You are already buying from China.The way things where heading there is no way I would of bought any thing from China
Just silly .
It wasn't as much about the price as it was about dealing with a single person for the transaction who seemed to have experience dealing with Ali*** whatever vendors. The part that drew myself and many others in was not having any experience with foreign purchases. And the supposed "group buy" seemed like a way to limit risk.My faint recollection is that it was not so much about price in some of these transactions as it was about convenience and simplicity.
Hmmm, makes me want to ditch BofA.Not always! The world of electronic payments has no guarantees.
Yes I have been hearing a lot about this. The coal shortage that is due to Chinese Government trying to save face against Australia is causing massive power shedding in the manufacturing sectors. Sometimes even when you have power and can build your product your still out of luck because one of your major suppliers has no parts due to the same issue. It's dog eat dog now in China as everyone scrambles to make some money. So be really careful about buying stuff that does not have a reliable US based distributor.No I’ve been following it for a while .
I’m sure the guy ment well but things are not normal any where , it’s been hard to get any thing out of China
People have been working 2 days a week
The have no power to run the businesses
And no power for heat .
It is what it is
I’m sure the guy meant well but there is nothing he could do ??
When the news was talking about ChinaGov advising citizens to stockpile food for a hard winter I didn’t find ‘planned indicators’ being discussed. At this point that sentence and a couple of other things “known now” confirm my gut that “they” knew something.The coal shortage that is due to Chinese Government trying to save face against Australia is causing massive power shedding in the manufacturing sectors
Very funny we apparently wrote the same thing at the same time.They (the chinese) shot themselves in the foot.
They (the chinese) shot themselves in the foot....lol
The USA is less able to ‘answer’ than Australia but still…
We should tariff China more; they are unable to “answer” other than podiatrillic projectile acceleration.
I am not sure I understand that math? Are you talking about CARB payments? As far as I know a California auto manufacturer (Tesla) receives large payments from domestic and foreign manufacturers who do not meet CARB standards.Compare THAT to California paying foreign automakers $10,000 bonuses for crippling hybrid cars so they fit under an arbitrary bar that keeps their usability close to that of shorter-range all electric cars.
I’m a little ok with trade imbalances Adam Smith-wise. But the national debt and economics manipulated to offshoring formerly domestic products are MAJOR problems.Elimination of federal deficit, to the point of paying down national debt. Elimination of trade imbalance, reversing what accumulated from history.
Exports would become a hot commodity,

That is not the way I heard it went. This is pretty much the way I heard events played out.The Chinese started a pissing match with the aussie’s over the aussie wine doing very well in China taxing the wine at a very high tariff without realizing that most of their coal and iron ore comes from Australia. The aussie’s retaliated by restricting Chinese access to coal and iron ore. They (the chinese) shot themselves in the foot....lol
That BMW I3 with the motorcycle engine was not a big player. Tesla has received huge payments from foreign and domestic manufacturers that far exceeded anything that BMW received. BMW most likely paid back that money for all their non CARB compliant cars.
