    China threatens retaliation

    So to sum up, in the US workers earn more and consume more than anywhere else and now they want a trade war to even things up.

    I imagine the US wants a trade war to try and force China to open its markets.

      ...and when China opens up it's markets will they buy from the US.

      Do you think they'll all be driving around in Chryslers ?

          And that's the crux of the matter. If the Anglo-Saxon economies stopped their over-reliance on financial manipulation (which led to the great recession of the last few years) and started making excellent stuff that people wanted to buy, like Germany does, perhaps they could have trade surpluses too.
          Hard Brexit now!

                    Not everything is about cars. America has big wide roads and cheap fuel, so they don’t have the same drivers for producing small cars.

                    However, the us produces a vast amount of quality products and services.

                    China makes it incredibly difficult to sell in China and the Chinese often steal US developed products and sell as their own.
