Posting what to me, is a (very) interesting story, out of China. Today.

Sure would have been simpler, if Xi had simply agreed to buy a bunch more, from America.

But no...

Go Donald. :D

Pay for the hospitality of proletariat masses, avoid the hotels.

Let’s shoot ourselves in the foot and show those damned Americans we mean business.

Well, if they’re down to that I’d love to see Pres Trump put out the feelers that he’s getting ready to revoke all student visa’s for Chinese students. I’m sure there are plenty of American kids that were turned down at schools that could backfill those slots.

What about we increase tuition at U universities by 25% for Chinese. With the extra money going to the US government (not the liberal universities)?

People answering the phone on Friday at numbers on the hotel’s website said they were unaware of the policy.

...

So this is probably just a publicity stunt.

“Sure would have been simpler, if Xi had simply agreed to buy a bunch more, from America.”

Xi has, for him, a life or death problem. His position is only safe as long as the Chinese economy...meaning the average person, is doing really well. If he does anything to rock the already leaking boat, he’ll be out of power. The Chinese economy is already in a huge bubble. Almost anything could pop that bubble. Instead of there being a win/win for him, there is likely only a bunch of lose/lose policies. Now, if he had played along with Trump, they probably could have worked something out. But, that’s not how the game is played.

Starting to reflect the true cost of foreign business.

Not the old CoC socialist, we subsidize the world.

Like there aren’t other hotels in China. If many Americans stay there, he’ll lose business.

Boycott China. In all respects.

Save your discretionary spending on Chinese crap

And either Buy American

Or invest it

Excellent idea. When bookings by Americans drop 50 percent, it can serve as an object lesson in capitalism.

Unfortunately, it’s not just an international reaction from China. Ever been to Hawaii and compared the hotel rates between “out of staters” and Hawaii residents?
