China economic crisis as Trump's tariffs branded 'kryptonite for investment'

Lin Jianspokesman

If the U.S. has another agenda in mind and if war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end,

a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday

There doesn't appear to be any significant immediate impact from the first round of U.S. tariffs in February,

said Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at ING

Everybody’s hoping that the tariffs that have been implemented are just a negotiation tactic, but the longer they go on, the more they are going to pressure the overall economy and raise prices,

said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth

We are on the tariff roller coaster,

Wasif Latif, chief investment officer at Sarmaya Partners in New Jersey

The chaos that tariffs leave in their wake is kryptonite for investment,

Harry Murphy Cruise said

Greg DacoeY chief economist

The exceptionalism and resilience that we've been talking about for two years, I think is starting to show some cracks,

Daco added

We're going to see a price level change upward,

said Kleinhenz

We've got now multiple trade wars on multiple fronts,

Swonk said

We can't replace an economy that is responsible for 80% of our trade overnight and it's going to hurt,

he said on Monday

There's no way you can win a trade war. Everybody suffers, because everybody's just going to wind up paying higher prices and sacrificing quality,

Prof Rogers said

I just bought my first house,

Joel Soleski said

We are in pretty uncharted territory,

he told the BBC

Prices could go up pretty soon

Prof Rogers warned, though he was reluctant to say by exactly how much or how quickly

This is kind of sticking your finger in the eye of your neighbor,

he said,

It’s easy to be exhausted, but America needs you now more than ever. If previous generations had not fought for this democracy, where would we be today?”

the Michigan senator said

I wanted to make it April 1, but I didn’t want to be accused of April Fool’s Day,

Trump added

I appreciate that he sent this letter,

Trump said

Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country,

he said

Whatever they tariff us, we will tariff them,

he said

We need a more efficient government. You want to cut waste? I’ll help you do it. But change doesn’t need to be chaotic or make us less safe,

she said
