Tick tock, Tik Tok.

So like, Temu, Wish, all those sorts of things, were operating on a fucking obscene loophole where they were exempt from all duties as long as they were sending a billion single item packaged instead of retail scale orders.

There were entire sections of industrial zones in manufacturing hub cities dedicated to supplying these sites. If you’re a factory worker in China right now, you are FUCKED.

Also, Foxconn is rapidly leaving China for India

China is expecting to see half, HALF of its factories close this year. Trump fucked them into the dirt

Really nigga you think half of all Chinese factors will close in a year ?

 

[I was a Teenage “JA”-man]

How cute, they think it's 2017 again.

My boy, privleged white people will jump to the opportunity to look like victims of opression especially after being the self whipping villain for 5 years

Go nuts on editing this soyboy sign holder.

Just the one you work at.

 

[Delany's Donkey]

So is the goal the tariffs remain till factories get built in the US (and remain in place so those factories are competitive) or is it when countries lower their tariffs on US goods?

I'll settle for this.

You mean the one my Chink raceplay cunny slave works at ?

Are you sure it's a factory and not a white monkey zoo???

victims of whitey over and over in the story and background until they break into a giant pseudo-communist "revolution" race riot

At least they still let you kill the black slaves and shoot the little girl singing in the riot. Still a stupid as fuck game that misunderstands Americana as a whole, but those few instances were good.
Shame too, because visually I like the game a lot.

even as a joke, there is shit you shouldn’t say. Now I have no choice but to assume you’re an open pedophile with an Asian fetish

See post directly above this.

Remember that China doesn’t operate like a normal country. They needed twenty years of annual GDP growth in excess of 10% to make it to where they are where people pull oil out of gutters for your hot pot restaurant experiment and people do shit like pass off extruded plastic as rice.

You don’t have a functional justice system in China, it’s a kleptocracy. A standard factory worker works twelve hour shifts six days a week and can still barely afford to live.

So like I mentioned above, people with any sort of means have been desperate to move their money out of china, and that’s why the median Canadian home cost more than $700,000 dollars while basically nobody in Canada earns enough to spend that

There’s no capital just chilling waiting for reinvestment, and foreign investment dried up

They are super, super fucked

 

[The Ugly One]

Also this perspective: the US has the largest demand of any market on earth, and running $1 trillion trade deficits annually bottom line means we consume $1 trillion a year more than we produce. You manufacture when you have demand, because demand is what enables manufacturing. The whole utility of export is to search for demand.

You can run a trade deficit if next year's economic growth is as big or bigger than last year's trade deficit. The trade deficit is then just financing investment. Same reason a growing company doesn't have to turn a profit. Problem is our "growth" has lately been government spending, meaning we're just paying for the trade deficit with debt.

A lot of factories in China are small sweatshop and that's why you can order the exact same items from all three websites but receive wildly different results. Here's a random Temu/Shein/Wish video I picked at random. This is a very popular video to make, so there's tons of them, all very similar:

Temu, Shein, Wish

These Chinese platforms send specs out to various different sweatshops around the country. The sweatshops source their own materials, which makes the quality and output results somewhat random. I can't remember where I heard it, but apparently Ali Baba does the same thing, so you can get three different versions of the same item in a large order. So yeah, it's not a wild exaggeration to say that half of Chinese factories could go under, if they're small 15-person sweatshops who get their orders exclusively from Wish, Temu, and/or Shein.

 

[Turkey Beef]

China seems to be doing well. Much better than the US currently.

Care to elaborate on this?

The chinese cycle is
New Emperor takes power after a brutal warring states civil war
creates good times
China is open to the world
Dynasty decays into faggotry and weakness
economic hard times
China closes itself off from the world.
Warlords carve out kingdoms starting a apocalyptic civil war

Yes. Combined with the massive debt, I believe the shock treatment Trump has enacted is about all you can do to stop us from hitting the wall hard.

Well I don’t think I’m being that shady. We also hit Canada in part for passing Chinese steel and aluminum through to us.

Also Europe is protectionist and they won’t provide much more market for Chinese output, some African nations decided that China’s J35 is a piece of shit and cancelled orders, and basically if they don’t commit suicide exporting to us at a loss, they’re not going to replace us as a market and they have VERY low domestic demand

Obama's all so weak and old and shaky already and starting with the ol 'let me be clear'. This is pretty sad.

>Imagine if I had pulled Fox News' credentials from the White House Press Corps
His administration repeatedly excluded Fox News from access to White House staff during his first term. Even MSNBC and CNN started taking issue with it.
His DOJ seized the phone records of the Associated Press and that was brazen enough to trigger a letter of condemnation from a whole coalition of media outlets
Much like pretty much everything else involving the man, Obama walked and set precedent so Trump could run.
