I've read this four times now and I can't comprehend what they're talking about.

So is this going to lower or raise the price? Because it sounds like they're advocating torwards being against low prices? I don't understand

Now that I've read it a second time, it sounds like they're trying to keep the price low and it backfired because now it sounds like they've lost market share which is causing the price to recoil downward again?

Ontario had the right idea imo, embargo US goods and then push through the struggles. Sadly it seems they were the only one willing to play hard ball. Everyone else folded like a deck of cards.

I mean that does seem to make it pretty simple. However, the US imports roughly 460B annually from china, whereas china imports about 165B annually from the US. and China while doesn't import as much as the US does, it also has vastly diversified it's imports so while it might hurt losing the US if an embargo did occur, it would harm the US way more. About 14-15% of all imports the US does is from China, the US is only about 7% of China's overall imports.

I'm not even convinced that it was a Chinese restaurant. I feel like he was talking to Vance or Musk and thought it was the Chinese Government.
