"The Ambassador and Secretary then had a working dinner with Vice Premier Liu He, and agreed to continue discussions tomorrow morning at USTR." China's Ministry of Commerce followed, two minutes after midnight Eastern time, with a statement, saying, "China deeply regrets that it will have to take necessary countermeasures." Quote The meeting comes on the heels of the president unexpectedly announcing plans to raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods -- ranging from textiles to chemicals -- from 10% to 25%. ... "The escalation of trade friction is not in the interests of the people of the two countries and the people of the world," the ministry said. "The Chinese side deeply regrets that if the US tariff measures are implemented, China will have to take necessary countermeasures." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I’m apart of a consumer tech association and they’re starting to freak out over this latest round. Things are going to get very expensive at the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Talk about political dumbassery. Trump, dude, you’ve got a booming economy—wait till *after* the election to incite a recession with the tariffs, like a normal self-serving politico.

Maybe he really, honest to god just doesn't understand that tariffs are a tax on us, not China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 If you're going to get into a trade war, the current economic conditions could not be more ideal for it. This is by far the "smartest" thing this administration has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
