Beijing's measures come in the wake of duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration earlier this week.
  • China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
  • The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
  • U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

    If they keep that promise, that’s mostly good news IMO. Interference doesn’t always go so well.
    I think Afghanistan is a good example, we were there for 20 years, trying to establish democracy. And now they are right back where they were 20 years ago.
    We can’t keep policing such countries indefinitely. This is a link of our (Denmark) losses, as a small country that helped the UN effort.

    It’s horrible how they treat their own population, but we can’t control the entire Muslim world. And all Muslim dominated countries are horrible AFAIK. So I’m good with staying out, as long as they don’t create trouble here. Problem is that they do, sometimes for stupid religious reasons.
