Vast majority of people are stupid and easily manipulated, so I guarantee you that Republicans' nicknames of Biden would stick if he dropped the tariffs.
Maybe against low-information voters, yes. However, if you present the facts of how the trade war is a unmitigated disaster, then you can override low-level smears amongst the more educated voter base that watch the presidential debates. The media reports on presidential debates too, so all Biden needs is a strong one-line zinger about trade war failure to be viral.
Right, just like calling "Beijing Biden" help Trump win the 2020 election. It's been tried, it failed. You can't exclusively rely on low-level smears.
Not sure if you forgot about partial lifting of tariffs.
Sadly, it's a possibility. In hindsight, China should have developed and used its own submarine engines in the contract deal. The days where western companies are willing/allowed to sell their high end tech products to China are over. Now Chinese companies need to be self-sufficient especially in the critical tech sector..
Especially if Germany didn't previously signal this, which it seems they didn't, this requires a retaliation. $400 million is a lot.
Do you think you know something the NPC (the body that sets China's military budget) doesn't? If so, what is it?
Dude, I lived in America for a number of years and am assuming you're in America as well. I can't recall the last time "facts" have persuaded the American voters of "doing or voting for the right reasons" in like ever. Bush Jr. won because of Clinton blow job fatigue with an added helped from the Supreme Court that installed Bush Jr. He then proceeded to invade countries based on LIES but because Americans were acting so insecure after the 9/11 attack they blindly went along with Bush Jr's nonsensical rationale of "better fight them over there than to fight the terrorists in their country" as if the terrorists were going to commision a flight on Terrorists C-5/C-17 and parachute their way into America. That spiel never made any logical sense but the Americans with all their supposed wisdom bought it enough to even re-elect the War Criminal even after finding out their President lied to them!!
Ok, that's good. BoraTas pointed out that Thailand prefers German engines because their existing vessels use it. So that might be the reason.
Here @escobar little Russia is having this effect on the global supply chain with respect to global sales of automobiles which has severe ramifications for all major automobile manufacturers in the world most especially in Germany. A country who's major companies are in the auto industry 2020, the auto sector listed turnover of EUR 379.3 billion – around 20 percent of total German industry revenue. Germany is Europe's number one automotive market, accounting for around 25 percent of all passenger cars manufactured (3.5million) and approximately 20 percent of all new car registrations (2.9million). Moreover, and equally important More than 930,000 people work directly or indirectly in the auto sector, while 40% of Germany's overall research and development (R&D) expenditure is made by the industry.
