I feel like this goes back to the old saying: If you are not paying for it, then you are not the customer.
This would also have the effect that the USA work force is mainly useful for low wage labor, would it not? Basically turning the USA back into a third world country that can be exploited for cheap labor. But I guess that is what so many USA citizens would like and vote for 🤷♂️
I wish I could just ignore this comment as though it were the musings of some paranoid individual. But with where the world is at the moment I cannot help but actually consider it as valid. Perhaps I have become paranoid or the world has truly become this problematic. I am not sure which would be worse for me.
All is fair in love and war. If you did not want to fight as though it were a war, then it would have been better not to send over a declaration of war.
Nice detail is that somehow they end up being owned by a Hong Kong Ltd. - Riddick3001
Just out of interest, where did you hear that the boats from this shadow fleet are registered by a company in Hong Kong? There would be some irony if China would use this as the final excuse to take over Hong Kong, to "clean up the mess" that Hong Kong companies have been causing internationally.
The simple answer: no. This so called "trade war" is more of a meme on Chinese social media than an actual concern. Most Chinese people (at least the ones I can interact with directly) are more wondering when the USA will stop shooting itself in the foot.
It is hardly a surprise that this is happening. Is it really possible for the EU to exist in this political climate without any major foreign ally?
What a surprise, who would have thought that Ukraine would turn to other potential allies after having a fallout with the USA. (\s) It is almost like the USA is sending extra business to China's doorstep (and here I thought the USA was trying to curtail China's influence world wide). But I guess the USA is really just trying to help China grow faster and expand their international fame.
Here we go again...
