China whining that their trade surplus was down "all the way to JUST $13.84 billion" last month. Boo hoo.

in #informationwar5 years ago

Cue my mini violins and my fake tears.

China (and their free traitor enablers in the corporate world) has gotten so used to RIPPING OFF AMERICANS at much higher levels that they are bemoaning the fact that some of Trump's tariffs are actually starting to have a bit of an impact on the trade deficit between the USA and China.

They say every billion in deficit represent 20,000 in lost jobs...SO...if we could eliminate the rest of this imbalance, at current rates, we could add 280,000 jobs to the U.S. economy each month over what we have now. AND...those would be necessarily decent paying manufacturing jobs...you know the kind that give people so much satisfaction and that actually add REAL WEALTH to our own economy-- like flipping burgers, and pushing papers doesn't really do.

Maybe we'll even be able to build our own military hardware again some day without depending on our next most likely enemy.

Here is an excellent update on the whole situation from America's foremost anti-"free trader (traitor)" pro-REAL MAGA economic watchdog--the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPS):

And here is an excerpt from the article above:

"This week, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told reporters that the U.S. will increase levies on Chinese imports on Friday. His comments came after U.S. President Donald Trump's tweeted on Sunday that current tariffs of 10% on $200 billion of Chinese goods would be raised to 25% on Friday. Trump also threatened to impose an extra 25% levy on another $325 billion of Chinese goods 'shortly.'

The latest developments sent markets across the globe reeling, amid earlier indications and optimism that the U.S. and China were close to ending their protracted trade war. Just last month, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told The New York Times that negotiations were in the 'final laps'."

Personally, I hope a "deal" dosen't get done AT ALL if it isn't going to result in a TOTAL ELIMINATION of any ongoing trade deficit with China. I am glad Trump is putting out the right rhetoric on this subject. Let's just hope his future actions match that fine talk.

The ChiComs have taken advantage of our free TRAITOR class of globalist "leaders" here in America for WAY TOO LONG, and it's definitely time to roll back the clock to when you could routinely find things "MADE IN AMERICA" and very few found labeled "MADE IN CHINA."

I hardly sympathize
