They should offer to open their markets, stop forced IP transfer, end cyber hacking of our companies, stop usurping territory in the south china sea, and cease their multi faceted undermining of our society with destabilizing ideology and chaos. Until then, the lying, cheating, stealing zipper heads remain a deadly enemy and should be treated as such.

So producing more cheap Chinese crap at a discount so brain dead Americans keep buying them

Himfirst ago

There seems like there ought to be a way to make this turn into a good thing. Obviously, the Chinese should not be allowed to buy assets such as real property in the US. But if they want to buy a bunch of Harley Davidsons to import back into their own country, that would be fine. On the face of the offer, one would think that the money would be better used as stimulus in their own country. Perhaps the Chinese could return the money to their taxpayers (fat chance.) If the Chinese were really just shopping and not buying up assets in the US, it could be a good thing.

Buy up some more California real estate, why don't you?

B-------D ago

Ha ha they are going to give us out worthless paper back into circulation and they will take all the good commercial realestate and farm land nation wide that they can get their hands on. Prices will SOAR and mexicans will be the only ones who will ever work again. THis would end in MASSIVE INFLATION HERE. FUCK CHINA.

Cat-hax ago

We'll yeah that's the plan,once they destroy the US they can just roll in and make it new China after they kill all the Mexicans of course.

ChiComs ago

You are actually correct when you stated that inflation would go up if china repatriated all their us dollars, but only because they would be in motion again. It would not be because certain areas of USA would have real estate prices go up.

Fuck China. Nothing but chemicals, broken shit, and shoddy garbage comes from China.

Reminder also: Do NOT buy your pets discount/dollar store toys or treats made in china. You'll be left with expensive vet bills from the toxic shit it does to their bodies.

I don't but the professor is very searchable as is the article. The chart is the hard one to find. Only ever seen it on the chan.

Except what do we produce that they need, that they can't produce on their own??? Nothing. Boomers and other ass holes selfishly sold out all our manufacturing to them already. The only products the USA exports now are financial fraud and weapons, and we sure as shit better not be selling the baby eating commie Chinese weapons. That would be suicide.

Gorillion ago

Western Powdered Baby Formula is like white gold dust in bugland.

Just don't let the chinks back-door buy any of the "US Companies" that produce the shit they're spending these trillions of dollars on.

I’m clever, not Jewish. I make things. I don’t sell things. Add it up. I make things, I’m American. Chinese want to be me. They have no idea how I can take two sticks and make a tree. Jews hate me.

Walk1 ago

It will not be the value of money they get in the American economy even if its worth that much. China has plenty of different markets to venture into.

Mylon ago

By "shopping spree", they mean buying up more US properties and companies to further emasculate the US.

AlphaOmega ago

Same shit they did in Australia.

Gorillion ago

No. It's about buying US exports, you twitchy homospastic.

bman0321 ago

increase its annual import of U.S. goods

Can't be us property, and this would be easily monitored.

Most likely machine tools and raw materials since the USA doesn't make anything else.

So... should we be investing in Haas? Lol

The Chinese seem to be in a position where they have to choose whether to accept actual goods in exchange for their USD or whether they get nothing at all for them. I expect they will buy anything and everything to get out of USD, then it will all stop.

True, our homes are literally going to be owned by Chinese. Lmao Trump you fucking moron.

US home ownership is at very low point right now, 60% last i checked.

US home ownership is at very low point right now, 60% last i checked.

Last I checked it was more expensive to own a home than rent, short and long-term, in all 50 states. Until the housing market rises, which is hasn't in over 15 years, it'll never be cheaper to own

Honey_Pot ago

In more than half (59%) of housing markets nationwide — 442 of 755 U.S. counties — renting a three-bedroom property is now more affordable than buying a median-priced home, according to a new report from real-estate data firm Attom Data Solutions. Among the 40 counties across the country with more than 1 million residents, only three had housing markets where it was still cheaper to buy a home than rent one: Wayne County (Detroit), Mich.; Philadelphia County, Pa.; and Cuyahoga County, Ohio.

One study by Trulia Trends estimated that the national average of 30 year fixed interest rates would have to increase to 10.5% before it would stop making sense to buy a home. [big grain salt]

A landlord with a variable rate mortgage might have his payments rise, he/she would have to be careful not to raise rents so much that people move out to another less-expensive place.

My mom sold her house in 2004 for $380k, the people that bought it replaced the roof removed the carpet and put in hard wood floors, and put a big privacy fence up. They sold it in 2016 for $389k.

Property taxes are a big reason why, I could pay $11k a year to rent a decent apartment out, or I could deal with a faggy mortgage and pay $7k a year in propertytaxes. Makes no sense.

eronburr ago

And your rent doesn't come with homeowners insurance or property maintenance and some with a HOA.
Renters insurance is always cheaper than homeowners because you're insuring much less total value.
HOA usually covers partial maintenance of amenities with neighbors but it's mostly to pay the salaries of middlemen "managing" these things.
Then you have city and state taxes.
PMI if you don't have a certain percent equity owned (which used to be negated with the fact that property values rose fast).

If you have debt you are an idiot... That is all.

Honey_Pot ago

If you don't know how to leverage debt, than I would agree.

Pwning4Ever ago

The reason people need to go into debt to buy houses is because of the Fed buying nearly $2Trillion in mortgage securities. Its all one big scam.

B-------D ago

This is also very true. Plus there are MASSIVE piles of bullshit that waste money if you want to build a house. No one can just build a house as they like where they like. This shit makes it more and more expensive. ITs a big scam. Don't play.

jwm5514 ago

Not if you never have any intention of paying it back.

you mean because you will go into bankrupt or because society will collapse before then?

In my city they already are.

Irvine? Vancouver?

BumFightChamp ago

I didnt know Vancouver is in the US

Pwning4Ever ago

The fed has put a lot of upward pressure on housing prices buy buying a shitload of mortgage securities. Now the Chinese get to price is out of homes too. Great. This is great for Trump's real estate crap I guess.

My thought exactly. Aquiring assets is not the same as trading consumer products.

It's a good start. Next is ramp up US manufacturing to reduce imports from china.
