Russia is already facing lots of sanctions, so you guys should rest with the no tarrifs on Russia. |

Trump loves to play God. He sees other countries as peasants who should come begging at the feet of the Czar of the United States. Canada gave him the middle finger and China now. Stop bossing people around. Those tariffs cause far more harm to the US than China. The main beneficiaries of cheap Chinese goods aren't the Chinese but US companies. A product they buy for $1 in China may resell at $10 in the US. The fastest way to destroy your economy is to destroy the supply chain. That's what dumb Trump is doing. |

foleskay:You're praising hubris. The slowpoke with his senseless economic policies has crashed the US stock market. That is the biggest vote of no confidence by the private sector of his nursery school economic policies. You're slamming tariffs on other nations because of trade deficits. Why not approach the WTO? He wants to use tariffs to raise revenue and abolish income taxes. The man is a joke. |

foleskay:Lol... You really don't know what you're talking about. A lot of the things used in the US are made in china, 90% of iPhone are made in china. These tariffs means that the prices of iPhones are going to triple along with other goods like Nike and others. This is the very reason why people are out on the streets of US protesting against these tariffs because it's going to massively affect them. |

foleskay:Before you become an inventor nation while coming from behind you will have to pass through 2 stages. The first stage is learning and copying what has already been done, and the second stage is progressing further using the knowledge you acquired from learning and copying. The copying part is necessary because it makes you progress faster. China has already completed the first stage and they are currently just starting the second stage. China is already leading in electric vehicle technology, they launched the first quantum satellite, they lead in high speed rail technology. China currently has the largest number of scientific patents. In fact China is still rising and they haven't gotten to their peak yet. When they get to their peak they will eventually become the leading inventors. |

ogbonti:America and it's companies will cry again if they engage India. India have same issues; a massive population of very IT and tech-inclined people. Therefore, intellectual property theft that led China to clone American products will only continue there. Another issue is the logistical process and infrastructure of China is very efficient and wld be hard to substitute. Vietnam, perhaps Yes. Okay. |

I think what trump is doing is to protect their home made goods, a lot goods coming in outside(imported) with lesser tariff are far more cheaper than the ones produced in USA thereby killing most the goods produced locally. |

foleskay:If the orange clown really wanted what's best for his people then he should've asked for a deal the way he did with the USMCA agreement with mexico and Canada. Also tariffs aren't long term solutions as companies will just choose to wait them out because a new administration will remove them not to talk about the US being a service economy not a manufacturing one as their labour climate isn't profitable and cheap like china's. If Trump really wanted to roll this out then he would've subsidized companies by investing in them and raising the minimum wage because the average American won't work in a factory for a low wage, the ones who could do it were immigrants because they had no choice and the orange clown is deporting them. It's easier and cheaper to continue to make these goods in china as the importer will just slap the tariffs on them and wait the four year administration out, simple sense, you and the clown no get but he loves the poorly educated so I'm not surprised. Also learn the history of trump's obsession with China as a competition with the US, it starts from a book his son-in-law saw on Amazon from a man that literally has no trade or economic knowledge on china aka Peter Navarro Also with his fluctuation on the market by doing a "will they or won't they" with the tariffs, he's showing signs that he's a weak man and world leaders are calling his bluff and not taking him seriously |

America is no longer world power, they are just finding it difficult to accept which is normal for every empire when it is over. Egypt, France, Europe were all once an empire and world leader . Its already over for usa, How china became an empire was not a day work , it took them more than 50 years to get to where they are today , USA can't do it over night , they should have seen this coming long time ago but they turned deaf ear to it. The world industrial power is now China and there's nothing anyone can do about it, even if you bring all the manufacturing back to USA who will work in the factory and at what pay rate. It will cost over the current price of Iphone to produce iphone in usa because of their minimum wages besides Americans don't like factory job and the immigrants who does factory works is currently facing massive deportation foleskay: |

Basicend:intellectual property theft is less than 10% reason for the trade war.. 90% of it is tarrifs, China tarrifs the US more than US tarrifs China that is why you cant easily find a Chevy Camaro in Beijing Nigeria doesnt steal intellectual property from the US neither does Canada- but both countries came under Trump tarrif recently - so all these is all about balance of trade, lets keep it simple! |

I can tell you that low key China values America as one of its biggest markets if not the biggest. |
