#trump and his dense #Republican cronies are SHOCKED at China’s predictable assertive response to the #TrumpAdministration imposition of very high tariffs on Chinese products. China ‘panicked’ they say… no, quite the opposite. China didn’t panic at all, they’ve been planning this for months, ever since the ‘fentanyl tariffs’ earlier this year. Have US diplomats and planners not been paying attention to China’s new breed of ‘wolf warriors’, ‘little pinks’ and armies of online activists? The country is taking strong, assertive and expansionist positions across all arenas, political, economic, foreign affairs, trade, and military. We have poked the Chinese tiger, and it is roaring its defiance. Not the expected response by naive US operatives. The stage is set now for a major #TradeWar that could last long enough to drive global #Recession. Hang on to your hats, folks. #economy #economics #tariffs #TariffsWar #China #RepublicansOwnThis #RepublicansDidThis
