possibly: (1) Re <<The US is still the bread basket of the world. ans as of yet is home to the reserve currency.>> ... unsure because soya can be grown anywhere and would be everywhere should usa decide it does not wish to sell by way of unwillingness to buy folks are always sceptical until not scmp.com can always count on the neo con deep-state to offer up explanations carnegie.ru dunno, all soya farms can be made to look the same reuters.com (2) Re <<China's prosperity was built on it's trade with America. At a cost to America of over $550 billion a year in trade deficit a losses of tens of thousands of American manufacturing jobs being transferred to China.>> ... and here i thought the china prosperity was built on hard work, thrifty savings, astute investment, and studious learning. If just on trade w/ america, mexico should be prosperous, and canada would be stupendously wealthy. If america did not buy from china would have bought from elsewhere at higher than china and lower than america cost, and given scale, waste of time as each of the smaller economies would have blown a fuse on the wage front. just a guess. (3) Re <<With some equalization in pricing Westerners might just as well purchase western manufactured products.>> ... yeup, should work well, paying tariff on BMWs and Mercedes instead of buying USA domestically assembled cars with some China parts. The protocol 'worked' really well when the tire tariffs were tee-ed up by the previous administration. The the failed tire experiment goes full spectrum. Should work as expected if history is a guide nytimes.com (4) Re <<If things got nasty, the US could also encourage American corporations to locate Latin American countries where costs & regulations are also low, diverting them from China.>> ... yeup, if only mexico and brazil and agentina and chile could engage with more FDI from USA then they would cease to be mexico and brazil and argentina and chile. (5) Re <<Allowing animosity to direct policy between the two countries, is a double edged sword on which Neither leader wishes to fall. I believe they will be forced to work out an amiable agreement. Present actions is posturing for more serious negotiations>> ... believe the two shall try to work together for reasons other than what the msm makes it out to be. (6) Re <<China warns Canada of serious consequences. But I don't see any intention of suggesting with drawl of the $1.86B purchase of Nevsun Resources. (NSU on the TSX) Nor is there any indication of selling vacating it's $15.1 Billion ownership of Nexen by Chinese state-owned entity CNOOC Ltd (0883.HK). >> ... i think perhaps china meant 'serious consequences for canada' as opposed to simply 'serious consequences' and certainly not consequences for china. the situation is shifting as we go back and forth, seemingly even faster than the way japan reversed its ways when about to put chinese fishing boat captain on trial reuters.com - believe at the time japan saw the incident in true light, that its entire industrial base can be cratered by lack of sourcing for a few tons of needed dirt on the periodic table. canada does not need the same dirt. intel, amd, qcom, etc etc do. (7) Re <<These countries are too financially involved with each other to be free of risk or damage to themselves, in an all out trade war. However their bickering seems to terrify many. Negotiation is the process of melding contrary points>> ... sound about correct, as china is not russia no matter what the neo cons try to flim flam. interim splash damage can be substantial, to enterprise, valuation, and such
