webfact Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Thai trade bodies cheer for Biden presidency By The Nation Thai business associations are cheering for Joe Biden to grab the keys to the White House from President Donald Trump on hopes over trade deals. Thai Feed Mill Association president Pornsilp Patcharintanakul said if Biden wins the ongoing vote count, the global economy would benefit from a realignment of US policy with international trade regulations. "Thailand would gain from de-escalation of the US-China trade conflict, which would boost many businesses’ confidence in trading," he said. "Meanwhile, Biden [as president] would end the Covid-19 outbreak as quickly as possible. If the US can contain the spread of the disease, the economy will recover." He added that Biden would drive the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), adding that Thailand, which is not yet a member, should formulate a clear policy on this trade deal. "Also, we expect a Biden presidency to reconsider the [suspension of] Generalised System of Preferences [GSP] privileges for Thai products because the US stands to gain less from exporting pork to Thailand than it does from Thailand importing its soybean meal," he added. The US last month halted GSP tax breaks on Thai agricultural products in retaliation for Thailand not opening its pork market. Thai Shrimp Association president Somsak Paneetatyasai said the result of the US presidential election would not affect Thai shrimp exports to the US as these were not covered by the GSP. "If Trump wins, Thailand will benefit from the strong relationship between the Trump and Prayut governments," he said. "If Biden wins, the US-China trade conflict will ease as he would find other ways to negotiate with China." Whatever the election result, he expects the US to keep Thailand in Tier 2 of its annual Trafficking in Persons report. Thai Frozen Foods Association president Poj Aramwattananont said the election outcome would not affect the export of frozen tuna and shrimp to the US because Thailand did not have tariff privileges on these products.

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 I don't think the Biden group would necessarily go spineless on the Chinese at this point. This is the one major point I hope he keeps a backbone for. The Chinese dirty trickster commies need to be slapped and slapped hard, not the opposite. Russia loves Trump, China thinks they like Biden. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can follow in Trumps footsteps and pursue licensing deals and open a bank account in China too. The $188,561.00 Trumps LLC paid in China for 2013 -2015 local taxes was considerably larger than the $750.00 Dollars he paid to the US Government for 2016,2017 income taxes. The Times said Trump’s tax records show that he has invested at least $192,000 in five small companies created specifically to pursue projects in China over the years. Those companies claimed at least $97,400 in business expenses since 2010, including some minor payments for taxes and accounting fees as recently as 2018, the Times reported Source : https://apnews.com/article/trump-tax-records-china-f086bba3b691acdc51535412f77f2c8e Edited November 6, 2020 by Seth1a2a 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 26 minutes ago, hotchilli said: What they mean is they hope Biden will ignore the unfairness and allow Thailand to continue to screw imports so that Thailand benefits. Which is why they just might be in for a big surprise. Obama had restrictions and downgrades put on ties with Thailand because of the coup. Trump looked the other way because Prayut flattered him. But now that the professionals are back in charge at the State Dept. I wonder if they are going to be anxious to let up on a country whose government suppresses the opposition and makes its political parties illegal, denies the right to political free speech, and whose ideals for the future seem more in alignment with the nineteenth century than the twenty-first. And, most importantly, has all but formally declared itself as a Chinese satellite. In the Congress, there are both Republicans and Democrats who do not look favorably on these sorts of things. Foreign and trade policy regarding China is already coming into bipartisan agreement. Thailand risks being swallowed up in that, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here you see cluelessness in action. One of the top four states in pork production is North Carolina, an important swing state in American presidential elections and almost a tossup in senate races. So, whose side do you think Biden and the Democrats are going to come down on, Thailand or North Carolina pork producers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
