WHY CHINA IS THE HEGEMON IN WORLD TRADE, BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE REASON,
Ocean or Air, shipping China 20 ports to USA 100 ports, F.O.B. detention, pricing, free on board (loaded cost) included for port-to-port shipping costs added on, in pricing. OrC.I.F. pricing plus cost, insurance, freight (all-inclusive cost), or E.X.W. export, times, weight, times, quantity volume, weighed (loaded cost). Then their empty container cargo ships load up USA, red ink's exports to them for them, and pay shipping F.O.B. destination. Wow we lose twice in one days' worth of China the seller winning the Trade War, then charging our suppliers for shipping on thier ships F.O.B. destination.
This turns their Monopoly shipping operation into profits when they, as a Monopsony, are buying American products at F.O.B. destination loaded costs from us, and charging us for the shipping on their empty cargo ships. Get it ... double dipping if I ever saw it.
How can USA, red ink, win the global war with CCP, Inc. if this is the formula. This results in American enterprises paying exorbitant shipping, unloading with human labor, Chinese cargo ships, and loading products on semis, planes, trains, and automobiles incurring the distribution (insurance, duties, tariffs, volume) costs plus unloading onto wholesalers and retailers’ shelves. Then displaying the products with no marketing charge to the seller
for shelf space. Other exporters are using Chinese cargo ships for delivery to USA, red ink using F.O.B. destination.
Plus, China will take USA, red ink’s paper or fiat currency, in the form of US Treasuries. They hold $1.7 trillion short term interest at 6% + depending on the denomination. All exporters will accept the dollar in those same instruments. Borrowing without collateral, except our gold or energy products.
How can this be turned into a profitable enterprise? Turn the tables on the exporters by requiring all-inclusive pricing, including insurance, duties, tariff and volume discounts. Then manufacture containers, shop for cargo shipping or build our own (like we did in the Second World War) offering shipping to other exporters for C.I.F. all-inclusive costs. Carry this out by our Offense Department (rename Defense) with its objective to turn a $1 trillion loss into a $5 trillion profit in a decade.
In the meantime, put China in a financial loss position, pushing them to insolvency. Forcing foreign suppliers to build factories and shipping closer to the market ... USA, Inc. the largest most influential customer on earth. Expand America's consumer enterprise using competitive pricing, including shipping, robotics for handling, by including marketing distribution costs C.I.F. for efficient, and cost-effective distribution in America.
Within a decade the current losses due to Chinese ingenuity of building their own robotic shipping monopoly, can be replicated by USA, Inc. After reverse engineering of their robotics, and using them against them.
