China says there are no negotiations with the US over tariffs

a year ago by vegeta to c/politics

China has denied U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertion that the two sides were involved in active negotiations over tariffs, saying that any suggestion of progress in this matter was as groundless as “trying to catch the wind.”

I wonder what would happen if the world just kind of ignored him? Imagine that... Just do what China's doing. No interaction. No deals, no negotiations. Just silent chuckling and finger pointing with whiskey's in hand.

Then things will soon get very tough, especially for ordinary US citizens and the socially disadvantaged in particular. Trump's idiotic power games are largely at the expense of US citizens.

This is already evident from the fact that his import tariffs are in principle nothing more than a massive VAT increase.

It will be very tough. Hell, it already is. Maybe the american people will at some point finally do something about it? I personally don't want anyone to go through any of this crap, but here we are. All self inflicted, too.

Good. Maybe something will finally happen to address this nonsense then.

Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake

the US barely produces anything worth a shit anyway. so no need for imports. sure exporting to the US can bring in good money but they need the rest of the world much more than the rest of the world needs them. just let them take themselves out of the world economy and deal as if they never existed. the world would be better for it.
