I was invited to share my views about the EU’s China tariffs on the China in Context podcast, produced by the SOAS China Institute, with the guest host Duncan Wrigley, Chief China Plus Economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
Such a trade war is pointless, Europe stands more to lose here than China. This is just Vanderlyon feeling sore about being put on a plane and the US dictating policy once again. They hate China, and don't want countries like France, Germany, Italy, Spain and such pursuing their own policy even as they force 'migrants' upon them in an attempt to erase them from the earth.
It does seem that Washington is headed down the road of countless empires before it. If things continue as they are, it is likely that Europe will tear itself free and likely discard the EU and then the tarriff policies that are damaging their individual economies. We'll at that time start seeing the nations of Europe compete for trade with China, Canada and also start dominating Africa and helping Africa out more. This will help Europe's economies and increase trade and wealth in the Western Hemisphere.
In turn Canada, hopefully will increasee trade at that time with Europe & Asia.
