China wine anti-dumping probe sparks French anger

[Götterdämmerung]

When Chinese sneeze, we all ran away and scream "BIRD FLU"

So, you run away from yourself screaming "Bird Flu" when you sneeze?

Quite a hilarious image.

Good Lord, are the French whining yet again?

These French are among the worst hypocrites when it comes to unfair trade practices.

EU as a whole has bigger GDP than America, is EU superior to America? EU is just a bunch of nations that hates/mistrust or both each other that forms an trade partnership.

As I have said, EU stores that sell Chinese goods also profit, it's not like we earn everything. Where else can you get that much goods, with quality(yea I said it, for the price it is quality, you want better pay for it), and on time delivery. No other country or countries can do it.

There won't be a trade war, it's just wine not the end of the world. Especially since there have been no action at this point.

As to the calm and nationalistic thing, I can be calm if you want to argue with points that supports your statement, and be at least some what fair in judgement.

I know what the French thinks of China, I been there, not long, just vacation and a semester in college. The French try to impose unfair trade regulations on China and it expects no retaliation, this is pretty much their expectation that we'll take this lying down. Don't pretend the French didn't think that, cause if they even thought of us as equals they would not have dealt with China the way it did.

And the message below that just makes me not want to respond to you....

This is a good question, did EU superior than the US? In short yes.

In the field of Economy, EU is one giant market that even US and China cannot ignore, a short quote from European Union Website

With just 7% of the world’s population, the EU's trade with the rest of the world accounts for around 20% of global exports and imports. The EU is the world’s biggest exporter and the second-biggest importer.

and currently the biggest trader within EU is the United States. Followed by China

The United States is the EU’s most important trading partner, followed by China. In 2005, the EU accounted for 18.1% of world exports and 18.9% of imports.

EUROPA - The economy

Say what you want with each different country, you are talking like YOU ARE GOING TO DO A ECONOMIC WAR WITH EU, NOT INDIVIDUAL COUNTRY. After such evident, do you really think China is able to pull it out or should China ignore EU altogether?? NO.

Militarily, EU own a military STRONGER Than the United States.

So, to answer your first question, IS EU SUPERIOR THAN THE UNITED STATES? THE ANSWER IS A SOLID YES.

As I said, you can pull a stunt like this with each individual EU Member, but pulling a stunt like this WITH EU as a WHOLE is plainly stupid, as I said to you before, EU will not act jack shiite, unless China boycott EU first, then trust me, no matter how different their view is between each individual EU member, they will reunite and bring China down.

That is why I said you didn't think before you say China should pull anything with the EU. If you have any backed up source say otherwise, I am all ears. DO remember I am talking about EU as a whole not individual member.

Now it's a conspiracy of Chinese producers and German installers. Funny though that you forgot to mention the other 17 EU countries who also conspires with the Chinese producers as well.

The funny thing is, one of the guy behind Prosun is also German who lives in a fat castle and drives a fleet of Porsche. Maybe this fat man should have invested his money into the R&D of his solar panel company to make it more competitive instead of letting himself and his share holders waste their money on an über-luxurious lifestyle and begging the gov. to help him out when the scheiß hits fan. Not only that, his comapny, too, received millions of subsidy from the Germany and US gov. until not too long ago. In fact, no other solar panel company ever received as much subsidy as his company.

AFASE on the other hand represents a vast array of comapnies ranging from the small installer firms to medium sized companies that produce cutting edge machine tools (huge added value) to giants like BASF (also huge margin).

That's all good, i already knew eco industries are subsidized everywhere. Point being, SolarWorld doesn't sell in China and is not pricing out the competition there.
But i understand your animosity towards them since SolarWorld was the instigator of the investigation that led to US import tariffs on Chinese solar panels.

EU is just a bunch of nations that hates/mistrust or both each other that forms an trade partnership.

lol yea. We hate each other so much i can go to the other end of Europe with just my ID card and no border checks. Your wishes are clouding your judgement.


Anyhow:

(Reuters) - The United States, China and the European Union have had initial discussions on a possible "global" agreement to resolve solar energy disputes, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

My animosity? What about the critics from the Wirtschaftswoche, AFASE and tons of ordinary people here in Germany?
