Good... So are the farmers going to drive to DC in their tractors?

United States waking up to Chinese abuses, US Senator Elizabeth Warren says in Beijing

After years of pursuing economic engagement, policymakers now ‘starting to look more aggressively at pushing China to open its markets’

US policy towards China has been misdirected for decades and policymakers are now recalibrating ties, US Senator Elizabeth Warren told reporters during a visit to Beijing amid heightened trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies.

Warren’s visit comes as US President Donald Trump prepares to implement trade tariffs on more than US$50 billion worth of Chinese goods designed to punish the country over US allegations that Beijing systematically misappropriated American intellectual property.
The Massachusetts Democrat and Trump foe, who has been touted as a potential 2020 presidential candidate despite rejecting such speculation, said US trade policy needed a rethink and that she was not afraid of tariffs.

After years of mistakenly assuming economic engagement would lead to a more open China, the US government was waking up to Chinese demands for US companies to give up their know-how in exchange for access to its market, Warren said.


“The whole policy was misdirected. We told ourselves a happy-face story that never fit with the facts,” she said on Saturday, during a three-day visit to China that began on Friday.


“Now US policymakers are starting to look more aggressively at pushing China to open up the markets without demanding a hostage price of access to US technology.”

It's just part of Trump's genius. He ran up the Dow until it was enough to offset the trade war. MAGA!

LOL. What's a responsible voter to do, when both Republicans and Democrats are crazy? Why, the only sensible solution is to reject them both and vote Libertarian, amirite?

Hey, how about you just admit Trump is an authoritarian dumbass and quit with the deflections and apologetics. People who read your posts are more likely to laugh at Libertarians.

Everything Trump has said about Amazon so far is a blatant lie. The package delivery part of the post office is their most profitable activity. Furthermore, there is a federal law against USPS charging below cost to deliver packages. Also, Amazon pays the same rate as everyone else who delivers anywhere near the volume they do.

It not the fact that Amazon takes advantage of the USPS (which can't make a buck if it actually had the motivation to try), you dummy... it is the fact Bezos owns that WaPo rag that Drumpf doesn't like.

Needless to say, Amazon is starting to smell like a monopoly... We hate their low prices and want to shop at Walmart again! Break them up into a million pieces like the government did with Ma Bell. That will show that Bozo!

Yes, you are starting to see the light.

The Dow just went positive for the day... Don't people know we are in the middle of a freak'n trade war?!?

Only down 2600 now!

You should try to be positive about things.... e.g., up 4300 since Obama left the office!

Uncle Ted, you are the most tireless Trump apologist I know. I salute your stamina.

I don't want to make anybody's head explode, but Rasmussen shows Trump with a 50% approval rating. I'm not sure how this happened, but I don't expect it to last long after China shot back in the trade war he started over steel and aluminum. Hog futures are locked limit down, and most commodities are lower. Trump's electoral bread is buttered in the farm belt, so he better find a way to get this under control if he wants to make it through the next election to impeachment.

Up to 51% now... http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...04?fullbrowser
Obama was only 46% this far into his presidency.

Of course, I wouldn't read much into this... Rasmussen Reports may be biased. They picked Clinton to win over Drumpf in their 2016 picks.

Thanks but I can't help it... If I knew, before the election, that Drumpf would generate this much entertainment around here then I might have actually voted for him.

Sure you were. I think you're on the list to replace Huckabee when Trump grows tired of her.

Duh, socialists love protectionism.

Either reason is insanely stupid
