Después de que USA jugara al proteccionismo con su plan de "estímulo", y tuviera rifi-rafes con Canada, Obama repitió y decidió imponer aranceles en los neumáticos chinos. China no ha tardado en responder.

Todos los economistas coinciden que la guerra de aranceles ayudó a hundir más la economía durante la Gran Depresión. Podríamos estarlo repitiendo.

China to Probe Alleged ?Dumping? of U.S. Products (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

China to Probe Alleged ‘Dumping’ of U.S. Products

Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- China announced a probe into the alleged dumping of American auto and chicken products, two days after U.S. President Barack Obama imposed tariffs on imports of tires from the Asian nation.

Chinese industries have complained that they’re being hurt by “unfair trade practices,” the nation’s Ministry of Commerce said on its Web site yesterday. The Beijing-based ministry is also looking into subsidies for the products, it said. It didn’t specify the imports’ value.

The European Central Bank said last week that rising protectionism may hamper world trade and undermine the global economy’s recovery from recession. The U.S. placed tariffs starting at 35 percent on $1.8 billion of tire imports from China, backing a United Steelworkers union complaint against the second-largest U.S. trading partner.

“While there’s friction, I suspect that the two nations will keep any disputes under control,” said David Cohen, an economist at Action Economics in Singapore. “They understand that they’re increasingly dependent as trading partners.”

Dumping is selling goods for less than the cost of producing them.

China’s commerce ministry said Sept. 12 that it “strongly opposes” the U.S. decision on tires and may refer the case to the World Trade Organization.

‘Retaliatory Spiral’

“A sluggish global recovery and rising unemployment may increasingly tempt governments to adopt restrictive trade policy measures, which could lead to a retaliatory spiral of ever harsher trade restrictions and tensions,” the Frankfurt-based ECB said in its monthly bulletin. A resurgence of trade protectionism would “significantly impair the global recovery process” and reduce growth potential in the long run, it said.

Yesterday’s three-paragraph statement from the Chinese commerce ministry didn’t refer to the tire dispute.

“China has always steadfastly opposed trade protectionism,” the ministry said, adding that the nation was “willing to continue acting in concert with other nations to promote a global economic recovery as soon as possible.”

The dumping and subsidy probes involve “some” auto and chicken imports from the U.S., it said, without specifying which ones.

The U.S. decision in the tire case was a blow to Chinese producers such as GITI Tire Pte Ltd., the largest Chinese tire maker, and U.S. retailers of low-cost imports.

‘Unprecedented Action’

“By taking this unprecedented action, the Obama administration is now at odds with its own public statements about refraining from increasing tariffs,” Vic DeIorio, executive vice president of GITI Tire in the U.S., said in a statement. “This decision will cost many more American jobs than it will create.”

The U.S. duties likely won’t spark a trade war, according to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

“For trade to work for everybody it has to be based on fairness and rules,” Gibbs said. “We’re simply enforcing those rules and would expect the Chinese to understand those rules.”

Pork, soybean and other farm goods exporters urged Obama Sept. 3 to refrain from imposing tariffs or quotas on imports of tires from China because of the fear of retaliation against U.S. food and agriculture products.

The U.S. consulted with Chinese officials before imposing tariffs to try to work out a solution, a U.S. trade official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The U.S. hasn’t been notified of the new dumping cases, the official said.

If China is considering the dumping cases in retaliation for the U.S. tires decision, the U.S. could challenge that action at the WTO, the official said. The U.S. prefers holding talks to address the underlying causes of the problem in China, such as subsidies, the official said.

BEIJING – China's biggest military parade in a decade will show off an army bristling with formidable new capabilities and deliver a potent message to the U.S. and others not to underestimate Beijing's determination to defend its interests at home and abroad.

The military display is expected to be the centerpiece of a grandiose parade through Beijing on Oct. 1 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic. A preview rumbled through the Chinese capital a week ago, giving an excited citizenry and foreign military analysts a first-time glimpse at some cutting-edge weaponry.

Upgraded intercontinental DF-31 nuclear missiles capable of striking Washington rolled on long-bed trucks along with advanced short-range DF-11 and DF-15 missiles, sea-skimming YJ-83 anti-ship missiles and DH-10 long-range cruise missiles — intended to strike targets in rival Taiwan and deter the U.S. Navy from coming to the island's defense. Not seen in the preview but expected to appear in a fly-over above Tiananmen Square are domestically produced J-10 jet fighters.

The advanced equipment is the fruit of a 20-year military buildup fueled by annual double-digit percentage increases in defense spending and buoyed by rapid economic growth that has enabled the government to spend lavishly.

The Communist leadership's willingness to put so much equipment on public display reflects its growing faith in the People's Liberation Army's capabilities and its belief that the defense muscle will translate into new strength for Beijing internationally.

"The exercise is aimed at not only showing the Chinese people some of the symbols of China's new great power status, but also showing foreigners that policies based on the presumption of Chinese weakness must be changed," said Denny Roy, an expert on the Chinese military at Hawaii's East-West Center.

Chief among Beijing's targets is U.S. support for Taiwan, the self-governing island that China considers its own territory, and the American military's continued naval and airborne surveillance missions off the Chinese coast, Roy said. Japan, Vietnam and other nations with territorial disputes with Beijing in the South China and East China Seas are also likely audiences for the display of Chinese military might.

Officially, Beijing says the parade is nothing more than a move to boost patriotism and showcase the PLA's modernization drive — an explanation that fits with the oft-repeated government line that the Chinese military buildup poses no threat to others. Chinese defense spending officially reached $71 billion this year, though analysts believe the actual figure is much higher. The spending is second to the U.S. but a fraction of American defense spending.

The parade will "demonstrate the positive image of China as a country seeking peaceful development," Senior Col. Guo Zhigang, a deputy commander of the event's training camp, was quoted as saying by the official China Daily newspaper.

Sólo hay que ver hacia dónde se inclina el déficit en la balanza comercial para ver quién tiene las de perder aquí como China se ponga muy bravucona. Le guste o no va a tener que tragar. De todos modos en este caso concreto me parece un pifiada, puesto que esos neumáticos aunque vengan de China los producen en su inmensa mayoría empreses americanas. Por cierto que pronto veremos aquí una caida de los precios de los neumáticos procedentes de China personalmente creo que ese país no debería haber sido admitido en la WTO, son unos mafiosos, pidiendo transferencias de tecnología, capital autóctono, saltándose a la torera toda la propiedad intelectual, haciendo dumping, subvencionando las exportaciones... y lo más grave de todo, manipulando exageradamente los tipos de cambio. Si les dejamos que sigan así acabaremos sin industria, y cuando no tengamos ya industria y nos suban los precios de lo que nos estan vendiendo, ya será demasiado tarde para rehacerla. Nuestros líderes son simplemente unos cobardes por no admitir esta situación y hacer algo para remediarlo.

Ah los chinos, nos comen los chinos!!!:
