(8,692 posts)As you sit here demanding a mercantilist trade war you are also saying that anyone who retaliates in any form is now a bully? Please comprehend for a moment just how ridiculous a position that is. Or as Nelson Muntz might put it "Stop Hitting Yourself, Stop Hitting Yourself, Stop Hitting Yourself"
In any event you don't understand the tariff system or the WTO or how they are linked and don't appear to have a particularly strong interest in actually learning about it either. As a matter of fact... effective tomorrow China is introducing a new round of tariff cuts. If you refer to the recent Chinese tariff on automobile imports, that is strictly symbolic retaliation of zero impact since it only applies to large vehicles such as limousines and enormous SUV's.
