I’m average American consumer, and my wage has been stagnant for decades, it can’t even keep up with inflation. Please convince me why I should pay a Chinese EV (if allowed imports into U.S.) twice higher with 100% slapping US tariff than its original Chinese competitive consumer friendly price with superb quality EV?! Government high tariff is designed to protect the uncompetitive slacker US industries. Too bad American consumers can’t enjoy Chinese EV with extremely affordable price and superb quality that would kick Tesla to the curb. So our government raises tariff in order to ‘protect’ the lousy and expensive and government subsdidized poorly made American made cars? Why should Americans be loyal to sucker plutocrats? Shouldn’t we encourage fair and fierce competition so we Americans can compete in fair ground and truly become better competitors instead of being spoiled by our government bail out and subsidies. American protectionism not only it does not benefit American average middle to lower middle class consumers, it will make its industries LESS competitive in world markets, because they are expensive and lower quality. High tariff creates the biggest losers which is the average lower end consumers. If you believe Trump is doing work for average Americans, you are sold by his cheap lies.
You are correct on many accounts. I live in the UAE and I can say for sure the top Chinese EV brands ARE better than Teslas. Further, the tariffs not only make imports more expensive, US corporations are not going to undercut the prices of tariffed imports so in the end, the American consumers suffer.
no, porque china no permite que los productos estadounidenses entren a su mercado, es por eso que china es lo que es hoy dia, evitando la competencia extranjera en su mercado interno, pero compitiendo sus productos en los mercados externos, asi que si, trump tiene razon en aplicar un fuerte proteccionismo en estados unidos para mantener a estados unidos como una superpotencia, de lo contrario china se lo comera vivo.
Because China subsidizes BYD to an aggressive extent in ORDER TO UNDERCUT COMPETITION. China also subsidizes final products in order to keep more of the supply chain in their economy. But you all suggest we should just et them win and continue to sell out American jobs. During the Obama administration China proved to not follow our environmental/trade agreements while we did and then they took advantage of us following said treaty to grab up industry. You folks just don't understand prisoners dilemma here. Yeah obviously if everyone played fair we'd all be doing better, but if China isn't playing fair and we do nothing about it, what's the best choice for us?
A 200% tariff on all imports will make the cost of everything three times more expensive, including domestic products that rely on materials imported from around the world. Add to that the idea of rounding up 11 million immigrants, taking them out of the workforce and costing money to house and feed them while working to deport them. If you thought inflation was bad the past few years, wait until all these brilliant policies take effect...

Not exactly. The USA needs to have enemies so they can justify what they spend on the military. Imagine the unemployment if they decided to reduce military spending by half.

Tariffs are paid by American businesses when they pick up the goods from customs. In order to make the same profit on an item that is now more expensive due to tariffs, they pass that cost onto the end consumer by raising prices. Tariffs will undoubtedly make EVERYTHING MORE EXPENSIVE for Americans. The money the government is going to collect from tariffs is from American customers, NOT FROM CHINA!
@@turkwendell6904but US Trade deficit with china will increase which is a major problem of US economy Because of China did slapped during Trump's first' term
No, he didn't say that, you are making it up. He said tariffs would fill the coffers of the state, which USA badly needs. Of course, as long as they are NOT prohibitive. Sure, it's a tax on imports, the smart kind of tax.
A thing people don't seems to talk about is how this will squeeze America's allies. America's allies loses a customer and America is not making up the difference.
Super important point. The world has never been more wealthy as it has been under the current WTO regime. Moving away from it will reduce everyone's wealth while raising global tensions. A terrible trajectory to go on.
True! EU tried imposing tariffs on Chinese automakers, and EU automakers were the first ones to oppose the move because it would deny them access to the world's largest car market. Imposing tariffs on Chinese goods and automakers only works against American companies, which would be locked out of the Chinese market.
Exactly! Trump doesn’t care about having allies and I don’t think he knows the benefits. Countries are already using gold instead of dollars for their reserves so pushing away more allies isn’t great for the dollar

Chinese advancement in hi-tech is based on a whole of a nation effort to get more advanced in Science and Technology. To compete with this other countries have to do the same. That is the only way.

China also performs best in standardized tests like PISA, China does not have religious fundamentalism that alienates its children from scientific knowledge, it does not have a disorderly population who thinks having a semi-automatic firearm is a right and still has the largest workforce in the world.

More than half of EVs of Tesla are made in China. So Tesla is not only an amerian coporation,but also a Chinese corporation. How could China sanction its own company? on the contrary, Elon will be a bridge between Xi and Trump.
To replace the things we need from China will take over a decade of ramping up production capacity, to the tune of trillions in investment, before we can even TRY to replace those goods domestically. We will suffer for years because of this choice.

The "unintended side effect" of blocking Chinese access to certain technology is actually the "obvious consequence". The Chinese have already shown the world how resourceful they are. Firstly they can find techniques of getting advanced results from slightly less advanced technology. Then they'll catch up quickly. And while they're doing that they're also researching new ways of achieving results through photonic technology.

It appears the United States failed Economics 101. Tariffs make the economy as a whole less efficient. We are short on workers to deliver important services - from healthcare to the construction of homes in short supply. The last thing we need is to redeploy those workers onto assembly lines to make stuff more expensive! Sure, protect critical industries like micro chips and rare earths. However, it makes no sense to have expensive American workers making sneakers and kids toys. Still not convinced? Well, see how isolationism is working out for the UK....

not sound insensitive, but when you look at all these American tech companies and the amount of Asians that work there but somehow think they cannot make their own chips is deeply problematic and lacks self awareness.
About 10 years ago I worked for an Ivy league university and the Ph.D. science programs consisted of about 70% Asian students from China, India. Many of them didn't stay in the US but went home and built up their country economies. Or they worked for the US tech companies, learned and honed their skills and then went back to Asia with the knowledge. I know there's an Illinois university that must have 1/2 its students from China, and I'm sure it's the same with the other IVY schools. If not the US universities, the Asians will go to Canadian and English universities. These universities depend on foreign students.
It is like energy spreading / leaking through conduction, convection and radiation. You can not stop the rest of the world from catching up with technology through education. The key to developed nations maintaining the lead will be to remain leaders in research and development. That will get the developed countries a few more centuries.
I hope Trump can wake up to senseless tariffs. Instead, invite China to be a business partner, let China build high speed trains, infrastructures, and revamp all manufacturing facilities in the US. In return, get China to buy all agricultural products & expensive high tech components to balance the trades. Work together, not fight each other.
I can never understand the disregard for the global distribution and reutilization of human resources. As customers, we benefit from China and other countries that provide affordable, high-quality goods. On the other hand, people in those countries also benefit, as millions have been lifted out of poverty. What’s the benefit of making clothes, kitchen appliances, and toys in America when we end up paying higher prices for them? Instead, we should focus on developing advanced technology in the U.S. Politicians often use patriotism as a disguise for their own agendas. Indeed, these narrow-minded politicians are hindering the progress of humankind.
For military innovation China doesn't need latest chip technology. Russia has better and more weapons than all the western countries and uses older chip manufacturing processes. Also, Russia and China are allies, they help each other economically and militarily. All the tariffs will lead to higher prices in USA. Most Americans will suffer very much financially because of these measures. Will see what happens in 2 years 😊
Tell that to the farmers who lost their farms because of Chinese counter tariffs before trump had to start bailing out farms. yeah brilliant. You think that might have effected the price of groceries?
Your costs went up (have a look at washing machines and associated dryers) and your government has to subsidize your farmers to stop them going bankrupt. So sure ...
The Trump administration ended up having to subsidize the farmers to the tune of 23 billion and things like washing machine prices went considerably up. Just because you dont read does not mean its reality.
Not particularly limited to China but something that Trump said that made me laugh was about the world isn't buying American cars. Tesla ain't doing too bad globally, gm (opal / vauxhall) aren't exactly a decent brand, ford are really cutting back on their portfolio and most other american brands have limited availability outside of the US. Tech - aside from the overpriced Apple, what else is there now that doesn't have better options from other countries? Food - maybe if their standards were better, they might do better trade.
The only thing USA really have are the digital services such as Google, Microsoft and other big tech. Europe could have developped their own digital infrastructures and become truly sovereign like China and Russia, but they choose to stay USA's vassals.

Chinese businesses excel in fast alignment and action, an edge that's crucial for driving new tech and tackling complex challenges, while US companies often get slowed by political reasons and complacency.
Their progress is solely due to US capital and no other reason. Though they cleverly stole tech to prop up themselves without American investment in the future, China is not a dynamic economy and does not naturally innovate. Btw I’m not American I’m from a BRICS country and we don’t have high hopes for the Chinese economy

America needs to work together, but Marxism has been able to infiltrate and divide... CRT, DEI in both the workplace and schools. It has fostered a victim mentality. Hopefully, this will abate when U.S. policies focus on peace and prosperity, while getting control over unelected bureaucrats who act as if they are the 4th branch of government. As Trump said, success has a way of uniting people... we'll get education refocused on academics and meritocracy, and off of teaching oppressor-oppressed Marxist concepts that simply create suspicion and hate.
And that needs to change.
You the problem here
Even Trump hats and his Bible are from China. Obama also pointed it out in a rally. Trump, definitely, is a patriot. 😂
The Chinese can endure hardship far better than the Americans!
I’m average American consumer, and my wage has been stagnant for decades, it can’t even keep up with inflation. Please convince me why I should pay a Chinese EV (if allowed imports into U.S.) twice higher with 100% slapping US tariff than its original Chinese competitive consumer friendly price with superb quality EV?! Government high tariff is designed to protect the uncompetitive slacker US industries.
Too bad American consumers can’t enjoy Chinese EV with extremely affordable price and superb quality that would kick Tesla to the curb.
So our government raises tariff in order to ‘protect’ the lousy and expensive and government subsdidized poorly made American made cars? Why should Americans be loyal to sucker plutocrats? Shouldn’t we encourage fair and fierce competition so we Americans can compete in fair ground and truly become better competitors instead of being spoiled by our government bail out and subsidies.
American protectionism not only it does not benefit American average middle to lower middle class consumers, it will make its industries LESS competitive in world markets, because they are expensive and lower quality.
High tariff creates the biggest losers which is the average lower end consumers.
If you believe Trump is doing work for average Americans, you are sold by his cheap lies.
He is working for Musk and Tesla.
You are correct on many accounts. I live in the UAE and I can say for sure the top Chinese EV brands ARE better than Teslas. Further, the tariffs not only make imports more expensive, US corporations are not going to undercut the prices of tariffed imports so in the end, the American consumers suffer.
no, porque china no permite que los productos estadounidenses entren a su mercado, es por eso que china es lo que es hoy dia, evitando la competencia extranjera en su mercado interno, pero compitiendo sus productos en los mercados externos, asi que si, trump tiene razon en aplicar un fuerte proteccionismo en estados unidos para mantener a estados unidos como una superpotencia, de lo contrario china se lo comera vivo.
Because China subsidizes BYD to an aggressive extent in ORDER TO UNDERCUT COMPETITION. China also subsidizes final products in order to keep more of the supply chain in their economy. But you all suggest we should just et them win and continue to sell out American jobs. During the Obama administration China proved to not follow our environmental/trade agreements while we did and then they took advantage of us following said treaty to grab up industry. You folks just don't understand prisoners dilemma here. Yeah obviously if everyone played fair we'd all be doing better, but if China isn't playing fair and we do nothing about it, what's the best choice for us?
Do you really think your phone would cost as much as it does if their phones weren't banned and hobbled?
A 200% tariff on all imports will make the cost of everything three times more expensive, including domestic products that rely on materials imported from around the world. Add to that the idea of rounding up 11 million immigrants, taking them out of the workforce and costing money to house and feed them while working to deport them. If you thought inflation was bad the past few years, wait until all these brilliant policies take effect...

At this point in time I'd rather work with China than the USA and I'm Canadian. During Trump's last term he increased the tariffs on washers and driers so that the cost of foreign imported products would cost more money and US washer and driers would cost less. Only problem was the greed of American manufacturers who increased the price of their products to match those being imported. The only people who lost were American consumers, which is exactly what will happen with more Trump tariffs.

A thing people don't seems to talk about is how this will squeeze America's allies. America's allies loses a customer and America is not making up the difference.
Super important point. The world has never been more wealthy as it has been under the current WTO regime. Moving away from it will reduce everyone's wealth while raising global tensions. A terrible trajectory to go on.
True! EU tried imposing tariffs on Chinese automakers, and EU automakers were the first ones to oppose the move because it would deny them access to the world's largest car market. Imposing tariffs on Chinese goods and automakers only works against American companies, which would be locked out of the Chinese market.
Exactly! Trump doesn’t care about having allies and I don’t think he knows the benefits. Countries are already using gold instead of dollars for their reserves so pushing away more allies isn’t great for the dollar
This is going to bite the US in the back. If they also impose tariffs on the EU and keep badmouthing them re. NATO, etc., they will likely not comply when it comes to containing China. In other words, the US can't have its cake and eat it too.

Depending on what actually happens next year. and how many rabid MAGA gophers are in congress. There might be no economic and social recovery of the USA.
They did basically offer oligarchy, and the voters voted for it.
And the Chinese bot farms aren’t convincing us of anything, we are going to swing back our economy and China should be worried, they are working overtime to sway opinion on here
ya got that right!!! it makes it an "AUTOCRACY" HAT MEANS A SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED BY ONE PERSON WITH ABSOLUTE POWER!!! WELCOME TO THE US OF A!!!!!
As you sow, so you reap. The sin of USA is re-visiting upon them
All have sinned and fall short
I buy Chinese its 80% cheaper. the world is buying Chinese now Americans will pay 80% more for the same product
Trump: Nobody has what we have...?
I beg to differ.....

not sound insensitive, but when you look at all these American tech companies and the amount of Asians that work there but somehow think they cannot make their own chips is deeply problematic and lacks self awareness.
The first round of Trump's isolationism ceded a lot of global market to China. Expect to get weaker, poorer and less influential under Trump.
Bingo.
Thank you Bloomberg for not being a MAGA supporter🎉
it’s in the name ‘berg’ lol
About 10 years ago I worked for an Ivy league university and the Ph.D. science programs consisted of about 70% Asian students from China, India. Many of them didn't stay in the US but went home and built up their country economies. Or they worked for the US tech companies, learned and honed their skills and then went back to Asia with the knowledge. I know there's an Illinois university that must have 1/2 its students from China, and I'm sure it's the same with the other IVY schools.
If not the US universities, the Asians will go to Canadian and English universities. These universities depend on foreign students.
It is like energy spreading / leaking through conduction, convection and radiation. You can not stop the rest of the world from catching up with technology through education. The key to developed nations maintaining the lead will be to remain leaders in research and development. That will get the developed countries a few more centuries.
Yep! University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has a lot of Chinese students in its Engineering programs.
Why they are not Americans, because you do not study hard
I hope Trump can wake up to senseless tariffs. Instead, invite China to be a business partner, let China build high speed trains, infrastructures, and revamp all manufacturing facilities in the US. In return, get China to buy all agricultural products & expensive high tech components to balance the trades. Work together, not fight each other.
This is common sense.
China has 4x the population of the United States.
I can never understand the disregard for the global distribution and reutilization of human resources. As customers, we benefit from China and other countries that provide affordable, high-quality goods. On the other hand, people in those countries also benefit, as millions have been lifted out of poverty. What’s the benefit of making clothes, kitchen appliances, and toys in America when we end up paying higher prices for them? Instead, we should focus on developing advanced technology in the U.S. Politicians often use patriotism as a disguise for their own agendas. Indeed, these narrow-minded politicians are hindering the progress of humankind.
You are absolutely right.
You can possibly be this far into the Donald Trump anime and still think hes going to lose somehow.
When did China last start a war?
And we forget China took 20m casualties in WWII.

Imagine if China retaliates by putting 1000% tariff on export of the cheap goods to America that Americans need everyday.
For military innovation China doesn't need latest chip technology. Russia has better and more weapons than all the western countries and uses older chip manufacturing processes. Also, Russia and China are allies, they help each other economically and militarily. All the tariffs will lead to higher prices in USA. Most Americans will suffer very much financially because of these measures. Will see what happens in 2 years 😊
nonbody has 35trillion debt， that’s for sure

They said the same thing the first time he put tariffs on China and the news was wrong 😂
Tot US lost the first trade war? It resulted in job losses for them. Turns out China had positive gdp growth despite the damaging tariffs
Tell that to the farmers who lost their farms because of Chinese counter tariffs before trump had to start bailing out farms. yeah brilliant. You think that might have effected the price of groceries?
Your costs went up (have a look at washing machines and associated dryers) and your government has to subsidize your farmers to stop them going bankrupt.
So sure ...
The Trump administration ended up having to subsidize the farmers to the tune of 23 billion and things like washing machine prices went considerably up. Just because you dont read does not mean its reality.
Can’t believe we are going to be seeing headlines about this guy for another 4 years :/
china is opportunity(facts) , not a threat (illusion), American will continue loss year to year until one day, she realize and accept the actual fact.
Yes
Not particularly limited to China but something that Trump said that made me laugh was about the world isn't buying American cars. Tesla ain't doing too bad globally, gm (opal / vauxhall) aren't exactly a decent brand, ford are really cutting back on their portfolio and most other american brands have limited availability outside of the US.
Tech - aside from the overpriced Apple, what else is there now that doesn't have better options from other countries?
Food - maybe if their standards were better, they might do better trade.
BYD is earning higher revenue than Tesla already and increasingly closing the gap on number of vehicles sold.
American cars? Poor quality cars with big engines. Who wants those? Might prefer one over one of those indian Bajaj Qute😂😂
Weapons, for now.
@@Werkelijk this is true - american cars are built for american roads. European and Japanese cars are built for any roads.
The only thing USA really have are the digital services such as Google, Microsoft and other big tech. Europe could have developped their own digital infrastructures and become truly sovereign like China and Russia, but they choose to stay USA's vassals.
Tariff is not solution it will ultimately lead to inflation in usa and can cause retaliationary Tariff by china, and also prompt other countries to collaborate against usa as i 🤔
Long term economic revival demands that we reduce our import dependence, otherwise we will bankrupt ourselves as we import more than we export.
The American Empire is drawing to and end. Look at the Roman Empire, that's the same fate of the American Empire.
中國在戈壁沙漠推動大規模的可再生能源項目，如太陽能、風能和沙電池，這種可持續能源發展策略不僅能提供長期穩定性和能源安全，還能帶來經濟效益。這些投資與短期的股市刺激不同，不僅降低了對石油進口的依賴並減少碳排放，還支持環境保護並產生顯著的經濟回報。以下是這一策略的關鍵原因：
1. 能源安全：減少對石油進口的依賴
中國是世界上最大的石油進口國，每年在石油進口上花費約1.5萬億美元。這種對國際能源市場的依賴，使中國面臨價格波動和地緣政治風險。僅在2022年，中國在石油進口上的支出達到了約1.5萬億美元，對國家財政造成巨大壓力。在衝突或海上封鎖時，重要的石油供應可能被中斷，威脅國家穩定。通過轉向戈壁沙漠的國內可再生能源，尤其是太陽能和風能，中國可以顯著減少這種依賴並確保穩定的能源供應。
此外，沙電池技術利用加熱沙子來儲存多餘的能量，進一步增強了能源安全。美國國家可再生能源實驗室（NREL）的研究人員正在研究這一新的熱能儲存技術，該技術以廉價的二氧化矽沙作為介質。該項目（ENDURING）將來自風能或太陽能的多餘電力用來加熱二氧化矽沙，然後將這些加熱的沙子儲存在隔熱筒中，在需要時用於發電。單個沙電池可以儲存高達26,000兆瓦時的熱能，並且系統可根據需求調整規模。
NREL的高級工程師馬志文專注於長時熱能儲存、氫氣生產和太陽能燃料工藝，領導了基於顆粒的熱儲存系統的項目，並對儲能方面的計算建模和實驗研究做出了重大貢獻。
參與ENDURING項目的馬志文強調，使用二氧化矽沙進行熱儲存是邁向減碳的重要一步。沙子在儲熱和導熱方面具有優異的性能，是長時儲能的理想選擇。沙電池系統具備高度可靠、成本效益高且環保的特點，同時減少對煤和天然氣等化石燃料的依賴。
王興超博士是NREL的研究人員，同時任教於科羅拉多礦業學院，專注於熱傳導、熱力學以及傳統和可再生能源系統的研究，尤其在開發先進系統的能源轉換和儲存模型方面具備專業知識。
2. 成本效益：太陽能和風能相對於煤炭和石油
可再生能源比傳統化石燃料成本效益更高。2022年，中國的大型太陽能發電成本約為每兆瓦時20至30美元，相比之下，煤電約為每兆瓦時60至70美元。在風資源豐富的戈壁沙漠，風能的成本也已低於基於石油的發電。
目前，中國每年在煤炭和石油進口上花費約2,000億美元，這增加了對化石燃料的依賴並使經濟面臨更大的風險。轉向可再生能源將有助於減輕這一經濟負擔，尤其是在不穩定的全球能源市場中。
3. 寧夏的戰略地理位置：可再生能源和人工智能中心
寧夏地處戈壁沙漠附近，具有成為可再生能源和人工智能戰略中心的潛力。該地區臨近豐富的太陽能和風能資源，並擁有良好的高速鐵路連接，是管理和分配可再生能源的理想地點。該地區的工業基礎也支持能源生產和基於AI的能源管理系統。
4. 經濟增長、就業創造和GDP影響
在戈壁沙漠投資可再生能源將創造1000到1200萬個就業機會，特別是在建設、運營和維護方面，這些工作將提供城市和農村的高薪機會。
就業創造：未來十年中，5萬億美元的投資將創造約2000萬個直接和間接的就業機會，涵蓋建設、運營、維護和研究，這些工作包括可再生能源系統、沙電池技術的安裝、電動車製造以及相關的交通、基礎設施和供應鏈產業。
GDP增長：每年1萬億美元的可再生能源基礎設施投資將顯著促進中國GDP增長。在五年內，這筆投資可使GDP增長約5萬億美元，這主要由可再生能源行業的產出驅動。
5. 環境可持續性：減少碳排放和沙塵暴
在戈壁沙漠的大規模可再生能源開發將大幅減少中國的碳排放，幫助實現2060年的碳中和目標。此外，風力發電機可以作為屏障，減少北方地區沙塵暴的頻率和強度，這些沙塵暴目前造成巨大的損害和健康成本。通過減少這些沙塵暴，中國每年可節省數十億美元的損害和醫療費用。
6. 電動車：驅動清潔能源需求
隨著電動車市場的增長，電力需求將大幅增長。電動車比燃油車環保且成本效益高，依賴於清潔能源而非化石燃料。通過對可再生能源基礎設施的大規模投資，中國可以滿足這一增長的需求並減少對石油的依賴，進一步支持碳減排目標。
7. 沙電池：一種更安全、更可靠且具成本效益的能源儲存方案
沙電池利用熱量儲存能量，然後轉化為電力或用於加熱。典型的5,000噸沙電池可儲存約210萬兆焦耳的能量，適合戈壁沙漠等擁有豐富沙資源的地區進行長期儲存。
與熔鹽電池的比較：
• 安全性：沙電池比傳統的鋰或熔鹽電池更安全，因為沙子是不可燃的並且化學穩定。鋰電池在過熱時可能著火，而沙電池即使在高溫下也保持穩定，降低了風險。
• 可靠性：沙電池耐用，可反覆使用而不會退化，確保了長期可靠性。相比之下，熔鹽電池易受腐蝕，增加了維護成本。
• 成本效益：沙子是一種豐富且便宜的資源，使得沙電池在構建和維護上比鋰離子或熔鹽電池更具成本效益，適合大規模能源儲存。
8. 國家安全：電動車和應急系統
可再生能源供電的電動軍用車輛和應急系統將提供戰略優勢。在石油短缺或海上封鎖的情況下，電動車輛確保軍事和應急行動的連續性，增強中國的國家安全。
9. 空氣制水系統：農業的可再生能源應用
可再生能源還可為大氣水生成器（AWG）提供動力，該技術通過風能或太陽能從空氣中凝結水分。這些潔淨水可以用於戈壁沙漠等乾旱地區的灌溉，將荒地轉化為肥

They’re going to tank public education in America. More unwanted, poor children going to underfunded schools to learn nothing of value while dirt poor red states collect even more federal aid so they can party with Brett Favre.
Chinese businesses excel in fast alignment and action, an edge that's crucial for driving new tech and tackling complex challenges, while US companies often get slowed by political reasons and complacency.
China is wrongly accused but their progress talks
Their progress is solely due to US capital and no other reason. Though they cleverly stole tech to prop up themselves without American investment in the future, China is not a dynamic economy and does not naturally innovate. Btw I’m not American I’m from a BRICS country and we don’t have high hopes for the Chinese economy
The American dream, can't see that happening any time soon.

I design and produce paper planners. Ask any one in this industry, no U.S. printing company can print planners like the ones from overseas mainly China. U.S. printers don’t print tabs (generally), are lower quality and higher prices than U.S. manufacturers. So much so you can barely make a profit if you print your planner in the U.S. if the Government/Trump wants this industry to stop using Chinese manufacturing for our paper products they need to step up their printing manufacturing systems here in the U.S.!!!!!!
