CNBC needs to hire better translators. Everything that comes out of those Chinese officials' mouth just sound so ridiculous aside from the fact that they are ridiculous to begin with. LOL
we don’t have things they can’t produce, the things they want we don’t sell them. i remember even apple powerpc was classified as super computer and wouldn’t sell them. but statistically the semiconductor sector has a long running surplus with china until recently, maybe cheetos first term changed that. and us engery agr products.
Like I said, the Chinese people will suffer and that's the saddest part. They worked and are still working so hard to prop up the country just for their government to throw all that away for the sake of its ego and image. This is very typical of all the autocratic regimes that USA has fought throughout the years. They always end up putting their people up as their meatshield for them to hide behind to fire their puny shots.
I think its damn funny when Trump supporters go all snowflaky when free speech is getting practised. But hey I guess Free Speech ain't allowed when it goes against Trump and his policies. Nothing new there from the Department for Doublespeak and Hypocrisy. TIME No, Trump Did Not ‘Bring Back Free Speech’ In President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, he bragged about restoring “free speech” to the United States. “I’ve stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America,” Trump said. “It’s back.” But this claim couldn’t be further from the truth. Trump has consistently rewarded speech he likes while punishing speech he doesn’t. That kind of “viewpoint discrimination” is exactly what the First Amendment seeks to prevent. In fact, Trump’s actions run counter to the spirit—if not the text—of the First Amendment. Since taking office on Jan. 20, Trump has operationalized his long-held animosity for the tenets of the First Amendment, attacking the independent press, free speech, and peaceful protest. First is Trump’s fight with the Associated Press (AP), the country’s preeminent news service and grammatical standard-setter. On Inauguration Day, Trump issued an executive order “restoring names that honor American greatness.” He renamed the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” and Denali’s name to Mount McKinley after the Obama administration changed the name of the Alaskan peak to its Athabascan name in 2015. While the AP decided to honor the McKinley name change since the mountain lies specifically within U.S. borders, it detracted from the administration on the Gulf of Mexico decision due to the body of water’s nature as an “international body.” The White House retaliated against the AP, kicking its reporters out of presidential briefings in the Oval Office and aboard Air Force One. Trump’s animosity toward the First Amendment also extended to its guarantee of peaceable assembly. “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday, hours before his speech. “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on [sic] the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Trump has repeatedly criticized protests on college campuses, particularly those taking issue with Israel’s war in Gaza. “Trump’s latest coercion campaign, attempting to turn university administrators against their own students and faculty, harkens back to the McCarthy era and is at odds with American constitutional values and the basic mission of universities,” wrote Cecillia Wang, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, in a statement. The First Amendment is meant to protect people from the government telling them what speech and ideas are acceptable. Our freedoms are robust, but Trump is seemingly chipping away at them in whatever way he can. At minimum, he’s a thorn in the side of Americans’ civil liberties. And at worst, he’s seeking an Orwellian level of control over what Americans say and write in public. https://time.com/7264811/trump-free-speech-joint-address-essay/
I know. That's the sad part. Don't worry about my 401k. I am a trader. I make money no matter what happens. Unlike China, we are allowed to trade both ways.
At least we are allowed to speak in the USA unlike in China where you get arrested in the middle of the night for posting a tiny little message in wechat.
