市井小民與世界貿易大戰

贸易大戰不僅影響國家經濟戰略，更直接衝擊市井小民之生活, 體現在就業物價和消費能力上。

川普總統於週三宣佈對全世界徵收對等關稅之後, 連續兩天美股劇跌。中國大陸今天亦宣佈對美國徵收百分之三十四之對等關稅，這兩個全世界最大之經濟體正式宣戰，對於未來之影響將是不可預期之重大發展。

由于川普在週三宣稱之美國解放日大行動，所有美國之物價立即上漲，其中包括建材，新聞紙張至少在百分之二十以上，尤其對於那些從事進口貿易之小商家，如何承受来自中國大陸百分之五十四關稅，這些市井小民只有關店歇業。

川普總統說要美國再次偉大把所有製造業搬回美國，這簡直是不可能之任務.，即便要立即建厰也得假以時日。

我們這些市井小民是待宰羔羊,而那些億萬富翁和名嘴之可惡，能體會到民間疾苦嗎？

 Ordinary People And The Trade War

The trade war not only affects the national economy, but also directly affects the lives of the ordinary people, which is reflected in the growing unemployment numbers, increases in prices across the board and a lower capacity of consumption.

After President Trump announced the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on the whole world, U.S. markets plummeted for two consecutive days, and China meanwhile also announced the imposition of a reciprocal tariff of 34% on all U.S. goods at the same time. The world's largest economies by their actions, officially declared the beginning of the trade war, which now will have an unpredictable impact on the future of the world.

Due to Trump’s claim of the U.S. 'Liberation Day' tariffs, all prices of goods rose immediately, including the building materials and newsprint for our company that increased by 20% overnight. For those people in the import and export business, how can they afford a 54% tariff increase from China?

We are watching the TV anchors and billionaires play out their roles in Washington, but how can they really know the hardships of the ordinary people?
