Trade war threat of the day--China wants more US companies profits including Apple

Humm this may not be going quite the way Trumpsters hoped.

As in any trade war politicians pick winners and losers:
Access to a billion people is a powerful bargaining tool.

"The trade conflict initiated by the Trump administration reminds China to re-examine China-U.S. trade," People's Daily wrote. "It seems U.S. companies doing business in China are the biggest winners from China-U.S. trade. The Chinese market is vital for many top U.S. brands, giving Beijing more leeway to play hardball in the trade conflict."
quote:
"China is by far the most important overseas market for the U.S.-based Apple, leaving it exposed if Chinese people make it a target of anger and nationalist sentiment. China doesn't want to close its doors to Apple despite the trade conflict, but if the U.S. company wants to earn good money in China, its needs to share its development dividends with the Chinese people."

So far, Apple has been broadly insulated from the trade war. Trump reportedly told Apple CEO Tim Cook in June that iPhones assembled in China would be spared from levies.

You have over 16k posts and 95% of them have been about tariffs and "trade wars". Who hurt you?

Oh look a liberal that is pissed that Apple may soon have to pay their fare share.

I can only pray Trump doesn't tariff your down votes. We would truly be screwed.

What liberal are you talking about? The liberals want the tariffs.

There's 15 of them on the first page at any given time. Hard to not accidentally click one every now and then. Might as well leave a downvote since I'm here already.

This is disingenuous if you're using it to criticize only the Trump administration, considering politicians have always been the arbiters of trade deals.

I don't think I have started 15 threads on PB in the last 60 days.

Screw the haters, I B. I choose to be on the side of Sowell, Friedman, Rothbard, and Bastiat.
I wonder if the people for these tariffs as a "negotiation tactic" also think its a good move to punch yourself in the balls to help you win a fight.

Nope. He has adopted the BS of a politician. I suspect god status is out.

Let me ask you a question.
If tariffs are bad and wrong and evil and what not why isn't China saying "hey okay we'll remove our tariffs if you remove your?" Well the answer, of course, is that tariffs are GOOD for the country applying the tariff , doubly so if the country they have tariffs on doesn't have reciprocal tariffs.

Negotiating for Liberals:
Cry and complain until the other side gives in just to shut you up.
