How To Win The Economic War Against China


2m read
·Nov 7, 2024

Let's talk about the real tariff war. It's between the United States and China. This is an economic war going on. They do not play by the rules; they steal American companies' IP. We can't use their court systems. They litigate us with our American courts, and a good example of that is what's going on right now with TikTok, where we have a law that says it's Chinese spyware. The American people have decided to shut it down on January 19th, and the supreme leader of China is using our courts to sue us to stop that. I can't do that in China.

So, what he's talking about when Trump talks about tariffs is, can we use them to change behavior? Let me give you an example: if you increase tariffs on China by 400%, which I want to do, you won't buy any more yoga mats from there. You'll buy them from Vietnam or India or somewhere else, or maybe you make the yoga mats in the United States. I want to go to Defcon five on China, 'cause I actually live in the real world. I'm not listening to a professor at some university; I actually do business there, and I'm getting screwed.

So, I would love to really push back and blow their eyeballs out until they come to the table. I like tariffs against China. I'm not a big fan of tariffs everywhere, but he talked about John Deere in Mexico moving them back to the U.S. They changed their behavior. You use tariffs as tactical warheads, and right now we should be using that as a blowtorch on China to squeeze them to make a fair playing field with us. While we're the largest economy, let's do it.

Let's squeeze them! 400% tariffs! A lot of people think I'm crazy with this. No, I'm not! They will be at the table in 48 hours with a 400% tariff because their economy is weak. Let's hit them when they're down. Let's do it now!
