Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 13, 2019 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 13, 2019 Trump just said China does way more business with us than we do with them...isn’t that fucking backwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3600 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I think it's how you read it. They sell us more which with the tariffs will be incentive for US customers to find alternative sources. So they stand to lose 540B of business. If they find alternative sources for our goods it's not as large a hit on our sellers. It does mean though that we're currently impacted more by the tariffs from a cost perspective, but that isn't what he's saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 13, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) China mandates they own 50% of US companies built over there. Not just the facilities either. Edited May 13, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
