In fact if the West never takes action like this there is no reason for the Chinese to play fair.
How is the US 'playing fair' though when it imposes massive tariffs on countries the world over from China to Germany to Denmark?
The US has never played 'fair' in any way, has it, and is merely using its massive market size to bully the rest of the world to accept terms beneficial to only itself. Fairness doesn't come into it at all. China is the recipient of tariffs, just like Germany, France, Canada and many of the American's most trusted allies. How is this fair?
Are you phocking kidding us - the USA has a $21 Trillion Deficit - $21 Trillion in missing black projects debt and $200 Trillion in unfunded liabilities - why because the USA was an open market since WWII with Minimal Tariffs coming into the USA that rebuilt Germany France UK Italy et al in the EU, and Japan, Korea then China and pretty much all of Latin and South America - not just coffee and bananas but car parts from Mexico and Brazil and textiles/shoes etc.
All the while NAFTA offered backdoor access to the Communist Freaking Red Chinese who set up subsidiary companies in Canada and Mexico to get into the USA markets via the NAFTA back door... USMCA claims to have cut some of these NAFTA back door excesses but remains to be seen what the CFRC's Lobbyists and bought and paid for Leftist Senators and House Reps do to modify the USMCA.
Bottom line the USA vis POTUS Trump is merely demanding fair and balanced trade via reciprocal Tariff structures and minimal trade barriers the Mainstay of both the EU, Major Asian and Latin/South American countries. They export to us relatively Duty and Tariff and obstructive trade regulations free and they HAMMER the USA in return as their idea of reciprocity.
The Munts in control of the Chinese Communist Politburo all have their panties in a twist because Wowway or Huawei is one of their largest sources of graft - er ah tribute or should I say Lobbyists revenues to fund the Communist officials lavish lifestyles
Phock that horse manure - Trump is right as usual.
