Stocks, dollar slide as Trump's attacks on Fed shake markets
black tabby12345 replied to BLMFem's topic in Political Soapbox
Factors that impact stocks and currency markets: Govt current account balance, industrial outputs, unemployment rate, and social stability... Stagflation. Fear of more farms/business going bust. Firing 280000 of federal workers, will certainly affect them. -

A strong opposition party is essential for the balanced politics. As any unchallenged power will always rot, and rots fast. -

Sometime ago, I have heard the defective rate of Chinese products is as high as 30%. -

Selling to all directions: From USA, to human traffickers. No questions asked: Where they stand, or What they use it for. As long as the payment is made, they are customers. Today's China, looks even more capitalistic than the west. Pretty tough sort of adversary to fight against in economic war. -

Whatever Trump’s motive behind mad tariff(including the allies and friendly states), looks like US itself is first to be impacted. As stated in Trump slogan: American First. Seemingly too much sacrifice incurred to counter one issue. -
One fundamental cause of the US trade deficits. Often because of their citizens' habit of Overconsumption. Looks like it sped up particularly since Reagan Era; Reaganomics encouraged to spend more on debt. In terms of US's huge trade deficits, it is pretty much like self-inflicted. Merchandise won't sell without market demands.

Makes a good sense: Historic retaliation to Opium War in the 19th century. One of CCP long term strategies: Spread the narcotics among the west, in order to damage them from within. During the Vietnam Era, they actively smuggled heroin into war zone, among military supplies to N/Vietnam. And quite a few of US and its allied military grunts became addicted to that. That is how drug hazard became widespread in USA after the conflict. They have successfully made all of the British Empire and its former colonies drug soaked. -
Regarding the nation unable to feed own people, that looks like a direction Trump's America is heading for. While Cambodia is still the poorest Asian nation, at the same time, it is also the fast growing country(+5% annually), with the increasing population. If you are US expat overseas, better worry about own home, instead of China. Also good to remember one simple fact: It was US mega corporations that helped China grow up to be the huge monster as you can see today. Without that input, they cold never get this big and powerful Some pretty disturbing fact that significantly impacts US might. It is about the ship building capability ratio between 2 nations. Today's China is said to have over 200 times as much as USA. us and chian ship building ration - Google Search

Why name Cambodia, to talk about Asia? Asia includes Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia as well. And Malasia and Indonesia are rapidly growing countries. So as their consumer goods demand.

In this issue, China looks like in a lot more advantageous position. Today, US retail giant cannot fill their shelves without their products. And that is because of what US mega corporation started for own gain, as early as since 1970s. They shifted their factories overseas to reduce the cost of production. In 2000, US govt gave China the status of the Most Favored Nation, in terms of foreign trade. And it has been continued by successive US administrations. It is their policies US and its big companies that made China this big and influential. If American makers remained on their soil as it used to be, it didn't happen. Even if US of A boycotts Chinese goods, they only need to divert their export somewhere else(e.g. Asia). Asia today, has got 4.83 billion people(60% of the world's population). It is not the matter of whether I like or not like China, it is just a fact.

What I witnessed years ago in Chiang Mai. A man(seemingly a foreign tourist from Europe) asking local food vendor for a change. Showing his B1000-note and requesting smaller denomination, not buying anything from that shop. There was 7-11 behind him where he can break his note(buying something inexpensive).
