Still more to go, 245% is only almost halfway to closing the trade deficit!

The Dog-Eaters were shitting themselves over just 45% tariffs. U.S. orders came to a stand still then, and Chinese manufacturers worried about profit then... Now at 245% it will clamp down on their manufacturing base completely.

TL:DR - The CCP are lying their asses off.

Their plunge protection team has been buying stocks every day since this stuff began. Their economy’s faker than ever.

Exactly.

The Chink's PPT can only buy so much time. After 2-3 Months the entire manufacturing base will be shut down.

A key position to watch is their mass shipping ports for activity. If there is a 60% reduction in shipping good out, then you know it will be visible.

...AND the Jews who off-shored U.S. manufacturing to China for $Shekels$

Fuck the CCP, but China’s middle class is bigger than the entire USA population.
How do you really think this is going to turn out?
