EU JAPAN TRADE DEAL SOFT POWER COUNTERPOSING UK CHINA INITIATIVES

One can see the so called sides forming, but Japan sources in China too, lying in the weeds since the beginning of the Cold War, so it is all a China sluice.....in the end....

Japan suddenly emerges, after almost 200 years, as a free trade champion.

Wonder why?

I will explain it in a sentence for you: Japan keeps TPP, and anything else it has been doing. 

It also quietly keeps the vast China trade it has always engaged in, even when a Cold War US alliance had prohibited it, baby. 

1) Services as well as Sancerre and Suzukis

2) Japan's emergence as a free trade champion

Terms search: playing three sides.

3) The UK may only be in it for 59 days

4) The climate component (bullshit)

5) Where does it leave the US and China? (US, UK, EU still fucked, China and Japan, fine.)

As Japan, Europe and Pacific-bordering nations dismantle tariffs, the world's two biggest economies are busy putting them up.

The US has slapped tariffs on $250bn of imports from China and is threatening to increase most of them from 10% to 25%, while China has put tariffs on $110bn of imports from the US.
