What taxes from China? The EU presents a tariff wall to all EU states to create a protectionist market.

The China problem is our own blasted fault. It’s too expensive to make them here thanks to endless regulation and hideous energy costs, so we out source it. As a result we’re at the mercy of China which is ‘experimenting’ with market capitalism. It also has draconian covid restrictions – those are the reasons for manufacturing delays.

International shipping during covid increased about a hundred fold as docks closed, ship workers stopped, maintenance stopped, fuel didn’t get around and so on.

The moral of this story? Cut taxes, generate cheap energy, bin the endless regulation, taxes and profit scamming by big fat government and make things here, in this country.

Apologies – I ddin’t mean this to be a political rant, but the summary is the same. Pretending it’s rational to rely on dubious natured foreign powers for our resources increasingly doesn’t make sense.
