If goods from China are indispensable, why should China producers lower selling price?

If the goods are replaceable, then compare cost of production, transportation and quality.

Don't tell me US businessmen are so dumb as Donald Duck if they can find alternative source to make more money?

Why German products are so expensive and people still going for them?
Price is a factor, but value for quality is equally important to retain customers....

Teach trump a lesson that you can't bully to get what you want

Geopolitics is different from businesses

Countries got more staying power

They don't succumb so easily

==========

the guy is a bully all his life, not going to change.

the scariest thing is that his best ticket to re election is to thrash China by saying the other side ( Democrats) is too weak......... so, don't count him out yet.

China has figured out that she would rather sacrifice USD500 bil export to US instead of changing its economy by removing subsidies to high tech industries etc

It is worth the pain

Kishore Mahbubani said China is no longer a communist country. CCP should be taken to mean "Chinese Civilisation Party". It is capitalist. It make use of communism to hold the country together so that it won't experience what the USSR sent thru.

I think China take the stance of right rigid decision not to kowtow to prevent them to derail the world at their whim n fancies out of their own weakness....dont even give chance like before for them to print free monies without punishments like before n good if pull out all treasury bills.https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2019/05/13/trade-war-tops-emerging-market-worries-again-as-skepticism-grows/

Perhaps they are worry about digital currency which are open that shows democratic n transparent world to all,so cant print monies as they like n those fake circulations outside can be accounted too!

The 25% tariff additional to Mad Dump dont help much on deficits n fake currency in circulation outside but only hurts the citizens only.Moreover this will open up more free trade access to less developed economy.Mad Dump ,better built no door in your border wall .,,,ok?

margins in China factories very very thin, so there is no way Chinese factories can reduce their prices....tarif or no tarif.

at the end of the day, it is reduced to a textbook case, trade wars and protectionism is a lose lose game,. Everyone loses. World trade will shrink.....

China stands firm....good for them, that is their best strategy already. Try to appease the duck will be worse.


from what I read, the order to stand firm comes directly from Xi...........

I like the guy actually.

Hey, 996 is the theme of the working world in China these days.

America wants to work 8 hours a day for four and half days' week but asking for minimum wages 6 times more than the Chinese.

Surely America will bungkus in no time........
