Is Josh Hawley secretly our comrade?
Trade War V2 would be very good, for China that is. Imagine Yellen and Powell reacting to another 10% increase in inflation in USWashington lawmakers continue to call for a tariff hike on exports from China.
On Friday evening, following an historic deal sent to President Joe Biden’s desk on Thursday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) delivered an address on the Senate floor calling for a 25 percent increase in on Chinese imports into the U.S. He wants to see the Raising Tariffs on Imports from China Act he introduced in May included as an amendment to the debt ceiling legislation, which will suspend the U.S. debt limit through Jan. 1, 2025.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
China is just responding towards provocations. Don't expect China to back down from confronting the US incursion.
"It won't be long before somebody gets hurt," White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters, referring to what he called "unsafe" and "unprofessional" intercepts by China. "It wouldn't take much for an error in judgment or a mistake to get made."
Kirby said if Beijing wanted to deliver the message that the United States was not welcome in the area or that it wanted U.S. aircraft and vessels to stop flying and sailing in support of international law, that would not succeed. "It's not going to happen," he said.
Looks like the US is at the depression stage of grief now.What's the point of releasing this? To show China is so powerful PLAN can bully USN with impunity now?
How does this help the US? Did Canada jump the shark here?
Or are they just going for the Cultural Revolution strategy of yelling "Down with Chinese Revisionism" and "Smash the dog heads of Chinese Imperialism" in People's Daily? Cos that's what you do when you're too weak to make a meaningful move.
