This article is about how china and the United States over how much our tax should or shouldn't be within trade reasons. We are also mad that Beijing, one of our other countries we trade with, is limiting import on books, songs, and movies which is very much against our policy.
ReplyDeleteThis affects me as an American because when we are older or even here soon sometime we could stop trading around the world and our economy would go down. If trading stopped not only our economy would crash but the ones we traded with. This could force almost every American to lose their jobs and have to live in poverty. Everyone needs to go by the rules that are already settled.
This article is about World Trade Organization (W.T.O) laws and how China doesn't want to obey them. China wanted to come up with its own trade organization to limit imports of things like books and electronics. This goes against the laws of the W.T.O. We (the United States of America) filed a broad trade case against China in September 2012 saying that it was unfair to limit imports, the file was approved.
ReplyDeleteI think this would effect me because a lot of electronics come from China. I like a lot of things but my electronics are a huge part of my life and a big development for the world. It also effects me because China makes so many products that if they stop exporting to us, we may not be able to be safe and healthy. We need things like clothes to live and be comfortable and accepting of daily life.
This artical is about world trade organaztion rules and how china doesnt want to obey them. The United States is mad at bejing because they are trading books,movies and songs against our polocy.
ReplyDeleteThis would affect me because china makes alot of stuff and I buy alot stuff thats made from china. it would affect me because china makes computers and I use computers all the time. It also would affect me because this could lead into a big war.
This article is about the World Trade Organization or W.T.O battles China. In August,2009 was the first trade battle over China and the United States won. On September,2012 the W.T.O filed a broad trade case against China because they were doing unfair trade of cars and auto parts. Soon a western country helped China to be against importing solar panels.
ReplyDeleteThis would effect me as an American because I may never get my first car. It would also effect me as an American because we might go into a killing type of war with China. Another reason is because we won't have enough troops to fight with in China. And my final reason is boys probably my age would be in the bloody war with China.
This article is about the World Trade Organization and it disputes. In August 2009 the Americans won there first battle in World Trade. Five months ago America filed a trade case against China. The Chinese were shipping unfair prices of cars and car auto parts.
ReplyDeleteThis would affect me because this act could lead to World War III with China. It could stop trade with China and we would have to start making computers, cell phones, and other items. This act would hurt our trust with China and the Chinese people. It could also lead to less sheep in this country and less silk.
This article was about China and its unfair trading with the U.S.A. On August of 2009 America went into a court battle against China leading the way was the World Trade Organization or the W.T.O and the U.S won ! but China disagrees and wants to start its own trade organization.
ReplyDeleteThis affects me as an American because our school is based around technology and all of it comes from China and if China stops trading with the U.S we could be in a world of hurt. And have to turn are learning methods around fast !
So i really would not know what to do we are in a rock in a hard spot .
This article is about how China doesn't want to agree to the W.T.O. laws.In August america fought with China and we defeated them.Last year the W.T.O. filed a broad trade case against China because of unfair trade.I think China is going to find out soon that there won't be many countries wanting to trade with them.
ReplyDeleteThis affects me as an American because they make a lot of our supplies and if we have troubles it won't be good.I think America will fall apart and so will China because other countries will here about it and not want to trade.I predict a lot of countries going to fall apart.China is a big supplier for countries around the world so I predict a lot of countries going down with each other.
This article is about how the World Trade Organization is a great way for other trading countries to voice their opinions. In 2009 China was declared the largest exporting country. However, in August of 2009 the World Trade Organization - W.T.O. gave the U.S. "victory" by saying Beijing was limiting imports of songs, books, and movies. In September 2012, the U.S. filed a "broad trade" case against China. We won the case. Also a Western government has helped the action of going against solar panels being imported by China.
ReplyDeleteThis article affects me as an American citizen because if the U.S. got into a big fight with China, then China would stop imports to America. That would be a very bad thing for our economy, due to the fact that a major part of our products are made in China. If our economy went that bad then we may look to other countries for a new trade system. We would most likely be turned down because the opposing country would not want China to stop trading with them. Things would be bad for us.
This article was about the WTO.It talks about what it does as an organization.The World Trade Organization works to help promote free trade or peaceful trade within the nations. They were established in 1995 in replacement to GATT. The United States filed a complaint against China for claiming that Bejing was "playing unfair",in the end the US won.This happened in 2009.China joined in 2001.
ReplyDeleteThis affects me as an american because if the WTO didn't exist we wouldn't be able to trade peacefully.We would not have things like laptops, ipods,and tablets because China might not want to give those to us.And we wouldn't be able to give things to China like cars and livestock.Without trade we would not be here today.
This article was about the World Trade Organization. China doesn't want to obey the laws. They wanted to trade items like movies, books, and songs but they can't because of The World Trade Organization laws. In September 2012, the US filed a broad trade case againts China for unfair exports of cars and auto parts.
ReplyDeleteThis effects me because China may not sell us electronics anymore. I have alot of electronics and so do many other people and it is a big part of this world. China could stop selling us other things too. China is a big part of US products.
This artica was about the world trade center in a fight with china.Cina is where most of thing come.The reason thor in a fight is because china dosen't want to onbey the law.In september 2012 they filed a broad case against china because of the unfair expiorts auto and cars.China is a masjior industry today.
ReplyDeleteThis article can relate to me because im an american and we get a lot of things from china.If the w.t.b we wouldnt be able to trade peacfully.We get like toys plates and many more items from china.if we couldnt trade peacefully then we wouldnt have some of the live stock we have today.
This article is about The World Trade Organization and how China is not wanting to obey the laws.China is wanting to trade items such as books,movies,and songs.It is illegal to do that according to The World Trade Organization laws.In September 2012, the US filed a trade case on China for unfair exports such as auto parts and cars.
ReplyDeleteThis article effects because China may not want to ship products to the US anymore.I have a lot of electronic with the Made In China tag on them and I don't know what I would do without my electronics.Also at school we probably couldn't get new computer and printer because those are made in China.There is also many other things China ships to the US other than just electronics.China plays a huge role in US products.
This is about China trading unfairly. China will not let us sell our stuff to them. They will sell their stuff to us though. This could end in war.
ReplyDeleteThis could affect me and many other people a lot. War could happen between us. We would most likely lose. Our electronic come from China mostly and we could not get them. This could affect me and many other people in many ways.
This article is about how the World Trade Organization works. The World Trade Organization helps promote peaceful trade between countries. In 1995 the World Trade Organization was established to replace GATT. China wasn't obeying the laws of the World Trade Organization so America filed a trade case against China. In the end America won the trade battle against China.
ReplyDeleteThis article effects me because America imports many items from China. If China stops trade then we wouldn't be able to get goods from there. Other countries could stop trade with America because they could be afraid that China would stop trading with them. America imports electronics, vehicles, clothes and many other items. Without the imports from other countries and without America being able to export goods to other countries it would hurt our economy tremendously.
This article is about the World Trade Organization. It talks about what it does as an Organization. The United States filed a compliant against China. This happened in 2009. China joined in 2001.
ReplyDeleteThis article affects me because if China and the US got into a fight we would stop getting imports from China. That would be a terrible thing to happen to our economy. There is a lot of electronics in our world, and it would be a terrible thing to stop getting electronics because it's a big part of this world. Without trade I feel like there would be certain things that we would not be able to get or that would cost more.
This article was about how The World Trade Organization has become very important for countries to voice their issues about other countries. This is because in past years Beijing, China has been accused of not playing fair. In 2009 Beijing limited their imports of movie, songs, and books which that means that they were violating international rules. Also in 2012 China exported unfair subsidies of cars and auto parts.
ReplyDeleteThis article affects me in a few ways. One way is because if one country doesn't play their part in trading I may not get something I want or need. Another is because if China doesn't trade the U.S.A. anything we would have very few things. That is because most of the things I have come from China. This was how the article affected me as an American.
This article is about the W.T.O. It talks about how in 2009 the United States won a trade battle saying that China was limiting their exports with movies, books, and music. China was breaking the laws of the W.T.O. The United States got them again in 2012 for a broad trade case for having unfair subsidies for exports of auto and car parts.
ReplyDeleteThis affects me because we get a lot of imports from China. Many of China's exports are electronics, and I have many of those. If China stopped trading with us, we may not have as many things that we do now. We would want other countries to trade with us and they may not want too if China doesn't want to.
This article was about the World Trade Organization. China is breaking big rules because they want to trade songs, movies, and books. September of 2012 America filed a complaint with China because they were being unfair and exporting auto parts and cars.
ReplyDeleteThis effects me because China is one of our major import/export locations. We have many, many , many things that are shipped to us from China. If we stop getting items from China then I would imagine many people being upset because they wouldn't be able to get accessories for their Kindles, Ipads, Ipods, etc.
This article was about World Trade Organization. In 2009 China was declared the largest exporting country. China did not want to fallow the law. In September 2012, the U.S. filed a "broad trade" case against China. they wanted to trade items like books, songs, and movies but they can't because of The World Trade Organization.
ReplyDeleteThis effects me as an American because China could stop selling things to us. Then if they do that we will all be pretty much pore because that is where we get most of our stuff. They may stop selling electronics and that also effects me as an American because i always am on electronics I would die with out electronics.
The U.S.A and Europe's don't like Beijing. In the U.S.A they are a couple of states that are in the battlegrounds. The Chins also don't like the Beijing because they have not been trading well.
ReplyDeleteThis effects me as a American because if we do not get along with other countries we won't have the stuff we have now. Then we would be pore and not rich.
The article is mainly about the World Trade Organization. In 2009 Beijing limited imports of movies, books, and songs. That means they broke international rules. In 2012 China exported unfair subsidies auto parts and cars. In 1995 the W.T.O was established to replaces GATT.
ReplyDeleteThis article effects me because if China keeps doing stuff like that they might not be able to export goods to us. If China can't export good to us no more the world would go mad because just about everything comes from china. The good part if that happens is the world will lose weight because China makes cars too, so everybody will be forced to walk.
The World Trade Organization focuses on trade all around the world. Recently China (our most used country for trade) has been playing unfair by limiting their imports such as books, songs, and movies. We (the U.S.)filed a broad trade case against China because they were selling subsides(substitutes) for cars/car parts made there. China then filed their own broad trade case aginst us. Now the Union refuses to buy solar panels from China.
ReplyDeleteThis article relates to me because I live in America and we get 99% of our imports from China. Our biggest importer is China. By being the biggest importer almost everything I own comes from there. Right now in Mr.Husted's world history class we are learning about the World Trade Organization.If we lost China as our importer I have no idea what we would do.
This article was about the world trade organization. China tride to break the laws by cheating people out of money like on imported cars into the U.S.. This hurt them becuase if they were to loose us as a trading country then they would have one less country to make money off of. China wanted to trade music, movies, and books to make even more many in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThis effects me as an american becuase if we loose them as a trading country it could turn this country around. We could loose even more money putting even farther in det. If they were to loose us on the other hand there country could really parish by loosing money.
This article is about China and The United States.In 2009 China was declared the largest exporting country.China didn`t want to fallow the law.They wanted to trade different stuf.
ReplyDeleteThis effects me as an American because we need stuf. And the are one of our main exports.We get alot of stuf from China. And another reasen is because we get alot of electronics from China.
This article was about the World Trade Organization and its history. There have been disputes about items and goods traded with other countries. In the past we have had disputes with China. For many years we and other countries have been trading. The GATT or (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) settle disputes that might happen. Like the one the United States had with China.
ReplyDeleteThis article affects me as an American because in Social Studies we learned about the Silk Road. The Silk Road was a way for people back in the ancient days of China. Another way this affects me is our government is part of the trading that happens at the World Trade Center. I would want our country to trade with country's that are far in trading.
This article is about the W.T.O (World Trade Organization). In 2009, the W.T.O said China had the largest number of exports. In August of 2009, the W.T.O gave the United States victory. The US received this victory because the W.T.O stated Bejing went over the limit of importing songs, books, and movies.
ReplyDeleteThis subject affects me as an American because we previously learned about the Silk Road. On the Silk Road, many people traded items. Today, the US are on the top of the charts for trading. We get many of our imports from China so I wouldn`t want China to become an enemy.
this article is about the trade issues between U.S and China. it also say that china isn't willing to follow the WTO laws.
ReplyDeletethis article affects me as an american because if neither us or china agree we may end up having a war on our hands. And with the we POTUS is running our govenrment we may loose that war and may end up being controlled by china.
