市井小民与世界贸易大战

贸易大战不仅影响国家经济战略，更直接冲击市井小民之生活, 体现在就业物价和消费能力上。

川普总统於週三宣佈对全世界徵收对等关税之后, 连续两天美股剧跌。中国大陆今天亦宣佈对美国徵收百分之三十四之对等关税，这两个全世界最大之经济体正式宣战，对於未来之影响将是不可预期之重大发展。

由于川普在週三宣称之美国解放日大行动，所有美国之物价立即上涨，其中包括建材，新闻纸张至少在百分之二十以上，尤其对於那些从事进口贸易之小商家，如何承受来自中国大陆百分之五十四关税，这些市井小民只有关店歇业。

川普总统说要美国再次伟大把所有製造业搬回美国，这简直是不可能之任务.，即便要立即建厰也得假以时日。

我们这些市井小民是待宰羔羊,而那些亿万富翁和名嘴之可恶，能体会到民间疾苦吗？

 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?
