
I go to Shanghai each year and just got back last week. Still seeing more Teslas there than I do in NYC. But very few other US vehicles (other than CDM Buicks). There are a great many BMWs, Audis and Mercedes-Benzes, but I actually took a picture of an Escalade when I saw one—you just don’t see that type of vehicle on…

$3K is a bit much for a rusty car, no matter how interesting it might be. CP
The correct course would be to carefully study economic policy, consult experts, do computational predictions, outline solutions that would ease both economies into a new balance, and have face to face negotiations.
That’s what TPP was for, so that there would be an economic alliance to stem the economic influence of China in the region. Instead of well thought out economic policy we get ham fisted garbage like tariffs that we know for a fact won’t work. There is no way to spin this as being tough on China, it’s piss poor…
I disagree with respect to the debt issue. China can very well dictate what they want BECAUSE they hold so much debt. Remember - neither China nor any other debt holder is under any obligation to roll over any portion of that debt when it matures. China could simply say, “$300 billion of your debt is maturing next…
