China will open up its economy further, and its door to the outside will only get wider, with foreign and domestic firms allowed to compete on an equal footing, Premier Li Keqiang said at the close the country's annual parliament session on Tuesday.
The familiar-sounding pledges from Beijing came as the prospect of a global trade war loomed in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump imposition of hefty import tariffs on steel and aluminum earlier this month.

Talk is cheap.
Substantive proof is required.

I get it. You hate America and want it to go down. So you hate tariffs because it protects the American worker, and is forcing China to open its markets. To our benefit.
How many Americans have gained jobs and how many have lost jobs because of Trumps tariffs?
I count thousands of added jobs and not one job lost.
Can you refute that? No you can't.

I don't know.
But if you can't you are making Trumps point. Thanks for playing.

I'm making my own point, China will never be an open economy whileever the communists rule, and Xi has made sure that will be a very long time

Awesome. Then we can hit them again. Just lock them totally out of our market would be fine with me. They are our enemy.

But while Trump talks about "delivering for" American farmers, the most significant economic policy to come out of the White House so far this year stands to hurt farmers—and businesses dependent on farming—more than many other sectors of the economy. Trump's 25 percent tariff on imported steel will increase the cost of farming equipment and cut into farmers' bottom lines, and the tariff might trigger a trade war that could cut off American exports to Europe and China.
"There's not a day on the farm when a farmer doesn't touch steel," Rep. David Young (R-Iowa) told Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin during a House Appropriations Committee hearing earlier this month. "The agriculture industry is worried about these tariffs on aluminum and steel."
Young joined the rest of Iowa's congresssional delegation in sending a letter to the White House earlier this month urging Trump to reconsider the tariff "given the consequences this will have on states like Iowa, rural communities throughout the nation, and on America's farms."

If they don't want to pay for steel made by Americans because they want slave labor to maake it. Then they can go farm in China. A farmer didn't write this bullshit. You get dumber every day.
You just pretend to be against the new world order.
