Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Award winning MHIndustry veteran Marty Lavin, JD, weighed in a few weeks ago on the topic of trade wars.
Lavin raised several issues, such as these:
“When a trading partner has rules heavily skewed in their direction, as in the case of China, it is very difficult to achieve free trade.
- Does each party have similar access to the other’s markets?
- Are tariffs similar?
- Are privately owned companies in the U.S. competing against government backed Chinese companies who can survive long after a privately-owned U.S. company would be long gone, and thus undercutting its pricing?
- And most importantly, does the other country operate in a relatively free market?”
Lavin’s full discussion is linked below.

Free Trade or Economic War? Marty Lavin, JD, is an award winning manufactured housing industry veteran in the arenas of communities, retail and finance.
The “US has overwhelming leverage,” said Gordon Chang on Twitter today.
“Also years of freckles [sic] trade policies means there are no more no-cost solutions.”
While Chang’s concerns about taking on Canada and other U.S. allies is debatable, his points on China are worth considering.
