Indeed. We can’t openly talk shit about our trading partners, lest act against their will. It’s just not good business, ethics be damned.

- simonh 7y agoThat’s a really strange thing to say in the middle of a rapidly escalating, open trade war.
- the_duke 7y agoWe are quite far from a real trade war. Right now it's still more of a civilized sparring.
- natch 7y ago“rapidly escalating”
- lovedva 7y agoA real trade war would be devastating for China both economically and politically. Imagine this 300m workers having nothing to do all day but also no income to buy the rice to feed their families. The rest of the world could easily get by by moving production lines and factories to Vietnam and Indonesia and South America, etc, while paying a flat “tax” in increased prices across the board for cheap products.
