Anyone have a good read about current Chinese tariffs and how they're cheating?

What I can add is that on yesterday's "Special Report" panel at 5:40PM or so, one of the All-Stars said that even liberals and vehemently anti-Trump folks on Wall Street and in corporate boardrooms privately will admit that this needs to be addressed and that they're glad Trump is addressing it.
I found that both encouraging and disgusting. Encouraging that GEOTUS is on the right track - disgusting that so many leftists put their hatred of Trump over the best interests of the US and their own financial interests. It proves their obsession with Russia is bullshite.

There was a good article this morning/last night about how this will open the door for other countries to pick up market share in the US.
Right before that actually happens, China comes back to the table to play nice. I'll try and find the article.

Cheating? It's not really "cheating."
US: "We're globalist free traders, our universities are open to your agents, send as much of anything you want here free of tariffs and we're going to allow our companies to move there and share our tech with you in the hopes you become more like us."
China: "Screw you, you adolescent pipsqueak of a nation. We're known as a communist state, but more appropriately we're a national socialist state with an ancient culture that's millenia old. We're going to do what benefits China and enriches our nation.
We'll take you up on your silly offer, but we're going to put tariffs on the products you send us. By the way, our workers have a median average salary 1/10th of yours, and so they have no chance of competing against ours unless they eat rice three times a day, live three generations to an apartment, and ride a bicycle to work. Oh, and that trade deficit? That's going to help us build up our military and eventually kick your asses back to Hawaii."
Like I said, it's not really "cheating". Willful stupidity on our part? Sure. We didn't follow Patron's advice. We didn't read their book (The Art of War).
