“Competition with China is going to be stiff. That’s what I expect and that’s what I welcome because I believe in the global system. Europe and the United States, together with our allies in the Indo-Pacific, worked so hard to build over the last 70 years. We have to push back against the Chinese government’s economic abuses and coercion that undercut the foundations of the international economic system.”

He also claimed the U.S. and its European allies must come together to protect the “free exchange of ideas in open democratic societies.”

If you believe this 40 year lying politician you are dumber than you look. “free exchange of ideas in open democratic societies.”

These people want nothing of this free ideas and democratic societies, this is obvious. liars

Except this isn’t true. Biden said he has no plans to remove tariffs with China in the near future, if ever. Although he should consider it because other than political bluster, the tariffs have accomplished little.

The tariffs aren’t paid by Chinese companies manufacturing products, they’re paid by American companies importing Chinese goods, and the costs are passed on to consumers.

Look at the bilateral trade figures between the US and China:

"In 2017, U.S. imports of goods from China were $505 billion. In 2018, U.S. imports went to $539 billion, and because of China’s retaliatory tariffs, U.S. exports to China declined by more than $9 billion."

If you think anyone can compete with Chinese run slave labor, you're a fucking idiot. Have you compared prices on Chinese goods vs others, if you can find others. They are putting companies out of business.

They put companies out of business about 40 years ago because multi-nationals shifted manufacturing to slave-labour economies, like you said. As a result, the US economy shifted from manufacturing to a services and information based economy decades ago. That’s not bad - most Westerners don’t dream of standing on an assembly line twisting wrenches all day for low pay. Most prefer working at a comfy desk or in the service sector. 

Joe, you are not fooling anyone, well maybe some people. Oh wait it's racist if your don't buy from China.

 Is it?

Yeah, I'm not super political. But I realized part of the point of the tariffs was to rebuild our own industries here instead of exporting everything. Fuck it though, we're doing virtue signal politics now.

 There is some evidence of American and multinational companies diversifying their supply chains out of China (some Apple suppliers said they are moving manufacturing of iPads and Mac Books to Vietnam). That may help other countries but doesn’t do much to boost American manufacturing. They want cheap labour and Americans don't come cheap.

Yeah...I think people aren't aware of the ballsy and domineering shit they do. For example flying over Taiwan airspace recently, or the currency manipulation that you mentioned. I think the virus was "let loose" on purpose as well, but that's not something that anyone can prove. It's just an awful weird coincidence that the city doing research on a virus of that nature also happened to have an outbreak of it, and the genome had certain "characteristics."

But anyways, I'm not digging at Chinese people. I had plenty of them in my dorm in college and really got to experience their points-of-view. My friend and I used to do things like show them videos of the Tiananmen Square incident, some of them thought it was fake. But that's the CCP at work. I don't even know if they have the interests of the Chinese at heart anymore.

Serpentza has been going hard on YouTube ever since the party came after him; that's been some interesting shit to watch. If I have any complaint about Chinese, they think they're the center of the universe. I'm actually OK with that, but fuck the CCP.

There is no evidence that the virus was released by China and Chinese people don't think the tiananmen square incident is fake (or your friends are fucking weird).

I hope you're trolling.

Thank God someone here is not a complete fucking dolt.

This topic is why we should not let some people vote.

U.S. steel groups, union urge Biden to keep Trump's steel tariffs in place

Protectionist tariffs work, this is why the EU and other countries use them. Biden will remove the tariffs you wait. Hope I'm wrong.

Biden’s Commerce Secretary Admits Trump’s China Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum Helped Save Jobs in the US

“With respect to tariffs, there is a place for tariffs – you know, the 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum have in fact helped save American jobs in the steel and aluminum industries,” Raimondo said to a reporter during Wednesday’s press briefing.

Trump's policies  will be shown to correct in several areas. Tariffs and opportunity zones are a couple.

Getting people out of poverty in shitty inner cities should be a priority. Jobs for people to be proud of.
