yet another U Turn from Trump's tariffs

Something many forget is that the US has a better demographic situation than China has, and it is all of China's own making with the one-child policy etc. As people age, there are fewer younger Chinese to replace those working late into their 50/60s and beyond (some say the Chinese pension system will collapse in about 10 years). Not to mention that the CCP's reputation is taking a battering due to their tofu-dreg construction projects failing/collapsing at the slightest thing.

Many younger Chinese people are starting to "Tang Ping" which translates to "Lie flat" because they think they have no future, and that working will not make their lives better... plus you have approx 12 million well-educated new grads each year entering the job market, which makes it overly competitive, and many are giving up as they were lied to be the CCP about their futures due to how hard it is now to find a job. China has fallen off a cliff since Xi took power... and he might not last that much longer.

Secondly, China is far too reliant on exports and much of the rest of the world is getting fed-up with the CCP's dumping practices that destroys local industries because they can't compete with the state-subsidizes Chinese firms.

Thirdly, another reason why there is population decline in China, is the same as it is for all totalitarian dictatorships and communist societies, people think it is morally wrong to bring children into such societies only to have a life of oppression, slavery, and drudgery, plus it is simply too expensive to do now with little state support... not just China, but many in the West think that far-lefty liberalism will not serve any children they have well either, and also too expensive.

People need to believe there is a good future to invest and spend, once they don't believe that anymore, then people start saving. All a self-made problem by these incompetent governments all round the world... what goes around comes around, and people will react after a while.

You have obviously never been there. The one child program ended years ago, the savings rate is high and people are looking for investments.

But they are not now looking towards the US for those investments or business opportunities!

Nice cherry picking of one sentence and the one-child policy only ended like in 2010, but Chinese people aren't interested in the CCP's U-turn... damage has already been done. Looks like the pro-CCP bots on here won't like the truth in that post and will deny everything... hope they are getting paid enough.

If you think that the CCP bot farms are not targeting ASEAN Now with properganda, then you are deluded. They are targeting everywhere and every online outlet from Youtube to this forum to anywhere they can try to bend opinion... paying people to do it too. How deluded some people are.

Still never been there, your blather is meaningless.

Clearly your comprehension levels are compromised... but I would expect nothing less though from a CCP apologist. As usual with you lot, it's attack the poster, not the content. Please come up with an argument that is credible to what was posted rather than just insulting the other poster... if not, then that is the height of failure.

Oh no, I know plenty about that totalitarian communist sanctuary, and don't need to justify myself to you. Again, please post relevent and meaningful discussion on post content, rather than just personal insults, which is against the forum rules.

Like you give a crap about some guy that makes bikes that the left would only want made illegal anyway. I hate loud Harley type of bikes. If you are trying to get a rise out of me talk about avocados.

 

Of course the tariff strategy is unpredictable. That is largely by design. 

 

I thought only Trump ran his piehole without thinking.

Another person attack... how about you address the content hero? Show us what you know? Or is it nothing? So many wise guys on here that post with not much to say. Dare you to post something credable and constructive instead of your usual BS.

You made an accusation about those who disagree with you being bots while griping about personal attacks.

It's not me being the hypocrite.

 

As for China's economic problems. Yes, it has serious problems that someday may undo the progress it's made. But not for awhile. And has often been pointed out, it's not Xi who faces midterms.
