China said Friday that it will impose reciprocal 34% tariffs on all imports from the United States from April 10, making good on a promise to strike back after US President Donald Trump escalated a global trade war.

    I like that we don’t have to put quotes around reciprocal this time.

    I get what forces behind Trump are trying to accomplice, using him as and his cabinet of morons as useful idiots, but so many things can in wrong, even if there were some brains at the helm. It also requires USA presenting it’s balls to China with an excellent chance to kick’m if they please. Orange baboon running his mouth does not help at all.

      China will do just fine. It’s us we should be more concerned about, not China. Just as they managed in every other field, I’m fairly sure they’ll manage this time too.
