Why doesn't the US have a trade problem with Japan?

I understand that China is pissing off americans because of trade deficits, but why don't americans care they have the same problem with Japan?

Is it because it's too small to care about?

bump

obviously it's not as big. the deficit with CHINA dwarfs everything else.

also the Chinese government is far more active in their economy. many state owned companies, many subsidies, much more manipulation of currency.

>also the Chinese government is far more active in their economy. many state owned companies

they're a socialist state. isnt this to be expected?

>much more manipulation of currency.
you can't use this argument when the US manipulates its currency more than any other nation

We also have a bunch of bases there and Japan is basically our bitch. Gotta feed your hoes.

>Japan is basically our bitch

how? japan can do what it wants and you can't do shit about it

because Japan isn't a shithole

Japs are polite, chinks are rude.

so as soon as chinks stroke your ego a bit, it's ok then?

but americans didn't care even when it was

when the chinks can suck my dick as good as the Jap ladyboys!

They cant do shit without USA approved.

Superior shit

We do, faggot. They have been devaluing out dollar and got caught recently.

Countries who got caught devaluing US dollar and owe billions:
Japan
Korea
China

explain. japan is a sovereign state

how did they devalue the dollar?

saying X goods is worth X times more than it actually is

>saying X goods is worth X times more than it actually is

how does that work in a free market?

china is not a free market

it doesnt.
it only works through trade agreements between countries. basically, the other country is either accepting a bribe, or are not paying attention for it to happen. since it was under obama, it is likely a bribe occurred.

but it is in the US?

how? as a consumer, i can choose what i buy

Because we can buy armaments with your shekels

>muh devaluation
we din do nuffin, and we have been deliberately capping our own economy with deflation with 20 years, we aren't going to take it anymore

also, how do you determine worth?

>we have been deliberately capping our own economy with deflation with 20 years, we aren't going to take it anymore

i don't understand what you just said. are you saying you deliberately kept the trade deficit low with deflation?

japan and burgerstan have a very efficient trade deal of hentai and cctv footage

Why don't you fuck off if you know absolutely nothing about the subject. Its not difficult to do some cursory reading especially if its your fucking thread, put some effort in and don't start a thread begging for info while being deliberately confrontational with the people trying to guide a retarded faggot to the answers hes looking for.

usually there are tariffs for goods coming in the country. a trade agreement bypasses those tariffs in exchange that the other country buys U.S. wheat, foodstuffs, cotton, etc. so Mr. Han can peddle his wares in the U.S. without having to pay the entrance fee in exchange for buying some of our shit.

notice so much shit in the USA no longer says "Made in the USA?" its because of free trade agreements. we start importing from other countries their cheaper shit in exchange that they buy our base grains and shit

uh, thats up to the retailer themselves i believe

i'm not the one being confrontational. you are

so its american retailers that're devaluing the dollar?

>so Mr. Han can peddle his wares

they're made by american companies. so are they really chinese wares? or american?

petrodollars

no. amercians list their prices proper, japanese claim their shit is worth 4-5x normal price, but since there is a trade agreement, it has to be bought in exchange for what is bought in the U.S. no ship leaves empty.
uh? who makes samsung? who makes sony? since Korea, Japan have NO natural resources, they are heavily dependent on trade of raw goods in which they trade a massive amount of electronics.
do your own school work

>amercians list their prices proper
>assuming an iphone is actually worth $650
