The left calls tariffs a sales tax on Americans. It’s not. What happens when you put a tariff on China? China eats the tariff because there are several low labor cost competitor countries. If you put an across the board tariff on other countries, they will eat the cost to remain competitive. That is generally how it works for low barrier to entry goods. Most of what China sells.
For high barrier to entry goods like cars, you set the tariff at a point where they choose to build the product in the US. Thus avoiding the tariff. Why does that happen? Because the US is the biggest and most profitable market for most international goods.
What about strategic things like steel? That will cost a little more (but decrease with energy prices). However, material costs are a very small fraction of the cost of consumer goods. Labor and overhead are much bigger factors. And typically, other countries will not move a strategic good to the US.
What about exports if the other countries do something similar. Well they already are. Tariff targeting will get them to lower their tariffs and make it better for our goods. And a lot of things we export are things that they don’t make or make to our level.
That is the short version.
I'm curious...
Were you for or against the last major event that occurred right before COVID? I'm speaking, of course, about the Hong Kong Extradition Attempt.
I think China may have released that bioweapon on purpose for several reasons - one being to bring the protests in Hong Kong under control. Covid for the most part shut Hong Kong down. I don't know if the CCP expected it to go world wide - then again, US interests had to change an upcoming election. Much of the press here in the US was fabricated to make things appear worse than they actually were - hence, mail in ballots. The deep state US interests were in bed with the CCP regarding what was coming out of that lab. That bug was created by Ft Detrick and DARPA. There are patent contracts that date back to 2018 and 2019 showing there were several entities playing with it.
Hong Kong was/is a tragedy. The changes to the security law was the nail in the coffin. A warning for Taiwan and I think most Taiwanese can see the handwriting on the wall. Did you hear the speech President Lai gave? He stated that the ROC is much older than the CCP - so who is the motherland? Brilliant! The CCP still does not have a come back and have been silent.
I do remember hearing a lot about the Hong Kong protests right before COVID hit and the way they suddenly died has always made me wonder if China released it early and that's why the Dems seemed so disorganized for the first couple months of 2020.
What if.... the globalists knew the CCP could not resist using that bioweapon to quell their own internal problems, but they were used by the globalists as cover for the much larger scale operation the globalists had already put into motion? Something to consider. I say this because China has paid a very heavy price and is still being effected by the outbreak. So much so, it could lead to the demise of the CCP itself. No matter what the CCP's hegemonic aspirations of global dominance may be, they would not deliberately set into motion a plan that could jeopardize their own existence. That is not how they operate.
It is an otherworldly ask, to ask a fellow GAW user to watch a video. But allow me to indulge. You are clearly thinking logically, but greater context on the Comms involved with the COVID event is necessary.

Interesting. I was aware of many of those comms prior. Nice to see someone place them in one video. The format was original.
There is no doubt that the globalists had planned the scamdemic years in advance. But, to what extent was the CCP involved in the plan? I surmise that the CCP got played and were set up to be the fall guys? That scenario seems more likely to me based on the MO of the globalists and the Chinese.
According to my sources, people were already getting sick in China as far back as Sept. - possibly even Aug. I was reading reports of something happening with regards to a respiratory virus on the loose during the summer in China on a couple of global infectious disease reporting sites. It got my attention. I had patients come in with a weird bug during the summer and thought it was odd. It was too early for flu season and the symptoms were different - especially the crippling fatigue. Most told me it was the sickest they had ever been in their lives. Several of them were sick for months. So it was already on my radar.
The CCP was completely inept in their attempts to contain what was happening. No surprise there. They are still dealing with outbreaks and people continue to die. The jab only complicated the problem. It is still unknown how many in China have died in the last 4 years. It is in the millions.
I do not believe that the CCP were willing participants beyond a few corrupt individuals that would sell their own mother for a few bucks - but they still did not know the larger picture - few did. You can always count on the greed of the Chinese and no doubt that factor was taken into consideration. The fact remains that the bioweapon was conceived and developed in the US and then shipped to China. The Chinese are great at imitation, but lack innovation.
The globalists keep everything very compartmentalized. That is how they manage to pull stuff like this off. It is not until one stands back and takes all the data points and links them together does one get to see a larger picture and understand how all those seemingly disparate data points come together.
As a side: With all the hub bub talk lately about the BRICS, here is a video that may shed some light on what is happening currently to the RMB and why the BRICS is mostly propaganda and no real threat. The RMB was supposed to be the backbone of the currency foundation for BRICS. The CCP is always hyping up their capabilities to the point they actually believe their own propaganda. I could go on, but I will let you make of this what you will. This is a channel I watch frequently for good analysis on China. Irreversible Decline: The Unfolding Fate of the RMB. | Digging to China
Have a great day and thanks for sharing.
I got real sick for a couple weeks right after Thanksgiving in 2019 after having a plumber over who had just gotten over the flu he had said. I also recall stories of the virus being found in wastewater samples from as far back as October 2019 in some cities so the actual release was probably back in September and it had already spread to the US midwest at well before the news ever mentioned something going on.
Very quickly into the video, it is stated that the purpose of the COVID event was in the Lockdowns themselves. And how this was planned beforehand by the World Military Games that took place in, of all places, Wuhan China. Tell me, does "World Military" sound like something Q Team would be a part of? Why yes, that is in line with how Q views the battle against the Pyramid.
While no doubt 'pandemics' were in the Globalist playbook, an objective look at the Comms reveal that COVID itself was a Military Op from the very start.
"Same place 1 month apart.
100+ Countries Begin getting infected with COVID
100+ Countries Begin Military Olympics
What if this isn’t a coincidence? Notice the “preparation” done for the World Military Games exactly 1 month before COVID officially begins."
