Around the close of Hong Kong trading hours, Beijing retaliated against President Trump's tariffs by hiking levies on U.S. goods to 125%, up from the prior 84%. In a notable shift, the Chinese Communist Party announced it would "no longer respond" to any further tariff increases from Washington.

China had already raised tariffs on US imports to 84 percent, which already had already shown no effect on Americans at all.

Here are the retaliatory measures reportedly being contemplated by China in response to the 104 percent tariffs imposed by the US government.

1) Retaliatory Tariff increases on U.S. Agricultural Products including Soybeans and Sorghum.

Whooptie-fucking-doo. No one cares about Big Ag's profit margin.
Feed it to the cattle.


2) Banning import of U.S. Poultry into China

Whooptie-fucking-doo 2.0. Again, no one cares about Big Ag's profit margin.
Lower prices for Americans on rotisserie chicken and KFC are NOT regarded as a problem for Americans.


3) Suspending Sino-U.S. cooperation on Fentanyl-related issues

Whooptie-fucking-doo 3.0. There is nothing the Chinese can do to stop American junkies from taking illegal drugs.

4) Countermeasures in the Service related Sector

China already has "The Great Firewall". That card had already been played long ago.
Nobody here cares.


5) Banning the import of US Films into China

Feature, not bug. Let hollywood burn.

6) Investigating the Intellectual Property Benefits of US Companies operating in China

Threatening IP rights that they've never shown any respect for before?
