Donald Trump threatens China with “the worst punishment”

81

US President Donald Trump said what punishment on the part of the United States will be the worst for the Chinese. This punishment could befall China for "concealing COVID-19 data.

It is reported by Fox News.



When asked if the United States intends to increase duties on Chinese-made goods, Donald Trump said that this would be a very terrible punishment for the People's Republic of China. He also said that Washington is playing a very difficult game with Beijing.

Moreover, this game is not even checkers at all, but rather chess or poker.


According to the President of the United States, China made a big and gross mistake in deciding to hide information about the coronavirus from the world community. Trump said that China, having made a "terrible mistake", decided to keep secret in order to "extinguish it like a fire." He said that we still need to figure out why the Chinese did not stop the spread of COVID-19 to other countries.

At the same time, Trump hardly understands that the introduction of additional duties on Chinese goods will primarily hit the Americans themselves. Indeed, in the USA, goods from China are so popular that their price hurt would hit the pocket of a simple resident of America.

    But does Trump understand the rules of the game Beijing is playing?

        I believe that in this case, Trump perfectly understands the rules of the game. Moreover, he establishes them .. increase in duties, will force production to move to other countries .. yes it will take time, but it will inflict a serious blow on billionth China.

Yes, and the United States and the EU do not know what will come out after the crisis, given that unemployment in the United States simply breaks records, buyers from them will be just fine ... although of course everything will recover over time. But the global center can move, if from 2000-2019 the focus was primarily on Western consumers and corporations tried to get the main profit there, then from 2020 the East market: China, India (1,3 billion people), Japan, South Korea etc. would be preferable.

          Chinese growth began in the 80s, with the reforms of Den Seo Ping. From now on China
          began the transition from a socialist economy to a capitalist one. Started with
          invitations of foreign factories to its territory and intensive export.
          And for 40 years he moved to 2nd place in the world. Capitalism led to the emergence of middle
          class (300 million, roughly - like the entire population of the States). And this middle class
          actively "consumes". The pace of China's development can be slowed down, but it cannot be defeated

    Moreover, this game is not even checkers at all, but rather chess or poker.


    Only Trump plays poker, and China chess ...

    Trump decides nothing. He's dumber than bush. He was chosen and you know who you decide for him (I don’t want to go into details, so that they do not accuse me of being a supporter of conspiracy theories). He just expresses diplomatic thoughts in simple words. He is, if you will, a talking head like Zhirinovsky. One of the reasons for hitting China is to make it more accommodating about Iran. China is the only country that somehow supports Iran. Plus, to throw arrows over the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States to China and hide your sins, bragging, complete failure and incompetence in solving this problem. The late Zadornov was right - they are basically (not all, there are a lot of wonderful people) complete dumb and ignorant. Check out Sacha Baron Cohen's satirical series "Who is America?" So to speak, a look from the inside.

      It is a troublesome task to send the Chinese economy to the Stone Age.
