Turned out nice again. Trump took office in early 2017, tariffs on China in 2018. For somebody who everyone calls thick, he's doing a surprisingly good job with the economy despite what the papers write.

China has rejected US espionage claims against a Chinese national arrested in Belgium and extradited to America as mere fabrications plucked “out of thin air,” adding further pressure between Beijing and Washington.
The US Department of Justice charged Xu Yanjun on Wednesday for conspiring and attempting to steal trade secrets from major US aviation and aerospace companies, including GE Aviation, a top jet engine supplier for US military aircraft.
Mr Xu, a director for China’s intelligence and security agency, appears to have been lured to Belgium as part of a dramatic global sting operation, according to the 16-page indictment. Mr Xu, who thought he would attend a meeting to receive proprietary information about jet fan blade designs, was instead arrested under a US warrant on April 1 and extradited this week to face charges in America.
“US aerospace companies invest decades of time and billions of dollars in research,” said Bill Glassman, an attorney for the US justice department. “In contrast, according to the indictment, a Chinese intelligence officer tried to acquire that same, hard-earned innovation through theft.”
Tensions between the US and China have heightened significantly amidst a trade war. The Trump administration has also accused China of implementing a military, economic and political campaign to undermine Washington and bolster Chinese influence – claims that China continues to deny as “unwarranted” and “ridiculous.”
Mr Xu’s case – the first time the US has extradited a suspected Chinese spy – indicates the US is unlikely to back down on China anytime soon. For years, the US has indicted in absentia alleged Chinese spies amid growing allegations and evidence that Beijing has been using espionage and hacking to modernise its country.
“This unprecedented extradition of a Chinese intelligence officer exposes the Chinese government’s direct oversight of economic espionage against the United States,” said Bill Priestap, an assistant director with the FBI.
There is “zero” chance Beijing will ever allow extradition of its citizens from its own soil, said Scott Harold, Asia Pacific policy director at nonprofit think tank RAND Corp.
The US and China do not have an extradition treaty, and Chinese authorities generally always deny allegations of spying and hacking as it did again on Thursday.
US officials insist such activity, however, is rampant and damaging to American security interests. Mr Xu, for instance, invited US engineers and experts at key companies on all expenses paid trips to present talks in China, asking them to meet local scientists and to bring specific documents with them.
Such technical experts are often targets for Chinese hacking and spying given their proximity to proprietary information, and Mr Xu’s activities should not come as a surprise. “In a world where everything is connected … you can be hacked; it can be stolen,” said Mr Harold.
“This case is not an isolated incident. It is part of an overall economic policy of developing China at American expense,” said John Demers, a US justice department assistant attorney general. “We cannot tolerate a nation’s stealing our firepower and the fruits of our brainpower.”
Another Chinese national was arrested last month for allegedly providing information about American defence contractor employees in efforts to recruit them as informants.

I'm quite confident that the real reason Star Waars failed was because edward teller was BSing a lot. The other stuff was coincidental.
By collecting individual data they get to know the political opinions of the masses and can use that to sew discord.
Star Wars, especially the selected Brilliants Pebbles approach could definitely work.
India to raise import tariffs on electronic and communication items

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (Reuters) - India said on Thursday it will raise import tariffs on several electronic items and communication devices, in another move to rein in imports and bolster a falling rupee.
The tariff hike, the second such move by India in a two week span, was announced late on Thursday by New Delhi as it attempts to raise import barriers to curtail the import of goods it deems as "non-essential" items.
The latest set of increased tariffs could ratchet up trade tensions with the United States and China, among other countries and hurt the likes of network equipment makers such as Cisco Systems Inc, Huawei Technologies Co, ZTE Corp, Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung Electronics.
The gambit is part of a plan to contain a slide in the rupee, which has weakened more than 14 percent against the U.S. dollar this year, hit by an rout in emerging markets and other domestic factors such as a widening current account deficit.
It was not immediately clear how much of a tariff increase is being levied on each specific item, but the Indian government listed several items that could be impacted including wearables like smart watches, Voice over Internet Protocol equipment and phones, and ethernet switches, among other items.
The plan, which becomes effective on Friday, will potentially also hurt Indian telecoms carriers such as Reliance Jio Infocomm, Bharti Airtel and Idea, said Neil Shah of tech research firm Counterpoint.
"This will slow down the roll out of high-speed broadband which uses optical fibre and LTE networks," Shah told Reuters, adding however that it could help local telecom equipment makers like Tata Teleservices that manufacture some of this equipment locally.
The move is the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's latest tilt toward protectionism, as it promotes its 'Make in India' programme.
India announced higher import tax on electronics products such as mobile phones and television sets in December, and then on 40 more items in the budget in February. These included goods as varied as sunglasses, juices and auto components.
Last month, it raised import tariffs on 19 "non-essential items," including air conditioners, refrigerators, footwear, speakers, luggage and aviation turbine fuel, among other items.

You would be surprised. Winning an election is all about harvesting the seeds of discontent correctly.
In this matter, @BMD is not far from being right.
Behavior, sentimental and political opinion analytics can be utilised in array of thing, including creating a social discord.
People are very nasty when they are private.
Please scroll up to see where the point of divergence began. And if it's your contention that Chinese devices are tweaked to analyse its patrons preferences and prejudices owing to the OS & various apps, can't such a charge be levelled at Google and sundry apps from playstore & thru them to the various wings of the US government ?
To recapitulate, the article of mine which @BMD quoted was specifically about the Chinese govt inserting microprocessor the size of the tip of a lead pencil into servers meant for big business of the US - a virtual Trojan horse.
Our inhouse Irish genius extrapolated this fact to his not buying Chinese devices citing privacy concerns as if the Chinese govt would be interested in him. Big difference!!

Note - none of these companies even contemplate moving to India. It's either SE Asia or / & Mexico.

Could you tell why these companies aren't interested in shifting production lines to India??
