Did Trump Start a War with China?

Trump has stated "there is a lop sided trade with countries in the south." Trump is calling them cheap and no satisfied with things. China on Tuesday stated a strong disbelief. Now, the whole world is worried that the two biggest countries that trade are at a "trading war." Many people are stating that this is a mistake and that this shouldn't be what it is right now. As the week end Trump is trying to decide weather to take actions against the "trade war." Many people are stating that China would lose more and that the U.S. would lose nothing. This however is false. If this happens to start countries will lose many things and won't get as many things from over seas as we have before.

Questions:

If this happens, what is your opinion on this? 

What do you think would happen if this did indeed happen?

Answers:

If it did happen I would probably be a little mad because we get a lot of things from over seas.

If this did happen I think we would lose a lot of things that we get from China. People over seas make a lot of our clothing so we might see a shortage in that.

  • Well done! -5 late

  • I think its bad that we might go to war with them because we own them a lot of money and we basically buy all of products from because America still doesnt know how to make their own products

    • Yes I do agree with you and how we do get a lot of products? What is your opinion on this?? I do agree with you how we do get many things from them but how would you fell if this happened?

      • I would think its a bad idea because if they get involed they might ask North Korea to help out in the war. If does happen we could use deadly weapon just to win the war.

  • We also owe them a lot of money and starting a war wouldn't be the best idea.

    • Yes I do agree with you. We do get a lot of things for them and to go to war with them for no reason would be  dumb and stupid idea. 

  • It would be a really bad idea because of the fact that a lot of our products are from China

  • I think it is a big mistake because they trade with each other, and then trade with other countries. This can cause problems in other countries to. Not just ours. I think we would fall as a country without some products that a lot of people need or use everyday.

    • Yes I do too. This is a very bad idea to go to war witha country that we get so much from. If we were to go to war with them we would probably lose a lot of things that we get form them now. 

  • I believe that if this happened, where have we stooped to? We are supposed to be the champions of free trade, not the protectionists of the past. I hope pressure from our European allies would halt this. I think it would begin the isolation of the United States at the world stage.
