Bloomberg

quote:

China has offered to go on a six-year buying spree to ramp up imports from the U.S., in a move that would reconfigure the relationship between the world’s two largest economies, according to officials familiar with the negotiations, Bloomberg News reports.

By increasing annual goods imports from the U.S. by a combined value of more than $1 trillion, China would seek to reduce its trade surplus -- which last year stood at $323 billion -- to zero by 2024, one of the people said. The officials asked not to be named as the discussions aren’t public.

That will be oil and agricultural products and it will be good. Not much in the way of job creation but good for commodity sectors of our economy.

If Trump insist on keeping the tariffs on goods Americans buy with an offer like that on the table he should be impeached.

The other not so apparent benefit will be the Chinese will not be buying near as much US debt as it will now be using US dollar reserves to buy US goods instead.

That is a benefit in my eyes because it will contribute to rising interest rates and maybe one day we will force Congress to deal with it's deficit spending.

This is absolutely huge news. This might be the biggest foreign policy story since the NoKo talks.

All the media will talk about for the next 2 weeks is this Cohen story from goddam buzz feed.

And what of IP theft violations?

Throwing money at us to make it easier for them to sell still doesn’t fix one of the major underlying issues.

What about intellectual property of US firms? They still going to force them to fork it all over if they want access to the Chinese market?
