"They" didn't treat America "bad" at all. America was always in control of the negotiations. Our leaders hosed us all over for their political gains (as always).
US Chamber of Commerce rejects Trump calls for US firms to find alternatives to China, "continued constructive engagement is the right way forward"
Everyone says that Fed should raise interest rates so we have some fuel. Trump is looking at it from the perspective of "we can afford to destroy the economy to handle the China problem". Only issue is that it might be too little, too late to handle China.
Waiting on the 25% tariffs on ALL Chinese products. China dragging its foot hoping President Donald Trump loses! The US can wait but, 25% tariffs on ALL Chinese products need to be imposed now for maximum pain! Let the Chinese wait all they want after that! I will twiddle my thumb while, the Chinese economy implodes! Should be fun! Chinese economy would be destroyed by the time, they come to their senses to sign that fair trade deal! With or without a deal, the US wins! It is called leverage. The US spends $500 billion in Chinese goods each year. Those same goods are manufactured in other countries. What happens when Chinese goods become too expensive relative to other countries goods? Some dumb idiots will still buy Chinese goods. I will buy goods from other countries because it will help destroy the Chinese economy! So, China can sign that fair trade deal and they best do so, before 25% tariffs are imposed on ALL Chinese products or else, US will just impose the rest of the tariffs and call it a day!
