Five decades ago I was a free trade fan club member. A couple of decades ago I decided taxes are better raised at the border along with tradable citizenship control systems. So Trump has done what I want. China can be dog in manager and refuse to sell. Bad idea as they earn no money by keeping dirt in the ground.

They'll have less money to buy oil and stuff.

USA will go into the rare earths business or others will do so.

Evil doer megalomaniacs in Beijing wanting to conquer Taiwan are not exponents of VVV.

But they're in good company and more virtuous than most.

It's false that England was a conquering extractive resource hunter. They built railroads, cities, introduced a great legal system and free enterprise to Hong Kong making it best place in world. Wondrous benefits galore to the benighted masses around the world.

China should just go on selling minerals for what the market will bear. Ignore Trump tariffs. Trump taxing USA citizens is up to them.

I'd reduce both taxes and tariffs to zero. Sell spectrum, roads, tradable citizenship, water, sewerage, and other publicly owned assets at what the market will bear which would provide enough revenue to maintain systems and civilisation. Make crime pay. Crime should be profitable, not a cost.
