US announces new tariffs over Chinese

This is Trumperica's latest attempt to tackle China first and the global economy second. So basically, the claim is that it is bad for the American consumer to allow trade with countries that buy Chinese products because of "Forced/Slave" Labour.

However, it is fine for America to purchase Chinese products under the same circumstances. Most of Trump's merchandise is made in China. For example, Trump Phones are made in China, but sold as made in America. It is also fine that America has a minimum wage of $7 per hour, which is slave labour. Also, they have become an Oligarchy. China is actually doing better at using capitalism to distribute wealth because it promotes competition rather than market consolidation.

Even when Trump is gone, this will be remembered. America democratically elected this person. We must phase out American products and services and move towards permanent protectionism against both China and America.

All high-end manufacturing needs to be taken out of China and moved back to Europe. Low-end manufacturing needs to be moved to other places with a weaker currency.

They've also announced tariffs on some African countries for human rights abuses.

I'm guessing/hoping you agree with those?

America does not give a shit about human rights in Africa.

Wrong...they actually do something about it...you might not agree...Trump actually took Cyril to task about South Africa...best TV of my life ..dim the lights...

America does not give a shit about human rights in Africa

Does anybody really? But at least America reports on them and condemns abuses where they occur.

Europe pretends the abuses in Iran and the degradation of women in Afghanistan aren’t even happening.

There is no United Nations oversight, there is none from Europe, China truly doesn’t care. There is only America, flawed as it may be.

Africa will be Africa, the Darkness of Africa...

However, this is all about Trump trying to make countries around the world reduce trade with China and increase trade with America.

America is very worried about China, much more than they are about the EU turning things around any time soon.

China's average IQ is increasing, while America's is decreasing. The working class in America is growing, and the Middle Class is shrinking (Although that is happening in Europe too).

The winners of globalisation have been:

1. China: The main benefactor of globalisation, becoming the manufacturing hub of the world. Very happy to access a global free trade market, while applying protectionism in their market. Happy to have two currencies, with a cheap one for exports to undercut global trade prices.
2. America: But only those with significant shares who have benefited from Big Tech monopolies
3. Europe: No benefit. The only logical step is to use protectionism and use the size of the market to become self--sufficient
4. Third-world have been able to export their mass population growth onto the rest of the world

What an answer. It tells who is human and who is not human. No change since 1776.

America does not give a shit about human rights in Africa.

The US do not even care about forced labour or they would have fixed their own issue of forced labour in their carceral system.

It is very funny. No one in history has cheapened the human being condition and dignity than liberals.

Trade over anything else under the guise of human concern.
