Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Also..... China threatening or imposing rare earth restrictions are retaliatory actions... Tariffs are being used as political leverage by Trump to get Chinese officials to enforce copy right and ip violations.... ... US companies aren't banned from buying RE's or other tariffs products.... Huwaei ban is the only tool to regulate at the moment, which is why all the other G8 countries are on the same page with the blacklist.. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

For anyone Big problem could averted if China allows restrictions on Huwaei violations imo... Tariffs are pretty much over kill here and hurt the western consumers the most like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

Hum Here is the opposite because of currency Our currency is down against US Dollar (where more than half our food comes from) so food is up in cost But the currency isn't down much against other nations including China and we have no tarrifs so Walmart stuff and electronics didn't rise much Food and rent is what went up the most.

Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 @Economy And anyone interested https://www.investopedia.com/why-contrarians-say-china-s-rare-earth-trump-card-may-backfire-4690070?utm_campaign=quote-yahoo&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=referral&yptr=yahoo This is a pretty good analysis of the rare earth chip in the trade war... Note that China is the largest supplier @ 16% numerous other sources will gladly pick up the slack should they try to limit them... Much like oil and the middle east, cutting production will ultimately reduce their share of the market and simply cause a hiccup in prices like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.
