  2. surat pongpipatpanich You don't understand. At all. It's not for political leaders to set up "partnerships" in industry. They must establish trade regimes that do not corrode the rule of law in the nations that trade with each other. It's up to free people to enter in to "industrial" trade partnerships. Every other way leads to failure and war. This mindset of "victims of imperialism" is actually itself imperialistic, justified only by delusional victim narratives that you all tell each other. You support "defensive imperialism" based on fact-free stories gleaned from history. Defending IP rights is not "imperialism." It's fundamental to cooperative free trade.

  3. That's just silly. The US needs to stop rewarding "Communist" doctrines. It's then up to them if they want to respond to the new "international" incentives regime. The same can be said of Iran, Cuba, etc. etc. etc.

  4. US consumers do not pay the tariffs unless they choose to. When they look at (and start to choose) other options the supply chain attempts to recover market share and absorbs some if not all of the costs. Your analytical model supposes that all nations have fixed prices and no alternative choices to the products offered.

  5.  @HDsharp  LOL. What is that supposed to mean? China's advantage is that they don't have to please their own body politic. Their disadvantage is that their body politic is not very resilient and doesn't know how to respond to this kind of adversity when the Communist Party runs out of Commanding Heights tricks. The USA doesn't need China for anything at all. We choose to trade with them because we want a synergistic rules-based world order. But when those rules only apply to the USA that is not a rules-based world order.

  6.  Freddy H  You read a few articles and you're confused. Trump is not confused. The issue is not trade deficits per se. Trade deficits merely quantify the issue in ways that the public can easily process and measure immediately. It's China's need to put everyone else out of manufacturing that has intelligent non-Communists worried.

  7. Europe is what? A continent. How is a continent supposed to respond to another continent?
