China says Trump forces its hand, will retaliate against new U.S. tariffs
Yawen Chen, David Lawder



BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China said on Tuesday that it had no choice but to retaliate against new U.S. trade tariffs, raising the risk that U.S. President Donald Trump could soon impose duties on virtually all of the Chinese goods that America buys.

The Chinese commerce ministry’s statement came hours after Trump said he was imposing 10 percent tariffs on about $200 billion worth of imports from China, and threatened duties on about $267 billion more if China retaliated against the U.S. action.

The brief statement gave no details on China’s plans, but Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a news briefing later that the U.S. steps have brought “new uncertainty” to talks between the two countries.

“China has always emphasized that the only correct way to resolve the China-U.S. trade issue is via talks and consultations held on an equal, sincere and mutually respectful basis. But at this time, everything the United States does not give the impression of sincerity or goodwill,” he added.

The notion of China as an emergent world power is a fantasy
driven by jurno jackasses grinding their ax about US decline.

This from the country that openly steals shit from everyone and resells it at a fraction of the cost to undermine them.

I spent many months in China in 2016.

China needs US business more than we need Chinese products.
This will be short term pain for US consumers. In the mid-term, it'll force businesses to find other countries with cheap labor.

In the long run this will change China

You echo what the author of the linked article said. http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,332542.msg1797559.html#msg1797559 (http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,332542.msg1797559.html#msg1797559)

I have battled with a lot of posters on these threads by my support of the tariffs, and it seems rarely do they see the long game being played by Trump.  They cry "Give me cheap China goods today and forever". @kidd

We need to keep the pressure on the Chinamen now.  They need us far more than we need their cheap ass products.
