Importers to American may be American or from some other country. Importers pay the tax to the American government. Importers may or may not apply the cost to the consumer. If importers raise the price, Americans can avoid the tax by not buying. Most will simply be discouraged from buying Chinese products due to their high price. Importers will then open manufacturing plants in other Asian nations and avoid China.

Congratulations, you and Trump have a similar level of economics knowledge! (assuming that team Trump were not planning to use tariffs as a revenue source)

Tariffs are effective in just about one scenario alone - to protect a fledgeling industry from established competition. They are ALWAYS a tax on the consumers and businesses of the country imposing the tariffs because the importer will increase prices to cover the increased cost - in full, or in part.

The tariffs imposed by the U.S cannot lead to import substitution because the U.S. no longer has the industries to produce the goods. For almost any kind of modern good, the logistics network (in simpler days a logistics chain) creates dependencies that make it costly to simply relocate production in the short term. The upshot is that you poor mugs are going to pay more for your goodies. You don't have a choice.

The government makes out like bandits because of all the windfall revenue. And here's the kicker: once you have demonstrated a willingness to pay the higher prices your government has imposed when your new bucket comes from Vietnam rather than China, the price will remain at the new high level because you have shown your willingness to pay it.

Do you think that Walmart will reduce prices once you have shown a willingness to pay? Do you think that the Chinese manufacturer who set up his new plant in Vietnam will reduce his prices? Of course, he won't, he will continue to charge higher prices for as long as he can, as long as the market will stand. That tells us that the rational Chinse manufacturer will choose to pay the tariffs, stay in China, charge you more money and wait for tariffs to end at which point his prices will, again, remain high and take the extra profit.

If you are unsure about this, go read a basic economics textbook. If you can't be bothered, take a look at the levels of Chinse exports to the USA -  they are increasing, not decreasing. If you and Trump were correct imports from China would be falling. Funny that, eh?

We will pay more for our "Chinese" goodies which is the whole point. It stops China from dumping in the US. The sad fact about most people is that we can't pass up a deal and tariffs take away the price difference. When we see a Chinese and a US product at the same price most Americans will go for the US product.

Thank you for the compliment although you didn't intend it to be one. I'm honored to be put in the same class as a billionaire business man who is running the biggest economy in the world better than most American presidents have done.

Tariffs are effective in just about one scenario alone - to protect a fledgeling industry from established competition.


America doesn't have much of an industry in creating cheap junk. Raising tariffs on China's cheap junk will get the manufacture's there to move their factories out of China. America never removed the decades old Chicken tax with applies 25% tariffs on light trucks made by any country. Japanese makes all the light trucks they sell in America creating jobs for Americans. Because tariffs on certain products are only applied if it was made in China, manufactures don't have to come to America but they will leave China and it will hurt China.

Do you think that Walmart will reduce prices once you have shown a willingness to pay? Do you think that the Chinese manufacturer who set up his new plant in Vietnam will reduce his prices? Of course, he won't, he will continue to charge higher prices for as long as he can, as long as the market will stand. That tells us that the rational Chinse manufacturer will choose to pay the tariffs, stay in China, charge you more money and wait for tariffs to end at which point his prices will, again, remain high and take the extra profit.


The manufactures aren't always Chinese and if manufactures move to Vietnam, it's because their products won't sell at higher prices. The move to Vietnam will be so the price on their products is appealing and their profits will be higher than if they stayed in Vietnam.

Hasbro and Mattel are American toy companies and are competitors. It won't take them much to figure out what Vietnam will make their toys for and if it shows increased profits and an edge over their competitor staying in China, the hassle of moving will be worth it. Walmart is very aggressive. If a product is to be sold in their stores, they aggressively negotiate for rock bottom prices and they get it because they have the most outlets and internet to sell manufacture's products. Imagine Duracell or Hoover vacuum cleaners trying to play hardball with Walmart. Walmart won't sell their products and their competitors will benefit. Articles written last year for you to digest.

The upshot is that you poor mugs are going to pay more for your goodies.

I support Trump in this trade war to balance trade with China and get protections on our intellectual property. I'm willing to pay more now to protect America's future. Good investment IMO. When Trump gets guarantees from China to prosecute and jail individuals and companies we point out as copying our products and stealing our intellectual property, those individuals and companies will turn full attention to copying and stealing from European companies. When Trump is done with his second term, the EU should consider hiring him for his tough negotiation tactics when confronting China about their bad behavior.

When we see a Chinese and a US product at the same price most Americans will go for the US product.


With higher tariffs, manufactures will leave China and open up factories in countries other than America but when American consumers choose an American product more often than before, it creates American jobs. Trump isn't expecting to bring all the jobs back. That's unrealistic but he will bring some jobs back.





Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776. If you want to stop the war in Ukraine, fix elections, stop medical tyranny and forced vaccinations, lower inflation and make America and the world a better place, get Trump back into power. The Democrats and Republicans have shown they can't do the job. They are good at robbing us and getting people killed in non stop wars.

The irony with Communist Freaking Red China is they are so short sighted and copy everything and then turn out a much lower quality version...

Whereas the Germans, Japanese, Koreans and to some extent Swedes (Volvo) turn out a much higher quality of all products they can earn a profit from which is the type of production and manufacturing we should encourage - not the Communist Freaking Red Chinese slave labor social credit tyranny of the Communist Red Chinese.

Does the UK actually manufacture anything any more or is it all made in China and India with slum dog slave labor - what hypocrisy.

Almost all bought and owned and manufactured components in India with some minor final assembly and testing in what is left of UK industry.  All rover autos are made in India.

The rich Indians like having a strong relationship with the City of London (Asset Protection) and the UK enjoys the British Empire deference of their Indian subordinates perhaps more so than the uppity Communist Red Chinese.

Why do people make stuff up (or choose to present themselves as ignorant?)

Aston Martin cars are designed and manufactured by a publicly owned company based in the UK.
Jaguar and Landrover are British registered businesses, subsidiaries of Tata Group. Vehicles are designed and manufactured in Britain, they are not CKD from India.
The Rover brand is owned by Tata but no cars are built under that brand.
Rolls Royce is owned by BMW, the cars are designed and manufactured in England. There's less than 20% of BMW content in these cars.
Bentley is owned by Volkswagen. The cars are designed and manufactured in Crewe, England.

These cars built in England are British (or English) The same can not be said of many well-known cars and brands in the U.S.
Some current examples:
Jeep Renegade, made in Italy
Buick Regal: Canada & Germany
Chevrolet Equinox: Canada
Dodge Charger: Canada
Dodge Challenger: Canada
Cadillac XTS: Canada
Chevrolet Cruze: Mexico
Chevrolet Silverado: Mexico
Ford Edge: Canada
Chevrolet Trax: Mexico
Ford Transit Connect: Europe
And yes, there's plenty more, but that'll get you started. Whataboutism rocks!  :party0031:

LOLOLOL Curious saw many Rover Autos in the UK and Wheeler Dealers now a hit on MT internet behemoth channel has actually featured them...

Tata Group - Nuf said...

Yes, Fiat bought out the Chrysler/Plymouth parent and are upgrading the styling of some of the Jeeps yet most all Manufactured in North America...

LOL Canada and Mexico are client states of the USA and destined to become stars on the 10X10 field or 100 Futures Stars of the USA Flag and to become members of the emerging Amero empire of North America - neither one has Nukes so they do what they are instructed to do... though we like to make the City of London/Rothschilds-Rockefeller-JPMorgan alliance seem important given their butthurt sensibilities over the lost British Empire so we still allow the Canadian Paper Currency and Coinage to feature busts of Her Majesty until we switch to the US Controlled Amero as the Euro and Pound Sterling implodes - go figure.

We keep holding out olive branches and more recently lifelines to the Brexiteers however the old guard Rule Britannia Empire-ists would rather drown sinking the Empire remnants rather than come along swimmingly.  No worries you can keep your Airs of Bloody British Superiority - we find it rather cute and endearing like a Yapping Yorkshire Terrier purse puppy and your Royal Pomp and Circumstance and Brit Humor and Drama Tellie shows are entertaining nostalgia for us and make an interesting tourist experience (Downton Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, etc) as long as your Islamists don't begin blowing up our tour buses - take that as a hint.

So, cufflinks, because you saw a TV show that features old cars you think that they are still being made. It is a good job that you no longer have any business that involves providing information or analysis.

Rover Dover Clover TataMobilia... whatever - Canada and Mexico are defacto client satellite states of the USA and we have a nostalgic affinity for the memory of all things hip and quaint in Britannia and her client satellite states of Singapore, India, and the Pan African British Commonwealth of Nations...  rather perplexing why the Brexit held up now and the USA Trade Treaty olive branch of special Crown access to the North American markets (Similar to BP and BAE etc) has been snubbed by the Anti USA Royals and Pro-ISIS radical islamists in the Parliaments both in London and Brussels as though you lot are doing the USA a favor.

What are you burbling about?
Are you losing the ability to use the English language?
If your cognitive issues are due to injury then you have my sympathy. Something similar, but much less serious, happened to me a few years ago. Fortunately I made a full recovery, it was a difficult time though.

If the issue we see is self inflicted then get some help. There are numerous addiction support systems and some a free of charge for the motivated but needy.

China Trade War...

Lets Talk Cars...

I like New Japanese Cars - Highest Quality Most Reliable and Highest Resale Value in the World. One option Fully loaded with all bells and whistles - high volumes keep fully loaded costs competitive and beat cheap nickel dimer competition hands down.

I like New Korean Cars - 100K Mile Warranties bumper to bumper and near Japanese Quality and Reliability.

I like German Cars - great styling and Safety and almost as reliable as the Japanese who have turned quality into a near religion. High-End German Cars are out of the price range of the average consumer but VW has greatly improved quality and reliability and fully loaded with all the options yet cost competitive with Japanese and Korean product.

I would like to buy American yet outside of American Ford, Chevy and Ram trucks designed to take a heavy duty beating and still last 300,000 hard working miles - American cars seem cheap by comparison (Huge Worker Pay, Benefits, Insurances and phat Pensions) forces American Car Companies to cut costs everywhere else using plastic where Germans will use metals. Only saving grace for USA Auto manufacturers is that they are now using Japanese and German Robots to eliminate bad attitude and sloppy union workmanship - Joke was in the USA to you need to learn how to read VIN numbers especially day/date of manufacture and if manufactured on a Monday or Friday - steer clear - Monday was hangover day and Friday was  :censored: Phock it lets get outta here and enjoy our weekends day.

Quality suffered greatly on Mondays and Fridays... Not a Problem with Japanese, German and Korea Robotic Car manufacturing - Go Figure.

Chinese Cars, Never Seen One and would not recognize one if it ran me over - unless it was a Buick built in China for the Chinese markets in a GM Japanese Robotics operated uber quality factory.

Every Product I ever bought made in China either quit working in less than six months or was defective in some major way. The Japanese learned after the utter devastation of Japan in WWII that the way to build a world-beating economy was to build world beating quality and reliability fully loaded with all the options for a price the average working family can easily afford, same for VW and Hyundai and KIA.

Not a concept the Brazilians, Russians, Indians, Chinese or South Africans or the rest of Latin America has fully grasped... Chinese being about the worst of the BRICS bunch imo.

Until the Chinese can produce quality on par with Japan and South Korea they will doom themselves with their Good Enough for the CCP (Good enough for Government Work) attitudes.

Until that day arrives the USA has little to fear with our spanking new German and Japanese robot run Car Factories... plus all the many Japanese, Korean and German Car Factories already here capitalizing on our unlimited land, unlimited energy and unlimited demand for their Best in World Class products.

China has a long way to go to be competitive at a world-class level in anything except Tyrannical Suppression (Social Credit Scores and Reeducation Camps etc) of its people.

This is why the Trade War will hurt China much much more than the USA - we have Japan, Korea, and Germany manufacturing already here in the USA to buy from as a Yuuuge alternative supply chain - China not so much.

Do the British even manufacture Affordable and Reliable Cars any more...

Afis List...

These cars built in England are British (or English) - All great Ultra High End Luxury "Motorcars" far beyond the Median Family income in any major Western Countries ability to afford.

Aston Martin cars are designed and manufactured by a publicly owned company based in the UK.
Jaguar and Landrover are British registered businesses, subsidiaries of Tata Group. Vehicles are designed and manufactured in Britain, they are not CKD from India.
The Rover brand is owned by Tata but no cars are built under that brand.
Rolls Royce is owned by BMW, the cars are designed and manufactured in England. There's less than 20% of BMW content in these cars.

Tell that to the US Soya farmers - who will NOT be thanking 'Trampu'

Do the British even manufacture Affordable and Reliable Cars any more...

Jags, Range Rovers, Land Rovers, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Lotus , Formula 1 and Indy cars are mostly built / designed in the UK ;)    Honda ( at the mo ) Nisan , Toyota, BMW ( Mini), Aston Martin, Morgan, Ariel,  (Atom) , Vauxhall ( ex-GM) - now part of Peugeot group

I HAVE been in Chinese cars - and they tend to be copies of better western / Japanese models and not in the same league for build quality and NVH ( noise vibration harshness control ) ..but they'll learn - fast .. (Lots of Russians bought 'em as taxis and they fall apart FAST )


I have kit made there ... It can be designed by us on a Thursday - the drawings sent and by Monday the Printed circuit boards are back in Cyprus / UK ..not had a reject - yet ..





I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

Cufflinks, do you use a phone or computer?

I bet you know where they were made. So why use lots of words to lie to us?

Here's a secret that many of you in Retardistan have yet to learn: you get what you pay for and the Chinese being expert traders will sell you what you want. You want crap you pay for crap. Many people in Retardistan only want crap so that's what the Chinese, or increasingly their South East Asian subsidiaries will sell you.

If you can afford quality and are willing to pay then the Chinese will sell you goods the like of which are beyond the skills of Retardistanis to emulate.

So decrees the Lord High Chancellor of British Empire Senilitystan... so senile that they can't accept there is no more British Military Empire and has been replaced by a world Money laundering regime based in the City of London and its global web of offshore Trust and IBC cash Tax haven Islands.

The Chinese are corrupt even more so than Russia and the Stans being the worst... nothing gets done without the required baksheesh payments to poorly paid officials with their needed stamps to move goods of any type anywhere in Stanislandia. Because of this corruption and graft that must be paid by anyone manufacturing anything from gadgets to drugs to foodstuffs, the Chinese freaking cut corners on just about everything.... what is the largest growing market in the rapidly growing Mainland Chinese Middle and Upper Middle Classes - the uber classes being the CCP Politburo and apparatchings as in KaChing graft and corruption monies paid to the endless baksheesh rent-seeking bureaucrats.

Answer - the largest growing demand in China is for US Artisinal Produced Organic products from supplements to foodstuffs - Why?  Because the USA Organics movement is quite a rigorous standard to abide by and the wealthy Chinese would rather buy foods for their kids and themselves and their pets that are safe and pure and not made with poisons to cut down the costs of Baby formula, generic meds, supplements and just about anything else.

Curious why the empires best and brightest entrepreneurs from across the Former British Empire set up shop in the USA to capitalize upon their unique brilliance.  Clearly, baksheesh and crushing administrative regulations and obscene enegy costs in the UK and EU and the extended Commonwealth empire clearly has its downsides.

As for the extremely insulting and pure evil retardistan comments - this is the vicious inhuman attitude of an elderly drunkard that belies the fact that said same viciousness got the old drunkard a serious Head Banging a few years ago from a vodka-fueled angry lot of similarly insulted locals in Tallinn that smashed his skull with something hard (Vodka Bottle or steel pipe?) and left him to freeze to death in a snow bank knocked out with a serious concussion - the effects of which are every present in the doddering old drunkards vicious meanness that drops the level of discourse on this forum to its lowest most mean common denomeanator.  An incredibly low-class level of behavior for any community - even Satanists show more respect to each other.

Trump taking steps to shut down one of the two back doors for China into US Markets (Mexico and then Canada) while Democrat Marxists refuse to ratify the USMCA and to shut down the flow of human trafficking, and deadly opioids and fentanyl and carfentanyl, crystal meth, etc., flooding the USA from Chinese funded and controlled labs in Mexico killing 80,000 young Americans a year and addicting millions - a full-on narco war against the USA.

CNBC June 1, 2019 - Mexico’s president on Saturday hinted his country could tighten migration controls to defuse U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose (5% escalating to 25%) tariffs on Mexican goods, and said he expected “good results” from talks planned in Washington next week.

Trump said on Thursday he will apply the tariffs on June 10 if Mexico does not halt the flow of illegal immigration, largely from Central America, across the U.S.-Mexican border.

His ultimatum hit Mexican financial assets and global stocks, but met resistance from U.S. business leaders and lawmakers worried about the impact of targeting Mexico, one of the United States’ top trade partners.

In a news conference in the Gulf of Mexico port of Veracruz, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Mexico could be ready to step up measures to contain migration in order to reach a deal with the United States.

A Mexican delegation led by Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard will discuss the dispute with U.S. officials in Washington on Wednesday, and Lopez Obrador said he expected “good results” from the talks, and for a deal to emerge.

“The main thing is to inform about what we’re already doing on the migration issue, and if it’s necessary to reinforce these measures without violating human rights, we could be prepared to reach that deal,” Lopez Obrador said.

Trump’s threat to inflict pain on Mexico’s economy is the biggest foreign policy test to date for Lopez Obrador and a tall order for Mexican authorities struggling not only to contain migration but also to fight record gang violence.

Mexico’s economy relies heavily on exports to the United States and shrank in the first quarter. Under Trump’s plan, U.S. tariffs that could rise as high as 25% this year.

Lopez Obrador said Mexico would not engage in any trade wars with the United States, but noted that his government had a “plan” in case Trump did apply the tariffs to ensure the country was not impoverished. He did not provide details of the plan.

On Thursday, Trump announced he would slap a 5 percent tariff beginning June 10 against all goods entering the United States from the southern border, a surcharge that would hit millions of products like cars, machinery, fruits and vegetables. Trump promised the tariffs would escalate each month — starting July 1, reaching a maximum of 25 percent in October — unless Mexico stopped migrants from crossing into the United States.

Despite Trump’s efforts to build a wall along the border and crack down on migration, economic ties between the United States and Mexico have only strengthened. U.S. companies imported $346.5 billion in goods from Mexico last year. The supply chains between the United States and Mexico have been forged over decades and were drawn closer by the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. Many major manufacturers, including Ford, Caterpillar, Whirlpool and Polaris, make products in Mexico and then ship items to the United States.

The US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson has said the National Health Service will be 'on the table' in a future post-Brexit trade deal between America and the United Kingdom.

"Tramp", who gave several interviews to UK papers before his state visit on Monday, has suggested the UK should send the Brexit party leader, Nigel Farage, to negotiate its departure from the EU and has said he hopes Boris Johnson becomes Conservative leader.
