    President Joe Biden is set to announce new China tariffs as soon as next week targeting strategic sectors including electric vehicles, solar panels and steel.

    So, are Teslas manufactured in Elon’s Shanghai plant also subject to the tariffs? If so, ouch.

    Also, wtf is with the English usage? “China medical supplies”? “China” is a noun, not an adjective. I mean, I think an actual Chinese person with a couple years of HS English study would have gotten that correct…

    When american companies gutted american manufacturing to outsource those jobs to china, they did nothing to stop it. Apparently there was nothing wrong with any of what china does when it benefits american companies.

    But now china has their own companies, now the profits from chinese business will stay in china, so they do a trade war.

    This trade war with china is entirely driven by corruption and racism.
