Xi has strong words for Trump: 'In our culture, we punch back' — report

[Fledgingwings]

A warrior nation indeed knows how to fight back.

 

[CriticalThinker02]

“In the West you have the notion that if somebody hits you on the left cheek, you turn the other cheek,” Xi said in the report, according to people briefed on his remarks. “In our culture, we punch back.”

The culture of the west is not turning the other cheek, the western culture is extermination, annihilation, betraying of trust, oppression, extinction and genocide.

The Colonial Era,
Genocide of Native America,
Genocide of Native Australia,
Rape of Latin America,
Rape of Africa,
Rape of the Subcontinent,
Black Slavery,
Opium Wars.

Never trust the west, punch back at the gwailou.

Automakers warn US tariffs will cost jobs, hike prices

CGTN
2018-06-28

Two major auto trade groups on Wednesday warned the Trump administration that imposing up to 25 percent tariffs on imported vehicles would cost hundreds of thousands of auto jobs, dramatically hike prices on vehicles and threaten industry spending on self-driving cars.


A coalition representing major foreign automakers including Toyota Motor Corp, Volkswagen AG, BMW AG, and Hyundai Motor Co, said the tariffs would harm automakers and US consumers. The administration in May launched an investigation into whether imported vehicles pose a national security threat and President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to quickly impose tariffs.

“The greatest threat to the US automotive industry at this time is the possibility the administration will impose duties on imports in connection with this investigation,” wrote the Association of Global Automakers representing major foreign automakers. “Such duties would raise prices for American consumers, limit their choices, and suppress sales and US production of vehicles.”

The group added: “Rather than creating jobs, these tariffs would result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of American jobs producing and selling cars, SUVs, trucks and auto parts.”

On Friday Trump threatened to impose a 20 percent tariff on all imports of EU-assembled cars. On Tuesday Trump said tariffs are coming soon. “We are finishing our study of Tariffs on cars from the EU in that they have long taken advantage of the US in the form of Trade Barriers and Tariffs. In the end it will all even out — and it won’t take very long!” Trump tweeted.

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, representing General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co, Daimler AG, Toyota and others, urged the administration in separate comments filed Wednesday not to go forward.

“We believe the resulting impact of tariffs on imported vehicles and vehicle components will ultimately harm US economic security and weaken our national security,” the group wrote, calling the tariffs a “mistake” and adding imposing them “could very well set a dangerous precedent that other nations could use to protect their local market from foreign competition.”

The Alliance said its analysis of 2017 auto sales data showed a 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles would result in an average price increase of 5,800 US dollars, which would boost costs to American consumers by nearly 45 billion US dollars annually.

NuTonomy's driverless car, the first to launch in Boston, takes a spin around Drydock Ave. in South Boston on January 4, 2017.

Automakers are concerned tariffs would mean less capital to spend on self-driving cars and electric vehicles.

“We are already in the midst of an intense global race to lead on electrification and automation. The increased costs associated with the proposed tariffs may result in diminishing the US competitiveness in developing these advanced technologies,” the Alliance wrote.

Toyota said in a statement Wednesday that new tariffs “would increase the cost of every vehicle sold in the country.” The automaker said the tariffs would mean even a Toyota Camry built in Kentucky “would face 1,800 US dollars in increased costs.”

Both automotive trade groups cited a study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics that the cost to US jobs from the import duties would be 195,000 jobs and could be as high as 624,000 jobs if other countries retaliate.

The German Association for Small and Medium-sized Businesses said the “pattern of rising protectionism is very likely to continue if the US decide to impose tariffs on foreign automobiles and automobile parts, thus causing tremendous damage to both economies.”

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, a state that produced nearly one million vehicles and 1.7 million engines built by foreign automakers last year, urged the Commerce Department not to invoke the tariffs. She said job losses from new levies could be “devastating.”

The proposed tariffs on national security grounds have been met by opposition among many Republicans in Congress.

Trump has made the tariffs a key part of his economic message and repeatedly lamented the US auto sector trade deficit, particularly with Germany and Japan. Some aides have suggested that the effort is a way to try to pressure Canada and Mexico into making more concessions in ongoing talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.

US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Thursday the department aimed to wrap up the probe by late July or August. The Commerce Department plans to hold two days of public comments in July on its investigation of auto imports.

The Commerce Department has asked if it should consider US owned auto manufacturers differently than foreign automakers.

The Association of Global Automakers rejected that contention, saying its members’ American workers “are no less patriotic or willing to serve their country in a time of crisis than any other Americans.”

The group questioned national security as grounds to restrict auto imports. “America does not go to war in a Ford Fiesta,” they added.

The Alliance said “there is no basis to claim that auto-related imports are a threat to national security” and noted that 98 percent of US auto imports came from US national security allies.

Trump may have received the message.

Trump may ease off tech investment curbs on China

That's bad news for China. Now the dumb chinese companies will just forget investing in chips and go back to his uncle Sam

Quite impossible.

If they repeat a similar mistake, they know their end will not look pretty.

In fact. even before Trump tariffs, China had a clear vision for where it wanted to reach to in innovation and self-sustainability in advanced technologies.

In fact, this is the very reason why the US started the economic warfare against China in the first place. Made in China 2025. They hate it.

Even before the economic warfare by the US, China's plan was perfect and well on its way. The US economic warfare has been beneficial in showing the imperfections in the plan.

One practical consequence of US economic warfare on China is that it has sped things up. What China had planned for for the next ten years will have to be completed in the next three years.

Ok ....have a nice day

Seriously buddy. You probably encountered the peasants and not people like us.

China, led by the Communist Party of China, is not a Qing government!!!

Seriously buddy. You probably encountered the peasants and not people like us.

Oh dear....so now the peasants are better than you educated ones

Now you're putting words in my mouth
Look, China is a very huge country and lots of the villages are being converted to cities and peoples' dress sense changed instantly, though all that happened, it takes time for people's behavior to change too. Unlike us, who's lived in the cities through out our lives know what civic sense is. If you've met me, you'd take your words back about chinese bad behavior. Trust me.

We spanked them in the Korean War and we'll spank them again.

What spanking? it was the soviet union that helped China stand in front of the mighty USA, without soviet assistance you were just dead meat at that time, and once again USA will reunite korea and end this Chinese left hand regime of fatty patty kim.
we can come to your shores and fight, can you?
