"For President Trump trade and trade wars are simple. But the fact is
that neither is the case.

Tariffs on steel and aluminium push up costs for domestic firms,
retaliatory tariffs cut their access to expensively won foreign markets,
ruin plans, slash profits and threaten investment - while jobs move
abroad to areas not involved in the trade war.

New investment in the US is based on the country's huge technological
advantages and a highly skilled workforce, not President Trump's tweets
or even his tariffs.

The US has stayed the richest and most powerful economy in the world
since 1945 by creating and benefiting from the current world trade
system.

President Trump seems not to realise that simple truth, and is
threatening to smash the system. "

We buy aluminium cases for our embedded systems. American design. Made
in China. Not cheap but very good quality. 10+ years we have been buying
these. The yanks have stopped supplying them. Guess where we will go
looking for a replacement. I would guess at 1/3 price. After setting up
all the engineering *again* we won't be going back. Will we. Stupid or
what. Make a world market. Then throw it away.

Thank you for your comment. I don't think I have the option to buy
British. Even the Yank boxes were made in China so I'm guessing China is
where I'm gonna start looking. So solly Joe. Don't blame me. Trumpty
queered your pitch. You OK. You farm subsidy whore. Suppliers of box
have to bite bullet.

Like fanboi you promote Chicom shit over British goods.

Why do you hate the home land producers so much.

Move to China and live happy.

We live in a Global economy. We buy from many companies in many
countries and those companies buy their parts and materials to make
their components from many other companies in many other countries and
so on. A single component on a motherboard could contain stuff from
across the world. The machinery which makes them can be made from parts
sourced from across the world. The supply chain is so complex cowboy
that what you are saying is meaningless. Everyone everywhere is
competing and supplying stuff and getting a taste. Even the leather in
your saddle may come from China.

>Why do you hate the home land producers so much.

The goat's going to get jealous if you keep giving the straw man so much
attention.

>Move to China and live happy.

I'm quite happy here. I would like to visit China. Maybe when I retire.
