Remember the trade war


We won so no big deal
President Trump signed a landmark trade agreement with China, heralding a period of detente in a trade war between the world's two largest economies fueled by decades of complaints that Beijing was manipulating its currency and stealing trade secrets from American firms.
The pact, detailed in a 94-page document, is only the initial phase of a broader deal that Trump has said may come in as many as three sections.
"Together, we are righting the wrongs of the past," Trump said in a pomp-filled signing ceremony. "It doesn't get any bigger than this."
The agreement will help grow the U.S. economy in 2020 and 2021 by “at least a half a point of additional GDP” and “probably translate into another million jobs on top of what we’ve already done,” Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told FOX News' "America's Newsroom" on Wednesday.

I understand it's the biggest deal anyone has ever seen.
Is Henry Kissinger still alive?!?

This first phase “hardly addresses in any substantive way the fundamental sources of trade and economic tensions between the two sides, which will continue to fester,” said Eswar Prasad, a Cornell economist and and former head of the International Monetary Fund’s China division.
Mary Lovely, professor of economics at Syracuse University, described the deal as a “trade truce with large state-directed purchases attached”. Even so, she wrote, “the truce is good news for the US and the world economy.” -

HH and his leadership elites are poo pooing the deal. Trump just did an amazing thing. HH and his leaders all wanted to stand pat where we were when we were 500 Billion in deficit and the Chinese were stealing trillions more in IP. 8 years of BO and they did nothing. Then they bitched like whiny little wimps when Trump made his move. Now the fucking hypocrites are bitching about the deal which is clearly a great deal for the country.HHusky said:The Administration declares victory. Very convincing.
Schumer and the low lifes he dictates over are out in force trying to deny the incredible thing Trump has done for the American people. It makes you wonder why they were happy letting the country lose. -
I’m thrilled that it’s “a great deal for the country”. Could you share the details please? Everyone else seems to be in the dark about them.Bendintheriver said:

Good news for the short term markets but it's a stalling tactic by the CCP I have no doubt, just like everything they've ever agreed to in regards to the WTO etc. At least it seems like Trump understands enforcement is necessary or they'll just continue to lie.
I'm sure they are hoping Trump is gone in 2020 and Biden can give them the green light.
Also this, "Beijing also rejected a call to include a pledge not to hack US companies, arguing such a promise was not part of a trade deal." which effectively means that they'll continue tech transfer as a large portion of their GDP.
Best case scenario, this floats the economy past the world headwinds of 2020, helps Trump get re-elected, and he can double down on decoupling in the second term.
It really comes down to the fact that the economy and political system the CCP has built can't stand an actual free market. -

It's also defied a lot of experts who said it would be a disaster for the US. There's no doubt that a lot of the perception and power has shifted to the US side of the table. It's the only reason that explains why the CCP would gift Trump a victory like this at all, they themselves are desperate. -

First, every American president since LBJ has adopted the neocon view that kowtowing to the chicoms would bring them economic success and then the realization that they needed to be a democratic republic and join the Federation and eat smores and sing Kumbaya around the international campfire. 50 years later we have Xi who still wants to steal our lunch and fancies himself as Mao II. Trump actually sees the reality. Leftards and the NeverTrumpers want to root for the away team. After phase I we still have large tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of chicom trade. A large part of this has been eaten by the chicoms. A large part has been passed on to American businesses and consumers. Trump has also put the fear of God into businesses which are transitioning manufacturing out of China. The Chicoms have a far worse debt issue than we do and a population used to a fast growth economy. Their real estate bubble makes ours look like microscopic.
When the chicoms and Russians are rooting for a Biden win so they can continue to phu*ck us, then I don't need to be lectured about Trump being a Russian tool. Keep fracking and keep the tariffs on the chicoms.

I'm not a protectionist by any means or measure, but China has never been free trade. I have no issue with their economy growing even it means manufacturing jobs moving from here to there, as long as it's market driven. That's organic growth, that's real and they deserve it if they can get it.
But fuck ... even in the commodity business you have to go through a gauntlet of pick pockets at the port dock in China before you get anywhere near your markets, and even then you are faced with more obstacles. That we sell anything there at all is a minor miracle.
Free market theory works when everybody is playing free market. Not sometimes and when they feel like it. China bad.
