China will refuse to give up the “special and differential treatment” it enjoys as a developing nation at the World Trade Organisation, in a rebuke to a US proposal that would pare back the privileges China and other nations enjoy on trade...

I am beginning to wonder whether Trump may gradually be coming to the conclusion, that many of us have already...
China is not interested in coexisting. China is competing for control of the world.
The entire thing.
China. The ultimate affirmative action policy.
Time for the 25% on tariffs.
Nice economy you’ve got there China, be a real shame if something happened to it...
The WTO ranks only second to the UN as a corrupt organization that needs to be disbanded.
“We are still developing as a super-power nation. We are still in “angry teenager/dangerous young man” stage in our development. Therefore, we advise that we keep our Develoing Nation status in WTO.”
I think we should possibly consider (much) higher tariffs than that.
Much higher.
Maybe that’s just me. :)
They need to be put out the most favored nation status. Everything they do in empowering their industry is meant to attack us. Libertarians believe that business should not be a zero sum game and everyone wins, but this is not the case with China. Their economy derives from their strategy, whereas we have no strategy but economics, which is ridiculous. The man of war precedes thaf of peace. You do not make a nation free by issueing debt and corporations.
Should be 'deferential'.
Sometimes I hate being so darned literate.
It is funny but not actually funny. In China you won’t find homeless’ tents all around or needles and poo in the streets. Their doctors haven’t seen any louse and typhus is something from a hystory book for them.
“Of course we’re developing... were still only the second largest economy!”
> China is competing for control of the world.
Yep, the elites are coming around to that conclusion. For instance, MIT broke ties with Huawei - there was a significant amount of research sponsorship available. Export controls are being reviewed and publicized. There is very increased awareness - and acknowledgement - of chinese stealing.
In Peking, they have road crews with water trucks with high pressure hoses driving down streets washing the crap away. It was a lot cleaner than I expected. The anarchy of bicycle riders on the streets was my most dangerous experience.
Actually, the US has China over a barrel. China makes the vast majority of its trade money by being the low cost provider. Cheap labor, subsidized companies and currency manipulation are all part of its strategy. But when you put the right amount of tariff on their goods, then there are several Asian countries vying to become the new low cost provider. Trump has the current tariffs such that they are still the low cost or near low cost provider for much of their industry. But Trump keeps holding that increased level of tariffs over their head.
A country that can put rovers on the Moon and send up a Space station is not a developing nation. They are developed.
We need to leave the WTO, repeal Most Favored nation, and ban Red Chinese goods from this country.
Then we should arm Taiwan with ICBMs and missile shields.

LOL ..... no you don't.
You enjoy correcting people's errors.
But it is perfectly fine. Your education has served you well.
Not to paraphrase Chris Matthews, but you may "get that same thrill up your leg, all over you, every time" you can correct someone.

Please don't be upset. I am only pulling your leg.

Sowing dissension between people is called “trolling” and I am sure Jim wants trolls on here because he seems to allow it.
