Just wondering if having an Asian American trade representative will make the US less exploitative of south and Southeast Asia. If this will change the way US people and white ppl see Asian and Asian American women. If Asian American women will have material conditions that don’t push them into survival jobs.
Rhetorical questions.
Because yes, representation is important. And also sometimes, it’s just flatulence.
What can workers and communities do when the company pulls the plug on an entire workplace? Tariffs and boycotts won’t cut it — the only answer is democratic planning.
“ ... One question predominated: if GM’s profits were restored, and if GM Oshawa had for years ranked first or second in quality and productivity among all the assembly plants on the continent, why would Oshawa be given up on as a site of vehicle assemblies?
The experience of the past few decades suggests the general dilemma of working-class life under capitalism: no matter what workers do, how good their work, how restrained their demands, and how much they accept in terms of work pressures, they will always remain vulnerable in a system geared to profits, competition and the priorities of stockholders and senior executives. There will always be someplace cheaper to run to, and as corporations restructure to address technological and market changes, workers are treated as little more than “collateral damage.” ... “
“ ... another factor that can’t be ignored. With car production being phased out in the two countries and the slowdown in truck sales expected to continue, GM had excess capacity. If five or more plants were to be permanently closed, US politics dictated that not all the closures could be in the United States. This would likely have been the case even before Donald Trump became president, but it was especially so in the context of Trump’s bravado election promises of bringing jobs back to the United States. With closures in Mexico excluded because that is where car production will be concentrated, Canada could not escape having at least one major plant closed. Oshawa was the chosen victim.
GM waited until the new trade agreement was signed before making its announcement.
“ ... It might have been assumed that the federal and Ontario governments would, even for narrow political reasons, aggressively insist that GM owes Canada a new model. After all, in addition to GM reaping especially high profits in Canada over the years, Canada had significantly contributed to bailing GM out during the financial crisis of a decade ago. Some $3 billion of that aid was never recovered and simply written off. But publicly chastising corporate behavior isn’t how our elected leaders (or capitalist states, for that matter) generally relate to corporations and especially to American business. ... “

As per the recent news, US trade officials have visited Taiwan to start off four days of negotiations over a proposed trade arrangement that has drawn resistance from the People’s Republic of China.
The meeting which is scheduled between US and Taiwanese negotiators in Taipei marks the first formal discussion over a text of a trade agreement after a beginning round of meetings in November. The discussion will be focused on proposed deals covering anti-corruption standards, trade by SMEs, administrative practices, and trade assistance.
As the U.S. and Taiwan agree in some of these areas, the two sides may declare independent arrangements regarding those subjects for what Taiwanese authorities called an “early harvest” as momentum works towards an extensive trade agreement. These two areas that have demonstrated more challenges between the US and Taiwan are - agriculture & digital trade which are likely to take longer to discuss.
The potential trade agreement between Taiwan and the US has disturbed Chinese authorities, a representative for the Chinese Embassy blamed Americans for “wrongdoings” by even arranging the deal, as per reported.
“China is consistently against any nation arranging economic and trade accords of sovereign implication or official nature with China’s Taiwan region.” as per the representative.
The PRC (People's Republic of China) considers Taiwan as a rebel, breakaway territory, irrespective of the fact that it has never ruled the democratic, self-governing island country since the Chinese Communist Party held onto control of the mainland in 1949 following a 22-year civil war. Chinese leader Xi Jinping and other senior CCP authorities have repeatedly declined to rule out the use of power to bring about Taiwan’s “reunification” with the PRC.
