the world is too relitant on chinese trade

2018-12-20 23:26:41 UTC  

You say that, but the US in particular already has the foundations of self-reliant industry

2018-12-20 23:26:53 UTC  

We literally dismantled key parts of our manufacturing industry and sold it to China

2018-12-20 23:26:55 UTC  

Before (((globalism))) tore it apart

2018-12-20 23:27:09 UTC  

The tools to make the tools

2018-12-20 23:27:25 UTC  

Well that and western worker unions make it financial suicide to hire western workers

2018-12-20 23:27:41 UTC  

You can hire a chink for pennies on the dollar

2018-12-20 23:27:58 UTC  

Apple probably could make their shit in the us and still make bank at their same prices

2018-12-20 23:27:58 UTC  

Yup

2018-12-20 23:28:07 UTC  

Sure

2018-12-20 23:28:25 UTC  

Well, it’d probably be twice the price at the end of the day

2018-12-20 23:28:29 UTC  

It's not impossible, but with a proper economic reform you could readily bring US business back to the mainland

2018-12-20 23:28:41 UTC  

Doubtful

2018-12-20 23:28:45 UTC  

How would that benefit the rich at the top though?

2018-12-20 23:28:50 UTC  

The smart plan is to simply disalign manufacturing from China and instead to other countries for cheap labor but no china

2018-12-20 23:28:59 UTC  

Just need to even the scales out between business and workers, then tax the ever loving shit out of export/import

2018-12-20 23:29:02 UTC  

The US is now a service economy

2018-12-20 23:29:21 UTC  

It’d be a generational thing with a lot of pain in the middle.

2018-12-20 23:29:38 UTC  

Do not tax the ever loving shit out of export/import, that aluminum tax was fucking brutal

2018-12-20 23:29:51 UTC  

I mean shit, could probably just destroy the economy and rebuild it faster than reforming it

2018-12-20 23:30:06 UTC  

@Livid La Vida Loca and other countries start shifting tariffs to make things even more difficult

2018-12-20 23:30:53 UTC  

Unironically though, tariffs on China hurt them more than us, because they have basically no domestic enterprise. It's all foreign manufacturing.

2018-12-20 23:31:21 UTC  

rofl whats the likelyhood of the chinese economy collapsing

2018-12-20 23:31:28 UTC  

That is true though, their stock market got FUCKED

2018-12-20 23:31:41 UTC  

Funnily, their entire facist commie regime is funded by the capitalist center of the planet... Hong Kong.

2018-12-20 23:31:53 UTC  

ironic

2018-12-20 23:32:32 UTC  

Communist China has a an unusual amount of billionaires, kinda makes you do a big fuckin' think

2018-12-20 23:33:26 UTC  

Also, most of their foreign business interests that are causing economic damage, are state funded. And it's getting to the point that a lot of Western nations are starting to delcare those chink businesses as enemies of the state.

2018-12-20 23:33:51 UTC  

tfw you overplay your hand and threaten your entire economy because you're a greedy chink

2018-12-20 23:35:28 UTC  

rofl you know about china building ghost cities

2018-12-20 23:35:37 UTC  

to keep their GDP high

2018-12-20 23:35:44 UTC  

What

2018-12-20 23:35:50 UTC  

yeah

2018-12-20 23:36:02 UTC  

22 percent of all homes in china arnt in use

2018-12-20 23:36:06 UTC

2018-12-20 23:36:19 UTC  

Yup

2018-12-20 23:36:39 UTC  

They're literally cheating

2018-12-20 23:36:59 UTC  

Their growth is like a cancerous boil, yes it's growing but it's not good.

2018-12-20 23:37:17 UTC  

Some fucking Nork levels of "we all fine ching chong"

2018-12-20 23:38:19 UTC
