I never trust the XI to play fair, China will expand retaliation outside tariffs towards US companies based in china and US treasuries, notes and bond held by China........

Buy Gold and enjoy the ride

If China sells UST how will they manage their fake currency?

China is at risk here.

And Chingchongs are not stupid. Also, the Russians learnt their lessons from the USSR times, I do not expect them to repeat the same mistake twice. They trusted.

NOTE: I'm not saying I support who. Just analyzing the players.

No power wishes to lose its status and China has been viewed by America as a threat for long. Besides, a powerful China is a detterent to other plans that the US may have. It is therefore imperative that they should be weakened.

What Trump is saying maybe for the masses but real intentions may be that US is just realigning itself strategically.

Does weaken means others remain where they are? For me, I would rather say, others to rise up: China, Russia etc. Putin himself said: there is need for balance of power in the world to tame the bully. And this is developing slowly... We're headed for the big stand-off.

This is just pure wivu on the part of the US, they refuse to change with the time and adopt new technology and ways of doing things. The systems that made them the dominant economy in the 20th Century are now obsolete, but instead of innovating, they cling to the old way of doing things.

For along time their businesses allowed China to steal their tech because they were making huge profits in that market, and now that China has learnt or improved on what they stole and no longer wants them, they are crying unfair trade practices.

China has 4 times the US population so should atleast have 4 times their GDP for the citizens to be at par yet China is probably currently at 60-70% of US GDP, yet the US feels threatened and would rather the Chinese don't enjoy similar lifestyle.

And by the way the US manufacturing jobs were not lost to China but to automation in the US. The US may currently have less manufacturing jobs but its manufacturing output is still highest it has ever been. And the main reason for shipping most of their jobs overseas is the opposition by Trade Unions and politicians to automation

Why does the US seem to be eager to start wars on so many different fronts?

It's like the kicks of a dying horse. Little wonder Trump won the elections!

I see.

Guess then there are other such concentration camps for Christians too ama?

Just go f*** a Chinese chick who's not a langa and then tell us how it goes.

Based on the below alone China should be affected more
"The U.S. imported a record $539.5 billion in goods from China in 2018. The U.S. is a net importer from China in most market segments such as consumer electronics, apparel, furniture and industrial supplies. The one major exception: agriculture.

By contrast, the U.S. shipped a much smaller $120.3 billion in goods to China last year, Census trade figures showed"

Thus US makes more on the tariff biachara
