With China as a globally dominating economy with huge purchasing power, and lacking IP protection, the 0% tariffs is definitely a smart move to maximize the people’s welfare.

There’s a reason why even basic econ classes talk about the effects of sanctions on a country like Cuba. It freezes/slows development time to the domestic rate, and tariffs effectively function the same way unless the import is extremely cheap compared to domestic production. Also why they teach about competitive advantage—people in China can get cheaper goods as a result

Sometimes I see this woman’s videos, which are great, and think maybe she learned to speak English on TikTok.

Edit: I’m not saying her English isn’t perfect, it is, she’s perfectly fluent, I mean she the way she speaks. Idk I am actually having a hard time describing it now

Her english is amazing, I just mean with the way she emotes and stuff while speaking. Her english is perfect.

Edit: Emotes isn’t a word apparently, Idk how to say what I am trying to say. Her English is apparently better than mine.
