Well said Burnt. I remember back in 1992 I was working in a machine shop when Clinton passed NAFTA. They fired everyone, came in, un-bolted the machines from the floor and shipped them to China. So now China raises tariffs to 125%? (mehhh) The news media forgets that the "China Problem" has been around a long time.

True that Ben. I don't think it's Kabuki, China is very evil and is not our friend.
Just today I was thinking back about the Hainan Island incident in 2001, when China forced down the U.S. AWACS plane. They did return the plane, but it was as a box of parts.
In 2014 China began huge cement construction projects on the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, on which they mounted anti-aircraft guns. Yikes.
China hacked the plans for the F-35 fighter. In reality, China has been attacking the United States for a long time.
This is one of the bigest "No Shit" stories of the century.
Of course China wants to knock us down, of course they want to dominate the world. It is their charter, to destroy pure independent capitalism in favor of socialism. They are human, they want to knock the USA off the mountain.
They are also much smarter than the recent years in the Deep State. The Bomb eliminates the possibility of all out war to challenge the US. So what to do?
Use the USA's own beliefs against it. America's (and Canada's) own open societies are simply being bought out and infiltrated by Chinese invaders. We believe in democracy, the vote. So all the Chinese, or Indians need to do is just load up the political arena with the invasion and voila, it becomes China. Hawaii is already there, California and the West Coast is rapidly moving there.
The main objective of China right now, while its world occupation program is running, is Taiwan. The ONLY stake in the ground the USA has put up against them. That is being accomplished easily by surrounding Taiwan with army and navy units and just waiting. In the meantime, last week, the Chinese, Japanese and SOKO signed a mutaul economic support agreement. They again are playing the long game, knowing from Vietnam and Afghanistan that eventually the USA will give way and ALL their aims will be achieved. Who know, by then, they may own the world and the USA with it.
Sidebar - Look no futher than Michigan and Minnesota to see the Muslims doing the same thing. or the Southwest and Texas to see Mexico doing the same thing. I am not there yet, but could a conspiracy theorist come up with a world wide co-operation happening to tear down the current King of the Mountain?

Will Trump succeed in busting up China's grab for world domination?
Trump's sweeping tariffs take effect, Japan among 1st to negotiate
I honestly do not know. China, for the past couple of decades has out-foxed the American Deep State over and over again. BRICS+, East Africa, Panama, Canada, Europe, The Silk Road, Now SOKO and Japan? I wonder just how much China shenanigans the Left was going to let happen if Trump had been defeated? Would BidenтАЩs Mob have given us away?
Think about Toyota and all the other corporations in Japan. Losing the uSA would be a catastrophe for them. Of course they will negotiate quickly. Besides, they know the Chinese have long memories.
Do you not see that the 2030 Agenda entailed China, the US, and India, the тАЬGroup of ThreeтАЭ, to rule the world? If you agree, do you think that China would accept the power sharing arrangement, or do you think that China's plan was to sucker punch the US and India?
Never in the history of Mankind has power been shared for any period of time. No, I do not believe that China or India or the USA will share global power, there is only one king of the mountain. The candy ass Deep State of the USA has allowed China to come close to the US in global power, if not surpass them.
My guesses go further. I have posted I believe in a tri-partite world and amended that to quatra-partite. I believe that Europe has much more in common with Russia than the US and will join in with them. The USA is going to push hard to unify the Americas, starting with Canada and Mexico. Then China will unify East Asia. The fourth is India, and I do not have a clue who they will ally with.
Couple of corollaries, in the world of competition, Canada has to choose who to go with, same with Greenland. The USA has protected both since WW2, so it is not a simple answer. MY guess is that the USA may just take both of them along with Mexico in an alliance similar to the EU. IMHO, without the USA support, all three better start learning Mandarin. China, Japan and SOKO are already moving together, how soon will pressure mount on the USA to just give Taiwan to China? Taiwan is necessary today for chips, however start-ups are happening in the US right now, two in Phoenix.
See, that's the thing. China doesn't buy much product from the US or EU, but they sell us a ton of theirs. That has ramifications I haven't figured out.
Leadership throughout the world is either part of the solution, or part of the problem. I suspect that Trump's agenda regarding tariffs entails identification of the enemy.
Oho, you are onto something. Is there a world wide effeort to tear down the King of the Mountain? Does Trump see it and is putting out the word to the world that they are messing with the bull and might just get the horn?
In Trump terms, Knock off the bullshitting around, world, and learn to live with each other.
Your first question? Nope, because for every Trump there is a Bernie Sanders promoting AOC. Oh my, what a combination. But 20-25% of the American people think they are just wonderful. America was founded on the principle that diverse opinions can be heard and solutions worked out. Today, that basic tenet of the FF is under intense scrutiny. Same around the rest of the world.
Are the leaders the problem, yes and no. Autocratic leaders fear changes to their rule, they deny that opposition forces exist and when faced with them, try to destroy them. BUT, the people are always the last word heard, ask Louis the 16th, or the leaders of the USSR, or RomeтАЩs emperors, or Athens, or the last Pharoahs. Leaders can be big problems as well as economic blocs, but eventually the people rule, one way or the other. IMHO, the FF wanted to avoid another revolution by making the USA a national of the vote, of control by the people. THAT is what is under assault today by the Left, no the Deep State. Vote against the Deep State, in all forms. Vote against the Ult-Left. Vote against RINOs. Vote against people who tell you that the government will take care of you if you vote for me. Vote against uncontrolled diversity, vote for the common culture. Vote for workfare. Vote for controlled decrease in federal spending. Vote for constant interest rates and taxation. Vote for a controlled border.
I would like an unbiased view of just how powerful AIPAC is in the USA? JHK, can you do that in one of your posts? I, for one, do not believe it is as powerful as some say.
"China is being obstinate, and it does not make any sense unless it is just kabuki theater of the absurd." ~ Ben
"Brende is a Norwegian politician, former trade minister, and former minister of foreign affairs. He formerly advocated for China, the US, and India, the тАЬGroup of ThreeтАЭ as he has deemed them, to step up and take on WEF initiatives in hopes that the rest of the world would follow. "
How about Xi and China's vision of ruling the world? Just because US citizens have rejected "Joe Biden's" vision of implementing the 2030 Agenda, doesn't mean that his cohorts have conceded their power grab.
The citizens of the world are the victims of leadership who are vying for the ultimate power grab: Rulers of the world.
So, the question is: Which leader are you willing to support? And, what vision has your chosen leader "painted" that prompts you to support him/her?
ME? I want no part of any oligarchical socialistic system anywhere. I do not care who carries the banner. Trump, and MAGA, carry the torch right now, the only American group to do so, so I am behind Trump exclusively.
When does support for an avowed enemy become treason?
AND the idea of globalism sucks, the idea that the hundreds of differing cultures could ever see eye to eye on anything. The EU is doing a terrific job of showing how useless globalism is. Next will be when China asks Putin to take a back seat to Chinese projects, like the development of Europe and Siberia. Xi has a major problem, what the heck to do with his overpopulation.
Can you imagine every village micromanaging the outcome of the war in the ME?
Seems that global management will be a requirement for success, and success of global management will require that citizens get to pull the plug on management, and that will require that MSM be subject to prosecution for treason.
"When does support for an avowed enemy become treason?" ~ JohnAZ
What is the solution? Inform the population. How can one inform the population, when the problem can not even be identified?
The first step is to identify the problems. Can the majority come to a consensus on this? JHK is doing his part. I hear Trump, but it seems that a significant percent of the population have TDS, and do not. Is MSM committing treason? JHK's post/s details what Trump is doing about it.

What does China actually buy from the US?

In many ways. I think they use invasive plants and insects to harm us too
I know they sabotage us by selling us grossly inferior products of a plethora of types.
"I know they sabotage us by selling us grossly inferior products of a plethora of types." ~ Colleen Sirna
Perhaps in some instances.
They wouldn't be selling them to us if we didn't buy them.
There are a variety of reasons this has been happening. What actions do you see that Trump is taking to address these issues?
"In reality, China has been attacking the United States for a long time."
Thank you for saying this. Kissinger promoted the PRC since the Nixon era.

In a really stupid decision US Chicken manufacturing decided to send poultry products to China to be butchered.
Seems like most of the food coming from China is flawed and or contaminated.
Most of the products are poorly made and break.
I have had a suspicion for years they use a lot of recycled electronic parts in new products.
I'm good with doing without much of what China makes as long as the Americas tool up and begin to make everything.
Probably because they know the Joe Average in the USA does not know.. Not until America builds things for Americans will quality truly count.
AND food decays as soon as picked, so why are we buying any foodstuffs from outside the USA unless absolutely necessary, like bananas or coffee.
Yeah, they are interested in being ruled by the Rothschilds. They MUST be evil. Good thinking, Bin.

Oho, you are onto something. Is there a world wide effeort to tear down the King of the Mountain? Does Trump see it and is putting out the word to the world that they are messing with the bull and might just get the horn?
If a vote by the citizens of the world determined the outcome, would there be peace throughout the world?
Are the leaders, and a handful of power hungry citizens the problem?
My read is that Trump wants peace throughout the world, and he wants the countries of the world to get down to the business of doing business.
In Trump terms, Knock off the bullshitting around, world, and learn to live with each other.
