Date: August 5th, 2019 6:02 PM Author: spectacular erotic legend plaza If Treasury designates China a currency manipulator under a 2015 law, it is supposed to spend a year trying to resolve the problem through negotiations.
Should those talks fail, the U.S. can take a number of small steps in retaliation, including stopping the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corp., a government development agency, from financing any programs in China. Trouble is, the United States already suspended OPIC operations in China years ago — to punish Beijing in the aftermath of the bloody 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square.
So naming China a currency manipulator is mostly “just a jaw-boning exercise,” said Amanda DeBusk, chair of the international trade department at the law firm of Hughes Hubbard & Reed and a former Commerce Department official. “There’s no immediate consequence.”

U.S. enjoys best manufacturing jobs growth of the last 30 years
Published: Jan 4, 2019 2:14 p.m. ET
Manufacturing employment in the U.S. is at the same level as 69 years ago
Last year, 264,000 new manufacturing jobs were added, representing the highest number of new workers since 1988. As a percent of the total workforce, manufacturing rose for the first time since 1984. |

Date: August 5th, 2019 6:16 PM Author: kink-friendly depressive so we need 30 more years of Trump's trade war before manufacturing stops bleeding jobs and the trade deficit starts going DOWN instead of up?
also
And despite the U.S. economy setting new records daily for its continuous stretch of growth, now at 10 years and counting, the manufacturing sector has been in contraction. According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. factory production declined at an annual rate of 2.2% during the second quarter, even as the overall economy expanded at a 2.1% pace.
Such statistics would appear to collide with Trump's oft-stated goal of a U.S. manufacturing revival, starting as early as his 2016 presidential campaign.
During a speech in August 2016 in Detroit -- home of the nation's auto industry and headquarters to manufacturing giants General Motors (GM - Get Report) and Ford (F - Get Report) -- he said he would enter into "no trade deal unless it increases our economic growth and strengthens our manufacturing base." |

|
Date: August 5th, 2019 6:19 PM Author: kink-friendly depressive Maybe because 30 years of presidents from both parties were soundly advised by economists that raising taxes on US consumers wouldn't do shit to bring back manufacturing jobs?
Trump's policy has been a failure at stanching the bleeding. All it's done is increase taxes on consumer goods and rock the markets.

|
Date: August 5th, 2019 6:22 PM Author: kink-friendly depressive "China's latest move to weaken the currency could ratchet up trade tensions with the Trump administration, while also sending a signal that the country's officials are prepared for a protracted dispute. And that could spell political trouble for the U.S. president as the 2020 elections approach.
"China plays the long game," Pantheon Macroeconomics, a highly respected forecasting firm, wrote Monday in a report to clients. "The higher the tariffs go, the further Mr. Trump's chance of reelection falls." "
For the U.S. industrial sector, a major risk is that volatile foreign-exchange rates with key trading partners could rattle manufacturing executives, prompting them to cancel or delay factory upgrades or assembly-line expansions until the dispute is resolved.
"The real impact of the current friction is the confusion it creates for businesses that must reassess their supply chains and investment decisions amid uncertainty about where tariffs may fall," said Christopher Smart at Barings Investment Institute.
The U.S. is a big exporter to China of manufactured goods like transportation equipment, computers and electronics, as well as non-manufacturing items like agricultural products, oil and gas, and services like travel and professional services.
"The manufacturing sector's woes are plentiful and mounting, with trade tensions and uncertainties, soft global growth, production and trade, inventory overbuild and the strong U.S. dollar," said Mickey Levy, chief economist for the Americas and Asia at Berenberg Capital Markets. "The weakness will persist as long as China's economy remains weak and suppresses global trade volumes and growth, and until the U.S. and China reach an agreement that eases trade tensions and uncertainties." |

This provided stability to world markets, made Chinese exports cheap, etc. The Chicoms are now reneging on the deal they made and are devaluing as both a shield and a sword against Trump's tariffs.

read up on Triffin's Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma
Basically, so long as the US Dollar is the world's reserve currency, it must maintain a trade deficit. However, that also gives that nation and its central bank the privilege of printing money and exporting the inflation. It keeps domestic borrowing costs low and asset prices elevated, while allowing financial institutions to borrow cheaply and go out and plunder the world's real wealth. |
