Just saw a report that China and Trump have reached a deal... IF TRUE, it tells us a LOT of things:Skans » Today, 1:10 pm » wrote: ↑ We need to keep facilitating the stream of businesses leaving China, especially semi-conductors and pharmaceuticals. I'd like to see electronics manufacturing return to the US as well.
Yes, China is imploding. I would rather see a steady decline in China rather than have it implode. Ask yourself - what do Countries do when the economy sucks, everyone is unemployed, and the leader is taking a lot of heat? Hint, what did Germany do after going through hyper inflation, massive unemployment and a long term stagnant economy following the Treaty of Versailles, especially when the US wasn't there to finance its fragile economy? Or, more recently, what did America do after its President got caught with his pecker in a young intern's mouth?
1) I can't imagine that ANY trade deal would be made that didn't include ALL of the provisions that China agreed to in 2018, and then BROKE as soon as Joe Biden was elected... THAT deal included requirements that China NOT steal American technology any longer, Opening up their imports (not just exports), and NO LONGER engaging in a laundry list of other illegal trade activities... that were explicitly stipulated in the 2018 agreement...
2) They will have to have agreed KNOWING that Apple, HP, Google, Walmart and OTHER companies have decided to LEAVE China...
3) THEY may have ONLY made the agreements expecting to WAIT OUT Trump, and HOPING for another Democrat to take office... so they can BREAK all the agreements JUST like the did before...
I would think Donald Trump has sim surprises for them if that is true !!
