On Wednesday, President Trump suddenly announced a 90 -day break on most of his “reciprocal” prices specific to the planned country – with the notable exception of the People's Republic of China. By distinguishing so striking China as the object of economic and geopolitical anger in America, Trump did not simply clarify that the United States considers China and its communist party reigning as our main threat of the 21st century – it also took another notable step towards its own life objective of fundamentally resetting the terms of the American bilateral relationship.
As a New Yorker from “Borough” of Queens, Trump has long seen things differently from most of his brothers in white shoes and his compatriots living through the river (literal and proverbial) in Manhattan. Throughout his entire career, Trump served as “Class caterer” Archetype – someone who, as I wrote in a Test last year“May hold” elite “ruling class references, but whose hearts, minds, concerns and general sensitivities are resolutely with the class of countries.” It is the essence of Trump's nationalist-populist political coalition. But it was also that Trump has been since his first interviews with Tabloids and New York television all these decades.
There is no better example than trade, Trump's most regular political position. In the 1980s, it was alarmed by the rise of Japan as an economic superpower, arguing that America's trade deficit with Japan was problematic and that the United States should respond with paralyzing prices. (It seems that President Reagan, who in 1987 threaded a 100% price on many Japanese products, listened.) In recent decades, Trump has applied the same logic to the new threat of China. In 2011, for example, four years before launching his successful presidential race, Trump Hunted against the manipulation of Chinese currency widely practiced: “They have manipulated their currency so violently towards this country, it is almost impossible for our companies to compete with Chinese companies.”
During the first year of his first presidential mandate, Trump ordered his office of the US trade representative to investigate Chinese business practices. The later report was overwhelming, and Trump implemented many prices on Chinese products – prices which, on his rare credit, President Biden built with other samples from Chinese imports This entered into force last September.
In addition to his prices of the first term, Trump also filed an official case of the World Trade Organization Against China, alleging misleading commercial practices and an intellectual property theft. Like Trump Put it at the time In a tweet: “Today, I ordered the US trade representative to take measures so that countries stop deceiving the system at the expense of the United States!”
The climbing of Trump's prices this week against Communist China – even if it has interrupted many other prices to allow bilateral commercial negotiations and granting nervous bond markets – is a natural highlight of work to reset the American -Chinese economic relationship that it began during its first mandate. Moreover, it is also the natural highest point of its third -day presidential race in 2000 with the party of reform of the trade of trade, as well as its party Interview “Oprah Winfrey Show”where he has teased a future presidential race which would focus on trade. Immigration may be the most easily associated problem with the Mag of Trump, but there is no problem that was closer and more expensive in the heart of Trump during the decades than trade – first with Japan, then with China.
More importantly, Trump was not only frank on the issue of trade with China – it was proven correct.
Since President Nixon's fateful trip to the visit of President Mao Zedong to Beijing in 1972, the American elites of all politicians have promised that the reception of China in the world economy would be good for all parties involved. American consumers, we have been reliably informed, would obtain cheaper and more abundant goods; American exporters would get a new massive and exciting market to peddle their goods; And the Chinese people themselves would soon harvest the fruits of “political liberalization” which could only come from “economic liberalization”. It was the dominant thought when Nixon visited China more than half a century ago, when the administration George W. Bush welcomed China to the World Trade Organization in 2001, and when President Obama welcomed and toasted Xi Jinping in the White House in 2015.
Just say that it didn't work exactly according to the plan.
In Shanghai in 2022, in the middle of the endless covid-19 locking in the communist country, government drones with speakers Overwhelmed: “Control the thirst of your soul for freedom. Do not open your windows and sing.” Chinese companies have engaged in an intellectual property flight in series, the cheeky theft of the trade secrets of American companies and illegally reconditions them for exports at highly subsidized prices.
Tiktok, a particularly problematic Chinese export, is the mental fentanyl designed to hang the Western masses and dumbstile them in toxic ideologies – and spy software from the Communist Party, to start. Speaking of (real) fentanyl, China is largely responsible for this particular drug killing hundreds of thousands of young vulnerable Americans. Meanwhile, China sends “spy balls” through the North American continent and regularly allies with the worst players in the state of the planet. And if that was not enough, the American manufacturing base and the infrastructure of the national security supply chain were decimated – by China.
For too long, the elites led America to a disaster with regard to trade with China. They acted in a myopic and ruinous way, bringing calamity to the nation which they claim to love. The commercial war of America with the Chinese superpower Voyoue must occur. The Chinese Communist Party must be crushed – and there is no one better to crush them than the traitor of the white class par excellence, Donald Trump. Godspeed, Mr. President.
