Almost got it.

 

China on Monday warned other countries against making trade deals with the United States to China’s detriment.

 

Negotiate trade deals to their heart's content, they are sovereign nations.  But if they appease Trump by signing deals to reduce tariffs which require countries to exclude trade with China or increase their own tariffs on China, then of course, there will be a response.

Beijing warns countries against colluding with US to restrict trade with China

Beijing has warned its trading partners against succumbing to US pressure to isolate China in President Donald Trump’s tariff war, as part of its carrot-and-stick approach to win over countries caught between the world’s two largest economies.

Commenting on recent media reports about the Trump administration’s plans to pressure countries into restricting trade with China in exchange for exemptions from US tariffs, a spokesperson for China’s Commerce Ministry said on Monday: “Appeasement does not bring peace, and compromise does not earn respect.”

..

“China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China’s interests. If such a situation arises, China will not accept it and will resolutely take reciprocal countermeasures,” the spokesperson added.

You really are delusional in your claims. China has stated bluntly that no negation are being held and have also taken action to defend their position. That includes warning their trade partners that if they negotiate with trump over tariffs they will be acted on by China. I guess you dont stay up with current events if doesn't come from Trump? 

 

How low you have sunk, liberals, that you now in your pathological hatred of all things Trump, you have to pretend that the words of a Chinese communist party spokesman are the gospel truth, lol.

 

I suppose you believe them too when CCP spokesmen say the Chinese have total respect for human rights, that China does not depend on American technology, know how and capital and that the Uighurs are treated wonderfully?

 

When they said China was a leader in the response to climate change, did you believe them too?

 

The Communist party of China is an abject liar.

 

Of course they want to pretend they're not talkiing to the US, after they got slapped sideways, up and down, by Trump, it's humiliating for them to admit they will still come to the table and ask the big bad man with the long nose for a slice of American cake, pretty please, but come they will. Just you wait. You will look so foolish, like all these fools who claim China won't negotiate with the US, and when the Chinese come to beg for their slice of American pie I will be sure to remind everyone of you and all the other fools who claimed they wouldn't do so.

Ha ha ha, good one! You can come out now and admit you are just a parody account as surely no one can be so arrogant, gullible and deluded. Do you go to bed at night chanting "USA! USA!"?

Nice word salad when you have nothing else to support any of your posts.

 

Im not a liberal to start with which I've told you several times. Im an ex republican that left after Trump and the party sold out all their values. 

 

As for China, its sad that you are so consumed with trump tunnel vision that you cant even recognize facts when they are directly in front if you. 

 

Trump is the one that started the mess with his ridiculous tariff actions. A number of countries have told him to pound sand and he has caved on his position a number of times already with more to come. The only unknown is who he will blame for his failure.

 

Will China negotiate a new trade agreement at some point, yes but not under trumps terms. They are not current and Trump is the one backtracking on his position. 

 

You spout bs and verbal diarrhea just like Trump when you cant respond with any facts. Your time is up as you have no valid position to discuss

Interesting move from Beijing; considering suspending tariffs on certain US goods, such as medical devices (WTO for years have been pushing for elimination of tariffs on humanitarian goods). Markets has risen in the mere expectation. China is asking companies to identify which goods woud qualify.

 

China is looking for tariff free trade. That's not what the American leader wants, because he's told everyone tariffs are permanent, tariffs will pay off national debt and tariffs will replace taxation.

Trump suggests tariffs can help solve rising child care costs in a major economic speech

September 6, 2024

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump suggested to business leaders Thursday that his plans to increase tariffs on foreign imports would solve seemingly unrelated challenges such as the rising cost of child care in the U.S. <SKIP>

 

“Child care is child care, it’s something you have to have in this country. You have to have it,” he said. Then, he said his plans to tax imports from foreign nations at higher levels would “take care” of such problems.

 

“We’re going to be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s — relatively speaking — not very expensive, compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in,” he said.

This is what happens when you stand up against a bully, and the bully decides that you are the stronger.

 

The bully folds and scuttles away to look for weaker victims to prey on.

 

Now if all the countries that Trump is bullying stand together against him he loses completely and everybody except the bully wins.

 

Even the population of the USA win. Only Trump and his sycophants lose, which is how it should be.

 

As for the Trump supporters here on AN, they are shrieking louder and louder and making more and more preposterous claims, in a vain attempt to turn back the tide to their masters version of winning.

 

Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be so many of them lately.

Not long ago, Trumpers were all exhilarated at the thought of Trump showing his strength and determination, and were claiming that the whole world would bend to his will (even before his inauguration). "There's a man at the wheel"! 🤣

Well, not so low as to believe Trump isn't an abject liar. I don't think there's any need to produce evidence. He provides falsehoods daily. And if I had to choose between Trump's version and Bessent's version, I know which one the odds would favor as being truthful.

Sure, Trump lies. Every head of state HAS to lie, there is no leeway not to. You think Biden did not lie, Kamala did not lie? Obama did not lie? They all lied.

 

And yet, Trump has a heart of gold and is more trustworthy, he has a record of doing what he said he would. When it comes to the important things you can rely on Trump. 

 

The Chinese communist party however, well, everyone knows their record of untruths.

I agree that Politicians are "economical with the truth" or use "terminological inexactitudes" to obfuscate but Trump has taken it to beyond Olympic Gold medal status.

He is the greatest liar in the world and obviously the least trustworthy one ever.

Nobody lies with the amazing frequency of Trump. And nobody persists in repeating those lies like Trump. At least I hope they are lies. There is the scary possibility, maybe even the likelihood that he believes what he invents.
