The Trump administration told Mexican officials that they should put their own duties on Chinese imports as part of their efforts to avoid tariffs threatened by President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.

My goodness gracious, Australia surviving as an independent nation, tell that one to the nato members. Before getting into be with the Chinese remember Tiananmen square. I am just outstanded at the people who go US bad , lets go Chinese. Yeah, throw away all your hard fought freedoms in a fit of pique. Once your rights have gone they are never returning.

Yes, we have seen how the Libs here have reduced workers’ rights and peoples’ civil rights generally.

You think China is the only Nation that has an issue with Civil Rights in their society. Over my journey I have seen Students shot dead by Police on the streets of Bangkok and protesters in Pakistans capital city fired on by Army and Tanks. Many died.

The USA has an ongoing battle with freedom and civil rights, and if you ever visit Atlanta, I suggest a few hours at this place. It is a frightening experience.

No i don’t think that, my point is that you don’t go to somebody worse because you have issues with what we have. The USA has a huge amount of problems no question. What i value most is democracy and our freedoms, a the USA with all it’s issues is still our best allie in that respect.

Generally that would be true…but it is no longer the case with this current administration.

Plenty of other countries have managed to survive as independent nations.

Have you noticed that some NATO members are currently considering kicking the Septics out of NATO ?

Who’s talking about “getting into be with the Chinese” ? I’m looking for an independent, neutral Australia.

Anyway, before getting into bed with the Septics perhaps we should have looked at Guantanamo, all those Central American, Middle Eastern and South East Asian countries where they fostered and maintained murdering fascist regimes. And while we’re talking about the murdering, fascist regimes they support have a look at the current murdering fascist Zionist regime in Palestine.

USA, the home of the free and the brave. Democracy hardly exists, there is actually more in China, where at least the Party Members get to vote on who is in charge, to a point.

There are many better examples of democracy than USA. Even Cuba which may be the least democratic place in the world has fairer elections than USA.

I tell you what, I’d love to see the Europeans chummying up with the Chinese, Trump would literally shitt his pants. Us and Canada should do the same.
The yanks are relying on us and the Europeans to always to take their side over the Chinese, so is it time to throw it back in their face and say that you can’t always rely on our support if you treat us so poorly?

Now you are in bed with terrorists, i just at a loss.

I agree the current situation is bad, I am still confident (though getting more troubled each day) that their democracy will hold and Orange is just a temporary blip

Psrty members voting is not a democracy.
