It's interesting how most of those resources that China exports are available elsewhere, but no one wanted to invest in extracting them as the carrot of cheap Chinese labour was too much to be resisted.

If you've a strategic resource and only one country provides it, you've got a huge problem.

Tariffs harm the country imposing them just as much as the country on which they are imposed, if not more so, and only increases prices for end consumers. The irony is many US businesses have out sourced their manufacturing to China so US business will suffer.
Make two of them suffer wetin concerns us from this part of the world. We are still battling epileptic power supply in 2025

Manufacturing scale is quite different from innovative technologies.
And in which one is China lagging behind USA? Today, China is more innovative than the rest of the world combined together and China export more products to USA than she imports.
Few and occasional trips to tiktok will enlighten you about how deeply innovative China is at the moment

American Technologies made China what China is today. Like if you Agree, Share if not.
China will chew America and spit it out when it comes to technology.
Those ones have surpassed USA now by so many years.
USA that's not serious again, They stopped being tech leaders, top researchers and starting campaigning worldwide for LGBTQ and all that gender rubbish.

Tariff will help US manufacturing rise again...

China started it by placing 10% tariff on USA electronics and cars. China did to make Chinese goods cheap.

But USA did it to them, they are throwing tantrums...I have been saying it, China is the worst world power that should be allowed to take over.

If America moves manufacturing to south Korea instead of China,it will shake China as they are Americas major trading partner.

Alot of country's has started renegotiating to avoid the tariffs.
It will be in the interest of both countries to calm down,but America has the upper hand for now.
How I wish you made sense. China has complete production line of 98℅ of the goods they manufacture. They import very little but export everything from goods and services and they serve all countries of the world. They can survive without US.

They keep manipulating their currency to stay below Dollars so that US will keep finding it difficult to manufacture and sell competitively. US will become a paper tiger if BRICS come into play.
It's people that have never been to the two countries that still thinks that US has anything to offer apart from wars.

And now, I'm wondering how who his monika is Zombie will be telling someone that he doesn't have sense.
A zombie doesn't have a mind of his own not to talk of having good sense of reasoning.
You are just a disgusting Zombie.

I want you to prove me wrong by explaining what you mean by that your commented saying that China produces this and that and for that she doesn't need any other country.
I said you don't know anything about international trade. Prove me wrong by rationally explaining that trash u spewed.
If u can't just bury ur head in your shame and don't bother to quote me cos I will keep exposing your shameless ignorance.

No.
China is a copycat for now.
Just name any sector and you will find China simply copied the published success of others.
Is it semiconductor, R&grin, Aerospace, Software, Pharmaceuticals and AI that China leads in?
Obviously none.
Sure, it produces cheaper alternatives later after seeing working examples from elsewhere.
But that is not innovation.

Even Russia can boast of being the innovators in several fields but not China.

I understand where you are coming from, many people confuse manufacturing at scale(producing so much quantity)
with the actual innovation.

It is funny that you mention TikTok as your source.

Don't forget that Chinese companies have moved to Mexico. They've been successful at fooling Trump.

South Korea has the world's lowest fertility rate, which keeps dropping year on year. In 2023, the birth rate was 0.72 - far behind the 2.1 required to maintain a stable population in the absence of immigration. Estimates suggest that if this trend continues, South Korea's population could halve by the year 2100.

By the way, South Korea has a population of 50 million people.

There's a reason why South Korea isn't the powerhouse it should have been.
if na by population, wetin una be for Naija?

They are copycats but many Nigerians think China is superior in tech innovations
because most of what we import have "made in China" on them.

Which countries are re negotiating to avoid the additional tariffs?

Mexico and Canada only reempasized and represented the agree agreement they had with the USA even under the Biden administration.

This is not the first time Mexico has deployed Military to their borders with 🇺🇸. Mexico and Canada are willing to discuss whatever the challenges could be with USA but they will respond with tit for tat principles and even more if USA go on the offensive with extra tariffs on goods and other measures.
Re: China Retaliates With Tariffs On US Goods After Trump’s Move by Blazetrailer:
Lol...u are not correct. Read international news,Trump is the butt of jokes around the world. Aside from Panama, no country promised anything they are not doing already. Mexico already have 15,000 soldiers guarding the border and they told Trump they will put 10,000 soldiers there, the mumu went to town thinking he won in negotiations before his advisers pointed it out to him Mexico already have 15,000 soldiers there.

Canada already budgeted $1.4bn since 2024 for improved border security. Guess what? Trudea only pointed it to him and Trump thought it was another money promised for 2025 because of his tarrifs, they are laughing out loud in Canada to the consternation of Americans who have seen how dumb he is not to realise that promise was already budgeted for since 2024.

South Africa told him to GTFO!

Now China is hitting him hard too. American stocks are already dipping and he is running out of time for all these games.

The funny thing here is the infantile and obviously silly approach to this. Trump is the one setting up the calls for negotiations, thinking other nations are really on their knees. if truly he had the ace, he should not be the ones setting up calls for negotiations

It literarily has to wait for others e.g ChatGPT AI before it can copy and make its own.

China needs the world . They are a manufacturing economy so things are made cheap but who gonna buy it ? The West and Europe, and The west are huge consuming economy. All those maga caps are made at 5 cents yet sold for $25US.
China are huge pollutants and they also buy a lot of American debt .. so we need each other .

China has moved beyond copying technology of other, that phase is gone.

They are now very vast in technology, locally developed, and robust in science, research and development.

GBASGBOS for Trump....
Trump will ridicule the United state in his four years rule.
Many countries will stand toe to toe with the US not militarily though but in terms of this economy war that Trump is bringing on.
The United States is not a self sufficient country either, they need other countries to maintain balance of power
Who will tell this loud mouthed US president so.

I urge Trump to make haste and call president Tinubu to negotiate Turriff now.

Any moment from now Nigeria will impose a heavy Turriff on USA goods.

This might cripple the Economy of USA.

After God na Tinubu. Even Trump fears Tinubu.

God bless Tinubu
