Why is Biden ratcheting up the trade war with China? | Counting the Cost


Chinese imports have helped push down the cost of products like video games, T-shirts and home appliances in the United States. But many American factories say these imports have driven them out of business and cost more than a million people their jobs.

President Joe Biden says he will not allow China to “unfairly control the market”.

Biden Like Money 💴💵🪙💰

@AlialiBinladen

35 Trillions in debt 💸 who?They don’t even have a proper transportation infrastructure forget about high speed trains 🚆.Corrupt politicians that are owned.All I am saying is corporations and billionaires are the owners of the country 🇺🇸

@rubylaser8601

The trade santions worked. Since sanctioned, the foreign investments have been moving to other countries. Very quickly China's foreign investment will go down to zero.

@SunnyLpk-n5u

because he is a idiot

@ganeshbasyal6316

USA which is first world highly developed country in the world is saying it's unfair to do business with developing country like 🇨🇳. Why does US subsidies BOEING then?

@slc801

They use “ national security“ ! when they can’t compete before they supported free trade now it’s protectionism when they’re loosing

@slc801

How many times has the US government bailout the auto industry ? Now they are subsidizing the chip industry ! Pot calling kettle black 😜

@Liam-zw1ek

The US has never been so much about fair economic policy, as they have been about exploiting trade partners and bullying them when they don't comply.

@joechan3388

Biden's miserable 面相 reflects the state of the USA. If the USA wants to reverse its miserable decline, the first step the Americans need to pick a president with more present 面相。

The "pundit" in Seoul needs to answer the question that If the USA does not worry Chinese goods going into the USA, then why does the USA penalize those goods by impose illegal tariff under the WTO rules?

@dojdjie

You impose tariff and ask others to cooperate?

@kin9225

If you couldn’t answer a question, just use National security as an excuse!

@hclau218

what a piece of nonsensical propaganda.

People who can compete wins the trade war. If you can pass the job interview, you get the job. Right?

@chanvic5105

how can you win the war while you dont know your competitor

@vickipu

The US has an overcapacity of weapons

@ironsoldi3r913

The reason why NAFTA was passed because globalization is necessary to lower product cost. Charging China tariffs cost is stupid. It will end costing more US consumers. It’s not China fault by making lower cost product. American failure is blaming China for success in which American who created the stupid rules.

@edlee8949

Looking at the performance of the Dollar and the Yuan and another look at each country's stock market, then you see who is winning.

@123-h5i5y

If it's not due to natural security, its China subsidiies. US has the bigger subsidy to US manufacturers and will find all kind of reasons to take down China's growth. US trying to control inflation and climate change yet it ban solar panels, imposes high tariffs and EVs from China.

@ua697

USA has negative trade balance with China (279.4 billion USD), so I don't think China has anything to win with a trade war with USA 😂

@dirgsuite5546

Why Biden is seeking trade war with China. A desperate move to win the elections. Desperate, because eventually this trade war will harm the US more than China.

@lwnuj503

US in denial…CHN responded well under WTO rules

@jackeydu108

Soon Americans will shift their complaints from the Chinese to the Indians and eventually blame the robots for stealing their jobs, they just won't admit that they are too lazy and fat to lose their jobs, Chinese workers are currently changing careers to do other things because AI robots are gradually starting to take their jobs, so this is the ultimate trend of humans, Robots do all the blue collar jobs, all the humans are in front of the monitors and computers to supervise their work, and then people who don't understand the hardware technology and technology development will be gradually eliminated to the edge and can not survive, this is the direction of the world, BOYS, you better stop complaining like an old woman and start looking for a job.

@allh5891

the us always has all kinds of reason to make trouble for china. if they run out of excuses, there must be some kind of national security issue.🤔

@sportify9999

They forgot competitive production economy😂😂😂😂😂

@loopidoo65

Consumers would get fked, regardless!

China responds!

Keep on reacting, and the US will be screwed!

@plotsual1

What would be the case scenario if USA was in China's EV lead position?

@Khan-w6f9r

US does not want sale high tech products that china wants. That is the reason of unbalanced trade.

@osuk1

US pours all its resources into the military industrial complex and wars.
