Beijing's measures come in the wake of duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration earlier this week.
  • China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
  • The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
  • U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

      So you think that we should have split off America during the Jan 6th riots? At what point is a country a country and needs to defend it’s existence and when is it not?

          So anarchy? Every time anarchy happens dictatorships follow. If the country is lucky, they’ll eventually have a representative government. You can look at the history of Israeli Kibbutz to see how anarchy and communism fails. The problem with your idealism, which frankly if I could have my perfect world wouldn’t look all that different, is that it’s impossible. It’s been tried over and over to various levels of failure.

          All I’m doing is trying to explain the situation, I’m not trying to give a right or wrong to it. YOU are assuming I am.

              Well ask away. I’m mostly here to try to get westerners to realize that their black and white view of the world is simply wrong or impossible.
