FANTASTIC!! Good job Donald Trump. Please increase it to 25%.

Posted by DickyMe > 2019-08-02 11:08 | Report Abuse

LOL!! He had already imposed 25% on $250 Billion worth of imports and added another 10% on $300 B. Donald already did what he said. Why are you disappointed if it does not affect you?

The trade war is on going.... . It is just matters how fast it is moving iirrespective whether Xi or Trump still in office. Basically, key deciding factor still is feeling of Anti China Sentisement in USA on the persist threat from China.

Xi misguided by his advisor on China on vast market, thought all country will not miss its market. USA hide his stretegy on Technology Strength well in the past & not let his enemy know. EU better (especially French & Germany) better surrender to US fast. US can simply break EU using divide and Rule stretegy. Also, EU also is depend on US on persist military threat from Russia.

Trade war mean more us rate cut. Same for here. It is matters of time for BNM to cut rate again.

Come on. Trump is just using the trade war to force US Federal Reserve to cut more rates.

Although he didn't know that will push the global economy into the drain as the price to pay for.

Trump later told reporters he could further ratchet up the tariff rate - even beyond 25 percent - depending on progress in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“I think President Xi ... wants to make a deal, but frankly, he’s not going fast enough,” Trump said.

It's all in the Panda Bear faced man's hand.

Slow death ? What slow death ? China is laughing all the way to the bank

To understand why china yawns at trump's tariff , you need to look at figures

In 2018, china total export is USD2,300 bil

Export to US is USD500 bil

Meaning 22% of its total export is to US, while 78% (USD1,800 bil) is to the rest of the world

In 2018, when trump attacked china by imposing tariff , RMB to USD exchange rate declined from 6 to 7, a drop of 15%

What is the implication ?

Fair enough, its USD500 bil export to US suffered. Let's say it suffered by 25% x USD500 bil. It is equivalent to USD125 bil

But due to decline in RMB，the profit margin of its remaining export to the rest of the world experience huge expansion. For simplistic comparison purpose, 15% x USD1,800 bil = USD270 bil

Let me sum it up for you : Penalty by US is USD125 bil, while gain from rest of the world is USD270 bil

If you are China, won't you yawn at Trump's tariff ?

As a matter of fact, by attacking china, trump did a big favour for china

Imagine the number one superpower of the world attacked china for one full year, and yet china still standing tall and go about life as normal

now the whole world can see how strong and resilient china is

It is akin to a big, free adverstisement for china to promote its soft power

Deep from its heart, China say "Thank you very much Donal trump "

PRC's response.

"PRC Scraps US Pork Orders in Record Scale".
China is drawing back her booking orders for 14,700 tonnes of U.S. pork, scheduled for shipment in 2019 and 2020, said foreign media.

This was said to be the largest booking withdrawal by China since 2013, according to the statistics of U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Spot on, Icon8888. In fact, PRC did not manipulate RMB. They just let RMB slide by itself. The issue then was "no forex intervention by PRC could mean forex intervention ? "
