Trump appoints 'Death by China' author Peter Navarro to run new White House trade off

Re: Trump appoints 'Death by China' author Peter Navarro to run new White House trade

Chestnuts roasting as Chuang-tzu pops from his mother's chest while riding an ox to Mongolia, is not quite the way it will be, as China now seizes ports.

At a more basic level, the claim that bourgeois society is "fundamentally self-contradictory" is a consequence of Hegel's universal thesis -- it is a claim which holds for every society.'

The rmb/yuan is now off 7% against the USD from where it was this time last year. The only thing the new year brought to the CCP Dictator-Tyrants and manipulators in Beijing was a quick drop overnight of 1% for the yuan.

CCP are facing a tough choice as we enter the new year. It is fast coming down to either burn up the Party's forex reserves defending the Party's yuan from falling toward 8 to a buck or just haul off to make a sudden 20% depreciation.

It's a Hobson's choice because either way the yuan moves toward or to 8 to a buck. This would set off a currency depreciation war in East Asia and beyond. Overnight yuan went to 7.1 against the buck from 6.8...during the holidays actually, which still is bad news for the CCP and its in-house monopoly money yuan/rmb.

And either way CCP Money Boyz get the Trump Prize as the currency manipulators CCP has always been, officially declared by the U.S. Department of Treasury. Commerce Department begins to investigate tariff responses and the rmb/yuan tanks globally. CCP economy goes bust.

CCP can't afford a pissed off U.S. Government and they know they can't afford it. CCP Dictator-Tyrants in Beijing know what they're up against. Just as a reminder however, here it is with more of it besides...


Dr. Navarro is the author of Death by China: Confronting the Dragon -- A Global Call to Action and in his recent National Interest article, “The Trump Doctrine: Peace Through Strength,” the UC-Irvine economics professor wrote, “Those who insist Donald Trump has no foreign policy are simply not listening. The ‘Trump Doctrine’ is a page right out of Ronald Reagan’s playbook: peace through economic and military strength.”

“Trump,” continued Professor Navarro, “will no longer tolerate a mercantilist China. He will firmly crack down on unfair trade practices like illegal export subsidies, currency manipulation, and intellectual property theft. That’s not just good trade policy -- it’s good foreign policy, too. China’s rapidly advancing military strength has been its ability to economically grow much faster than its strategic rivals. In other words, by rebalancing trade between the U.S. and China, Trump will also rebalance the military equation in America’s favor.”

Yet in terms of foreign and international policy and relations and CCP Dictator-Tyrants in particular, maybe I like this Trump China guy best of 'em all...

Stephen Moore, an adviser to the U.S. president-elect, told the press, “Too many namby-pamby people in the foreign policy shop are saying ‘Oh my gosh we cannot do this, we might insult the Chinese.’ I don’t care if we insult the Chinese. Taiwan is our ally. That is a country that we have backed because they believe in freedom. We ought to back our ally, and if China doesn’t like it, screw them. We see what’s happening in China the way they are saber-rattling out there in the East, it is about time we do what Reagan did, we stand up to these bullies.”

I dunno if we could call Trump 'peacemaker' but we might get some peace out of this fairly soon and without spending the next 20 years dancing around because so many are afraid the music will stop.

american markets, like europe alway recieve a bump this time of year, as we celebrate new year.
china celebrates a different new year, which is when they recieve a bump.
take note, trump isnt in power yet, hasnt pushed through a single reform yet, meaning, the current markets are pointless regarding trump.
as for your guy preferring trade with taiwan, good luck with that.

Markets have put the RMB/Yuan into a nosedive irrespective of holidays, government spending, the relatively mild consumer spending per capita in the CCP.

CCP economy is grinding more than it is growing in a massive overall slowdown. Very few global bank analysts and government analysts of EU or the USA, Japan, the G-20 (19) ever figured it would be the currency that would signal the "major adjustment" to the CCP economy everyone expected to become manifest, beginning in 2016 as it has begun to occur.

Until mid 2015 when the CCP stock markets crashed fast, hard, completely, everyone in the global economy and governance had been searching to presage the PRC Lehman Brothers event that would signal the inevitable collapse and crash of the top heavy and moribund state corporate economy of the CCP. Eventually the researchers concluded that, because China is the CCP, it wasn't likely to happen in the same way as the 2008 housing-led crash of the USA. So if not a Lehman Bros. event to make the crash of the CCP economy, then what was it going to be.

Turns out it is the currency. The RMB/Yuan. The CCP's monopoly money that had been staring everyone in the face all along. And it's the markets that are trashing the yuan/rmb.

CCP always kept the yuan artificially low. This time, however, the Party's Personal Bank, er, the People's Bank of China which is the central bank is burning up forex reserves to beef up the terminally ill yuan. To strengthen it. To strengthen the dying patient. It's a complete reversal...what's called a Reserve Reversal. Sell forex reserves rather than increasingly accumulate 'em. Cuase you got to do it. No choice other than to suddenly devalue by a large percentage, in this instance 20% off (maybe 15% off). In one stroke. Desperation.

Nobody expects the markets to reverse themselves anytime soon to begin appreciating the yuan/rmb. There will be only the further depreciation of it. Global markets have expected a "major adjustment event" to the CCP economy since CCP exports began their continuing slide in 2012 and manufacturing began its concomitant decline. They didn't know what the trigger would be, so now they know. Now we know.

Donald Trump & Co. are about to ramp up the pace.
