    [QUOTE=copyman;754003]Sorry you feel that way. I meant no disrespect to Chinese...…….. They are hard working good people. Their leaders on the other hand are rotten bastards trying to take over the USA!

    Chinese leaders = ChiComs (not racist, because their ethnicity is Chinese, and their governing body is communist). Just a slang term!

    I never heard of the term.

    Slang : Disparaging .. a contemptuous term used to refer to a Communist Chinese.

    To escalate trade tariffs on that day automatically made trade talks more inflammatory akin to China raising tariffs against the USA on Independence Day July 4th.

    It'''s time for markets to end their illusions about US-China trade deal

    The trade talks have become just one of many events of a new era of geopolitical and systemic competition that will define our times.

    What appears to be most unacceptable to the trade talks is the US demand that China must change its national laws to abide by the deal's terms.

    What do you think would happen if China demanded that the USA change its national laws to abide by the deal's terms?

    For a leader like Chinese President Xi - who has staked his reputation on ending what his supporters see as China's "century of humiliation" at the hand of foreign powers, the on again and off again trade talks have become about so much more than trade.

    China will continue to engage the USA in trade talks but not much is likely to happen until after the next USA Presidential election when China expects a more agreeable President will be elected.

    It is estimated that if the trade war escalates the average US consumer will pay in excess of $800.00 in tariff taxes per year to the US gov't.
    Correction:

    It is estimated that if the trade war escalates the average US family of four will pay in excess of $767.00 in tariff taxes per year to the US gov't.

    Plus an estimated 934,000 US jobs are put at risk.

    "President Donald Trump’s trade war with China is not the only conflict with a major trading partner raging ahead of his reelection bid.
    Trump, who campaigned in 2016 on cracking down on what he calls unfair trade practices, has stirred trade conflict on even more fronts. From Canada and Mexico to the European Union and Japan, the president faces pivotal moments in his crusade to reshape U.S. trade relationships ahead of the 2020 election".

    Trump carries out tariff trade wars with China, EU, Canada and Mexico

    In simple terms. It means hang on to the old machine longer, get a tech/mechanic to repair it. Equals more local jobs,not money going over seas for throw away cheap items, which makes redundant Techs/Mechanics. Source parts local, again means more local jobs.Win win for the smaller guys and a thriving local ecconomy. ..IMHO.....Sent via phone...

    Fix it with WHAT? Parts From CHINA! 25% increase to parts and equipment to YOUR BOSS means NO Raise, NO Bonus, Layoff's and will look for any reason to cut personal.

    Another side affect as most car parts come from CHINA, look for Auto Insurance to rates to increase as well.
    As well as repairing or buying any appliances or home A/C unit.

    In simple terms YOU PAY MORE!

    I do agree that if the price of new copiers and printers significantly increase, customers will elect to either extend their current equipment leases or consider purchasing used equipment.

    Both options are not great for new equipment sales in the USA.

    If the cost of parts and supplies increase, as soon as current service contracts expire, cost per copy contracts will increase.

    Business owners are likely to be facing increased operational costs from all aspects of their business which they in turn will be forced to pass onto their customers.

    You opinion is limited to your grasp on the bigger economic picture.
    Thinks will stabilize after some time. We adapt that is what we do.

    More than 300 years before President Donald Trump declared his intention to protect American steel and slap severe levies on China, American colonists were grappling with their own serious concerns regarding trade policy—specifically that of Great Britain, the motherland. The Townshend Acts of the mid-1760s, which charged Americans substantial import duties for a range of goods the colonists desperately craved (glass, lead, paper, tea), were wildly unpopular, and brought about tensions that came to a head with the 1770 “Boston massacre” (drummed up in American news outlets to light a fire under citizens) and the Sons of Liberty’s notorious “tea party” in 1773.
