On April 17th the U.S. Trade Representative's office is expected to impose fees of up to $1.5M per port call for ships made in China and for $500k to $1M if the ocean carrier owns a single ship made in China or even has one on order from a Chinese shipyard.
So btw America literally is a shithole to trade with
I kinda doubt this chonker integrated himself with workers and the peasants
CCP hands typed this post
Ah yes bro I'm sure really want you to basically kneecap your trade even more
He lived like one he never brushed his tweet or washed his hands lol
The problem with your image is that under early Maoism there was no billionaire class and everyone was living under similar conditions. Trumps cuts remove the semi-privileged state bureaucrats but don't do anything about the government officials, capitalists and billionaires. not really a fair comparison
he was literally innawoods fighting guerilla warfare for decades, I'd let myself get fat too if I did all that and won
I had no idea about this shi. crazy stuff, man...
also, from that thread:
Some carriers have said they'll just move the capacity serving the U.S. to other trade lanes altogether.
Similarly the major ports (LA, Long Beach, Houston, and New York) will be unable to keep up with the flood of extra volumes and are likely to become congested, similar to what we saw during Covid.
the original proposal is a requirement that within 7 years 15% of U.S. exports must travel on a ship that's made in America and crewed by Americans.
The U.S. did not produce any container ships in 2024. And the number we produce in any given year rounds to zero. The reason is that American made container ships of 3,000 TEUs cost the same price as the modern container ships from China of 24,000 TEUs.
One shipyard in China made more commercial ships last year than the total number the U.S. has produced since World War Two.
this shit is crazy man, absolutely crazy. do these people really think the market fixes shit by magic or something?
cant compete
so must cope by charging stupid fees at the detriment of their own people
Kek, what level of retardation
cant compete
if china can compete why do they have massive trade barriers?
you're clearly a 500lb fatty who never opened a book, let alone studied the ccp history
china has apple, starbucks, tesla, and many other big companies. how many big companies in china are doing business in usa? they confiscated tiktok and banned binance, you 600lb fatty retard
why do they have massive trade barriers though? can they compete or not?
they don't, 500lb fatty. kys
You forgot Huawei, the biggest threat to american tech companies
they don't, 500lb fatty. kys
sad little chinkoid. west taiwan will collapse and youll be eating eachother within a year.
Didn't some company that carries American wing assemblies for Airbus complain about this shit? How does this help American jobs?
Just trust the plan
taiwan belongs to china. banana taiwanese will be re-educated, and their arrogance will be erased. you 6000lb fatties will eat cockroach powder and cockroach milk. you did this to yourselves. people like you are a product of cultural subversion, dumbed down and fattened up with ultraprocessed food, you greasy mullet magat
It was utterly retarded for the US to ever give up its shipbuilding capability. This is exactly what is needed to reverse that stupidity.
west taiwanese are so stupid. you will kneel and be slaves. no more american handouts for you, ricedick.
Trump basically is making an autarkic technocracy kek
If I wanted to rebuild American shipbuilding capability I would device a 15-year plan with tax breaks, incentives, and government contracts to do so.
This looks more like what I would do if I wanted to sabotage the American economy, create rampant inflation and destroy supply lines. Sounds absolutely bonkers anon.
this shit is crazy man, absolutely crazy. do these people really think the market fixes shit by magic or something?
The market follows economic incentive and these incentives are large enough to create shipbuilding at scale in the US.
let me know when you can build a ship in a couple of days to solve the upcoming mess
did you even try reading the thread the OP posted?
let me know when you can build a ship in a couple of days to solve the upcoming mess
7 years?
i think they'll just wait him out.
both are based
So what's supposed to happen in the meantime?
Proposed plan would take effect on April 17th.
based, we need to return to Cold War era world economy with 2 completely separate economic blocks with zero trade, muttmerica and its vassals vs BRICS shitskins
the original proposal is a requirement that within 7 years 15% of U.S. exports must travel on a ship that's made in America and crewed by Americans.
Isn't that just the Jones Act?
nta, but I propose to use the already existing ships in the meantime
The issue is America is treating its vassals like shit. Why would they subject themselves to this?
The West traded with the Eastern bloc all the time.
social wars part 2
Taiwan will be reintegrated as a cat girl colony.
How many riveters are there in the US right now anon?
What existing ships? There aren't any. Just 23 low tonnage ones. Did you read the OP?
