China auto sales post biggest drop in 7 years as growth engine stalls
BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s car sales fell the most in nearly seven years in September, stoking concerns the world’s biggest auto market could contract for the first time in decades this year amid cooling economic growth and a biting trade war.

You want to know what is REALLY going to be popcorn worthy?


China is going to meddle in the next election on an unprecedented scale... they are going to put the Russians to shame

Watch who gets mad, and watch who minimizes it

Here’s a fun game I like to play -

It’s called, “Spot the China-subsidized commenters in the comments section”

They are much more sophisticated than semiliterate Russians in an internet cafe....

So what logic pinging around in your head has China interfering in favor of Trump, Jon?

I’m curious - in an anthropological kind of way

Here’s a primer for you... China won’t be interfering in favor of Donald Trump

China isn't about Trump so much as long it still has it't influence in other areas (McConnell/Chao) - but note that China had given quite a bit of favorable treatment to Trump and his mistress Ivanka when it comes to trademarks.

That’s all fine and good and deflect-y

But that isn’t a hypothesis for why China would want another 4 years of Donald Trump

What's the over under that Moscow Mitch rushes a bill through to stop China meddling with elections

:rofl:

Doubtful

Here’s an inconvenient truth nobody talks about:

Russia interferes in our politics and have been doing so since the October Revolution

They are clumsy at it and the only people they appeal to are the dimmest bulbs we have (whose minds aren’t changing)

China is MUCH more sophisticated and they have about 500,000 boots on the ground within the US... articulate, fiercely patriotic, and ready to serve

But they will also only appeal to the dimmest bulbs .... and won’t change any minds either

Stock market takes a steep dive today because China devalues it's currency to combat the US tariffs.

The problem here is that their currency involves trade with all countries, not just US. We could see a worldwide backlash against China.

People around the world are more fond of China than they are of Trump so that might be wishful thinking

But it certainly put the exclamation point on routine unfair trade practices that China uses - like currency manipulation

Another gift to American oligarchs. They'll use this to foreclose on small farms, buy land at dirt-cheap prices, use it for factory farming, or just sit on the land to drive up value.

The divide keeps getting larger, but at some point you run out of sympathy for those who keep supporting conservative voodoo economics. Dumb and confident is a very dangerous combination.
