The even better analogy may be optical fiber, which also has a long lifespan and where there was overcapacity for many years after a large buildout.

To sustain this export push, Chinese factories are generating massive industrial overcapacity in sectors like electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar panels. Because domestic demand cannot absorb these goods, companies are aggressively slashing prices to offload them into global markets.

At the meeting, members exchanged views on the agenda items set by the US presidency — opposing the weaponization of food, addressing overcapacity, eliminating forced labor and adjusting the MFN treatment principle — and reached a joint statement on the food issue, while no outcome documents were produced on the other issues, the spokesperson said. During consultations on the food issue, many emerging-market and developing members, including China, proposed that food-importing and food-exporting countries should jointly maintain the stability of food supply chains, while all parties have the right to take measures in pursuit of domestic public policy objectives and safeguard food security, the spokesperson said.

Every major US proposal on overcapacity, forced labour and the rewriting of most-favoured-nation treatment failed completely. China's commerce ministry provided the brutal reason why. Most members are already suffering under US Section 301 tariffs or are targets of 301 investigations.

It's true the justice system is currently underresourced and overcapacity. So justice isn't being served.

But, not every ciminal problem can be solved through social reform, or through health and social care.

Some require detention: humane, yes; attempting rehabilitation, yes. Yet, incarceration.

Punt the Runt indeed🤨

Forever dividing, enraging &dog whistling, HURTING 🇨🇦while claiming he’s only one who can “fix it” (sound familiar?🙄) all for his OWN gain. He’s a Pipsqueak POS &liar.

No other country can make the specialty components but China, so I’d like to hear HIS solution.🤔
70%🇨🇦 JS
Brandon Blades PoiLIEvre is such a dweeb. Punt the Runt already ——————————————- Jeff Cotter Pierre Poilievre is way down in the polls. The Liberals are well ahead. And today, instead of letting Canadians celebrate a massive Canadian energy project, Pierre rushed to social media to attack it. This is what Pierre does. He finds something that should be good news for Canada, strips away the context, finds the angriest possible way to describe it and puts that in front of Canadians. Today it was LNG Canada. He shared a photo from a CBC story about Chinese steel being used in part of the $33 billion Phase 2 expansion. But he didn't share the context. Instead, he called it Beijing "dumping" steel into one of Canada's biggest infrastructure projects. That word matters. "Dumping" isn't just some throwaway word. It is the same language we've been hearing from the Trump administration as it tries to portray Canada as a dumping ground for Chinese steel and use that as justification for attacking Canadian steel and putting tariffs on our country. Canada has been dealing with Chinese steel overcapacity and unfair trade practices. In 2024, Canada put a 25% surtax on specified Chinese steel and aluminum. In 2025, Canada went further. We put another 25% surtax on certain steel entering Canada from other countries when that steel had actually been melted and poured in China. We tightened steel import quotas. We have been taking action against the very problem Pierre is pretending Canada is simply ignoring. So when Pierre uses the word "dumping" here, we shouldn't just gloss over it. He's taking a legitimate discussion about where some specialized steel components are manufactured and turning it into a much bigger story about China dumping steel into Canada. And he's doing it at a time when the United States is already using that exact narrative against us. Now look at what the CBC story actually says. LNG Canada says these enormous modules require specialized fabrication capabilities that currently aren't available in Canada. There are only a handful of facilities anywhere in the world capable of doing this work. And the Chinese fabrication is only part of the picture. The other 70% of the steel will be Canadian. That's what Buy Canadian is supposed to be about. Use Canadian when we can. At a time when Canada is fighting to protect our economy from an American administration that is actively trying to put pressure on us, you'd think the leader of Canada's official opposition would understand the importance of building confidence in this country. Instead, he takes a Canadian success and immediately looks for a way to make Canadians angry about it. And that's why I keep saying this isn't happening in a bubble. The Liberals are ahead. Pierre is struggling badly in the polls. And now he's using language that reinforces an American narrative being used to justify attacks on Canada. I don't think Canadians should be helping anyone tear down confidence in this country right now. This is a $33 billion Canadian LNG expansion. Canadians should be allowed to celebrate that without Pierre Poilievre immediately trying to turn it into another reason to be angry.

As the G20 chair, the US expressed deep disappointment after a few member states rejected a joint statement addressing industrial overcapacity. Following two days of talks in Milwaukee, trade ministers failed to reach consensus on curbing overcapacity or combating forced labor, with only Mexico and Argentina aligning with the US. However, ministers did agree that food and agricultural trade should not be used as an economic or political coercive tool.

#CoerceThenCoordinate Précis of Reported analysis / trade policy and international economics co-authored by Oliver Ward and Koen Verhelst Washington Asks for a Common Front Politico reports that the United States went to the Milwaukee G20 trade meeting seeking support for four priorities: curbing industrial overcapacity, eliminating forced labour from supply chains, reconsidering most-favoured-nation tariff rules, and opposing coercive use of food trade. Ministers reached consensus only on the food issue. Shared Diagnosis, Weaker Agreement on Remedies Many governments broadly share Washington’s concern about Chinese industrial overcapacity, especially in steel. Yet the meeting produced no binding G20 agreement on excess capacity or forced labour. A separate 28-member steel forum adopted a framework for further action, but participation and implementation remain distinct from a G20-wide commitment. Tariffs Follow Washington into the Room The article argues that Trump’s tariffs on allies make coalition-building harder by forcing partners to defend themselves against U.S. trade barriers while Washington asks them to coordinate against China. Greer rejected that explanation, saying U.S. trade disputes did not feature prominently. Politico also points to tensions between Washington’s warnings about excess capacity and Trump’s celebration of a major new U.S. steel project, and to a court challenge against the administration’s forced-labour tariffs.
