Trade wars, explained

Vox foreign affairs staff writer, Zeeshan Aleem (who appears in this video!) wrote about the widening gulf between the US and some of its largest trading partners. Read more: http://bit.ly/2LrFQuT

Vox please do a video about how countries nolonger want the dollar as the world reserve currency... Notably China. Because obviously the US benefits or holds great advantage over the world economy with this. And just asking... Is China wrong to want to trade in its own currency? They seem brilliant when you think about it.

Very poorly produced vox. You missed the whole point on this explained video. I want unbiased news. Please.

It's amazing how a few powerful people on the top can impact billions of ordinary people.

Money talks so loud if you asked me

Well, IT'S NOT in this case!

As a third-party Canadian to all this, who majored in econ... I think what's most troubling is the pretence under which the entire trade war began; there's a huge "trade deficit", and something needs to be done about it. When in reality, a trade deficit is more or less just a ledger somewhere that says you're buying more from a particular country than they buy from you. So if you happen to live in a country where there are super high rates of consumption, with a constant hungry demand for che...

Thats because McDonald's isn't buying from you to begin with However a real Trade War had Exports and Imports on both sides. And Trade deficit isn't just some ledger, that say "aw poop we buyin more from them" It means that we are buying at too high of a rate for goods that should be cheaper, because of all the Tariffs placed by the opposing country.

Redsoxking dont forget the excessive amount of ignorance the nation also owns

Van Hendrix yeah

I feel this "America First" policy when it comes to trade really damages America's soft power and already damaged credibility as a dependable partner after the Iraq WMD fiasco and the Iran deal. Imposing tariffs on US and NATO allies really hurts America on the diplomatic level.

pp rr He obviously doesn’t know what his doing ffs 😤

America’s economy is thriving. China is suffering at a level since the 2008 Great Depression. Take an L.

America First, America Worst

Super Smash Dolls You must be a deplorable?

I'm actually Interested in seeing how long US can survive without Chinese trades. Who knows ? maybe it can create Jobs

China is nothing to USA...Read history..

Yeah jobs where the workers have no rights and get paid like 1$ a week. Just like China.

Great video, but, please explain to me how changing country names to game of thrones names made any difference other than confusing it. On a topic which isn't even then confusing to begin with.

Hate the analogy of GoT in this video although the message was clearly explained later.

This one is a lot easier to understand https://www.okclips.net/video/P2OhfgeAWb4/video.html
