    China just tried to renegotiate already approved portions of the trade negotiations. That is why Trump is escalating the issue.

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/asia/china-trade-talks-trump-intl/index.html

    I'm already telling you, the CCP can't, not won't, can't, make the changes that will be required. Even if they could manage to enforce the rules it would essentially tank their economy and burst that debt bubble. The CCP's rule is predicated on economic growth. Take away state run corporate zombie debt spending and tech transfer growth and you are looking at recession in China. There goes their mandate from heaven to rule.

    My hope is that Trump's advisers already know this, and know they have the CCP by the balls atm, and aren't willing to settle for a symbolic win before the election campaign starts.
    Trump not willing to settle for symbolism? What else does trump have? He’ll cave and declare victory any minute now. LRR.

    I do admire your advocacy for an all-out trade war to break China. Trump doesn’t have the intelligence or ability to wage it though.
    My only hope on this point, and mind you I'm rooting for Team America not Trump, is that as Race said, why hasn't he just inked the deal already? The Chinese are willing to promise pie in the sky bullshit to make everyone look like a winner so long as none of it needs to be followed up on or enforced.

    Edit: Point of clarity, I want to see the CCP broken, not China. Ideally the CCP gets forced into a corner where they have to accept two party elections and systematic reform with minimal bloodshed. The CCP is an enemy. The Chinese People are not.
    Agree.

    LIPO mostly. They are ahead because they've spent billions on subsidizing a state owned company or two while price dumping into the rest of the world to gain market share. Lots of governments are wising up to this though and banning Chinese telecoms. If that continues to happen(which I think it will since who fucking wants the CCP literally spying on all of your communications?) look for lots of the traditional players to make up market share in a hurry.

    Also see the above scenario, Hauwei will be in for a world of hurt if China goes into recession or is forced to actually respect IP for a plethora of reasons.

    The Chinese Leadership can agree all they want. There's no way they are going to actually make the structural changes required to meet the demands made. It's either going to be a meaningless agreement made for show by both parties or put on your big girl panties for real tariffs to start. Chinese debt bubble could go pop because of it which also might mean another real estate adjustment across the globe. Either way, should be chinteresting.

    This. And that's when the shit really hits the fan. As we saw in 2008, the world's economy is not tied exclusively to tech ... housing is fucking massive to the economy.
    It will be and won't be 2008. You've got a lot of differences in how things are interlaced. This resembles the Asian Financial Crisis build up a lot more than the US recession IMO.

    While there's a whole lot of Chinese money going into real estate around the globe atm last I checked figures for the US housing market still peg foreign investment at less than 5% of total. (Realistically who fucking knows though, see the panama papers)

    China is a house of cards but who in their right mind invested in China as anything other than a high risk proposition? They don't even actually recognize property rights after all.

    China is also only the second largest market, by a long ways at that, as opposed to the US, plus European debt doesn't look so tied to it. The Chinese market can definitely effect foreign markets, but not remotely the way the US market does globally.

    Then you also need to figure out if China dips into recession is that going to cause further monetary flight from China that may offset the decrease in total available demand from China.

    Then figure out if the CCP is going to survive a recession or not. Who fucking knows?

    My non-expert opinion is we will see an extended global slump as China enters a prolonged hangover as all of the stage 2 effects of its economic revolution begin to materialize. I think structurally though, the US is in a better position than it was in 2008 and while you might see markets take a fairly large downward adjustment initially from a lack of foreign demand most of the long term economics still look sound enough; labor participation(despite what hondo thinks), demographics, no significant over leveraged markets, interest rates have room to move, etc.

    *shrug just what I'm hearing out here. Don't twist.
    This is why I come to the Tug. You see?

    I've got cocktail party material here for weeks. Shits going to make me look good.

    [Some other guy]: We can't fuck with China. Do you realize how important they are to the global economy? They can crush us any time they want.

    [Creep]: Well, let me lay some knowledge on you Kojak.




    It's a common misconception encouraged by various players but yeah, China owns a small percentage of our overall debt and is ultimately pretty meaningless to demand for US treasuries. I just went through that conversation with another(highly educated) coworker.

    Sure I do bro. I'm way older that you @UW_Doog_Bot and when I was a little So Cal kiddie skiing at Deer Valley many of the train signs were in both Engrish and Japanese. But there's a big there's a big difference between the Japanese and Ze Chermans buying up the US in the 1980's and China now. Both Japan and Germany were close allies and Japan to this day still isn't independent from the US in terms of its foreign policy.

    I'm just saying that eventually both(and especially Japan) fell back down to earth and were forced to deal with economic realities after their "miracles".
