We at an Economic War with China.

[Mai72]

Steve Bannon goes into why China is going to lose. Very interesting. BTW, I think he's correct. China was suprised that Donald was POTUS, and they were blindsided by Trump. Bannon talks about Reagan and how he defeated the Russians in 7 years. Remember, in the 1970's Russia was a rising superpower. Reagan put an end to that, and now Trump is positioning himself to do the same to China.

 

[DrDoug]

I disagree, China is better positioned to absorb economic damage than the US. Remember Tienanmen Square? The people of China will take whatever economic abuse the government says that they need to take, or else. Not so here. We have lots of voters that will have no problem understanding the pain their wallets are feeling in this war. Once that 'message' hits home with the voters and they also understand who the party is that inflicted this pain on them, most of them will vote to change things.

China's regime isn't in any trouble...lol, not one bit. Bannon has been huffing Chinese spray paint.

 

[sandorski]

Why does everything have to be a fucking war with you guys? Learn to live and evolve with your neighbours for fucks sake. We're trying to live here and you thugs keep doing drive-bys down the street.

Bannon trades in bull shit haven’t you learned this yet?

China isn't stupid enough to start wars for propaganda like the Russkies did. Instead they build maglev trains to show the beauty of China to sell their citizens on unity and power.

Also China tends to think about things not in the next year but the next 100 years. Sure it's possible they could have stupid leaders, but with the recent leadership, they've been very competent. After all it's not just America which buys Chinese goods.. it's India and they have 5 times our population.

F that guy. If he gives rise to anyone to power, its Russia. Noone else.

Bannon is nothing more than a rather nasty fascist shit.

China is not in a good place economically right now

 

[kage69]

I feel dirty for saying this, but I agree with him, but just on the nature of China and the threat it poses. I couldn't disagree more regarding Trump, who is a bluffer and not a good one. Possibly worst negotiators in the world, has horrible instincts if it doesn't involve gauging racist resentment. Lie, cheat and steal covers the rest. I feel that's just Bannon living up to the requisite amount of ass kissing one has to perform to get noticed, to gravitate into Trump's orbit where influence can be exerted. He still wants to be a king maker, a player in right wing politics. I can't stand the guy, but on China he's not exactly wrong. As a nation we have been largely reluctant to acknowledge what China does as long as our consumers and companies get cheap goods and labor.

It would be nice to see Bannon express some kind of regret over Trump doing what he can to Make China Great Again wrt TPP, but then that would call for more candor than he's capable of.

 

[dank69]

Lol, Shapiro and now Bannon. No wonder OP is so screwed up. Save yourself some time and ask a hobo to shit directly into your skull.

 

[IronWing]

We've always been at war with Eastasia.

You have a bigger chance of winning the powerball than see China collapse like the USSR. And Americans are feeling the pinch more than anyone else.. just look at our farmers..

China slashed its imports of U.S. sorghum, soybean, and corn in September by 80%.

 

[cytg111]

Bannon is the kind of guy that "conservatives" actually should be afraid of... there is your socialist agenda right there... Of course he will have to burn it all down to the ground first, then build from there... but that is minor details... Viva La Revolution
Bannon is an articulate anarchist.

Yea I dont get that either.. That is the upside of a regime, you cant take the punches and let the people suffer no problem ... a western democracy takes a punch, ppl begin to whine, and the politicians are out of office. Next.

It would be a step up.

Yup, even the farmers are figuring it out. The reality is settling in for them that their markets are not just going to come right back after the tariffs are lifted. Nor are they happy about their bailout because they now realize that their welfare money is coming from the tariffs that the taxpayers, not China, are paying. Nor are they happy getting welfare while their crops rot instead of selling them and making a living like they used to.

When a Republican gives an opinion about something, reality is exactly the opposite of whatever they just said.

He's no anarchist. At heart, he's a fascist.

 

[Jhhnn]

He's no anarchist. At heart, he's a fascist.

Fascists have always gained control by breaking down an existing system into anarchy to replace it with their own.

You are grossly misinformed and incredibly stupid.

One buys from the other. There are absolute tons of sellers of cheap shit. There are limited markets of buyers of cheap shit.

This isn't difficult, but you folks that have no sense of economics sure make it out to be.

I'm not saying that we're doing the correct course of action to revolt, sanctions can be highly debated as to if it is the best option or not. However, you're a COMPLETE moron if you think China is "winning" this. You're wrong. You're stupid. You're uninformed and have no sense of the business world. When you say stupid statements like "China's regime isn't in any trouble" - you clearly don't have any sense of news, economics, etc... You just believe what you want to believe.

 

[DrDoug]

Coming from you, that's a compliment. America depends on trade with China. China does whatever the fuck they want because of that. Morons like you like to pretend you know what you are talking about but are too fucking shallow-minded to think this through. China can absorb a hell of a lot more economic pain than we will ever be able to because we heavily depend on them for cheap goods. This is going to cost us big.

I'm not going to waste any more time on your ignorance, go ahead and wallow in it.

We don't depend on trade with China, dipshit. We can buy shit from plenty of low-labor costing nations. Newsflash: They aren't the only one - and because their economy has increased over the years, they are no longer the country that is looked to when companies want to outsource.

You. Are. Misinformed.

Don't go trying to back-up your misinformed statements with facts or anything. That would be thinking rationally.

Not even worth arguing with the Trumpanzees on this forum. Trump is their savior, the father of their child, the man who works so hard for them to provide everything. He will never betray the fuhrer.

I see it everyday.. even today Trump voters are not regretting their votes.. they can't wait to vote for him again. They don't care. It was not a mistake. And they don't wanna argue or discuss.. they just wanna not discuss, work and vote for Trump.

And I do think he'll win in 2020 again.. no democrat can brainwash people as good as Trump.

First, I don't have to back a damned thing up because some dumbfuck on the internet demands it. Second, I don't need to Google shit because I have been politically aware since Nixon went to China. I also protested the bastard at the opening of the World's Exposition in Spokane, 1974.

You can shove Google up your ass. China rules cheap and this is going to cost us. Russia now welcomes the trade our farmers used to have with them.

To you, that's winning.

I think America is greatly underestimating the value and threat this trade war placed on other sectors of the economy, where American companies have hegemony.

Eg Amazon (eg AWS) Google, Microsoft, Facebook for example. These companies are very dominant in the next gen data economy, far beyond the US borders. People are looking at this with a new perspective and concern.

While we are watching, so it's Europe and all these other countries that have Incorporated China into their supply chains. We are also at war with them as well. I can tell you for a fact these executives and supply chain mangers are pissed at the US are looking for ways to hedge, as well as rethinking their relationship with the US.

We are a huge econ, so they won't go away, but same for China. In the meantime were building lots of ill will, and reactions. There will be very wide and long lasting consequences to our actions.

Better be worth it....
