keep fooling yourself. He did not call anyone. They called him. But lie to yourself if it makes you feel better. Funny you guys think US is not expecting China to retaliate.

Na una wahala sha. Trump is doing well for USA, let everyone fight for their own country too.
Hurling insults simply tells me what you are and I refuse to play with you in the gutters.

Attached is for your reading pleasure since it appears you are struggling with that impediment as well.

This piece of information was clearly posted by the op but you chose to ignore it or maybe didn't even see it probably because your fingers and mind couldn't just wait to reply to my succinct observation.

China would be the overall beneficiary of mad man policy.


I think this is period for CHINA to surpass AMERICA, ECONOMICALLY,in INFLUENCE and by extension DOMINANCE, if they can successfully gain inroads to European Union.
In the long run,, you will learn that Europeans are Caucasian, while Chinese are mongoloid. For the Caucasian will always stick to their own.

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.
I think production should be moved to India

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.
LOL

South Korean companies are apprehensive their Chinese competitors don't out-do them. Then you say American companies move operations to South Korea? It is Vietnam and Malaysia that are winning those deals, most of which are powered by Chinese entrepreneurs. This belief that only foreigners own the large businesses in China is mendacious.

She was correct. They are expected to speak to each other with him being the caller, not Xi.

China is not Mexico or Canada.

Stop with the blame game.
Europe has nothing to do with it.
Germany, Romania, Poland and several European countries still uses coal.
In fact, coal is a vital part of Nigeria's energy policy according to the government.

Nigeria coal industry died due to mismanagement and the oil boom.

If Nigeria seeks new investors such as the Chinese, the coal plants fire will reignite again.
Okay

Because you are a weak country, that is why they can tell you not to use coal because of climate change. But China just ignore them and use coal for electricity like no tomorrow.
Okay

I don't understand where Trump is going with the this tariff of a thing. So if iPhone that is designed in America then manufactured in China a tariff will be impose. The main losers here will be the American consumers, because the cost will go up. Trump is asking Chinese manufactures to bring their production to America, but this is not feasible because of the labour cost in America.
There's a workaround. If American manufacturers bring their companies back to the US and try to automate it as much as possible, cost of production might come down

China needs a market for its products. South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other Asian countries should see this as their time to rise
Every Asian country has China as its biggest trading partner. No one is fighting China head-on in Asia because they know the consequences. South Korea and Co have already risen, but do you expect Thailand or Malaysia to fight China? Some Chinese got kidnapped in Thailand and Chinese tourists threatened to stop visiting only for the prime minister to apologise and do social media content aimed at appeasing Chinese tourists.

China has arrived. Everyone should accept it.

That’s so disingenuous of you. Both Canada and Mexico have agreed to Trump’s demands thus Trump is putting breaks on his planned tariffs concerning them.

You are there sleeping. China has moved a Long Time
The guy is right. Even Chinese themselves agree that they are behind the west when it comes to innovation.

Their comparative advantage lies in unrivalled and unparalleled manufacturing scale and a very serious focused government.

Chinese manufacturing scale and prowess is so vast I don't think any other country can compete in another 50 years. China manufacturing value chain is almost 100% for 99% of what they produce.

The only way manufacturing can leave china is if the west or any other country develop a new way of production, like what happened during the industrial revolution when UK took over manufacturing.

The reason why U think china is technological advanced is because whatever is innovated elsewhere, once china gets hold of it, it's game over.
Trust me within few years they will replicate it and produce a cheaper if not a better version.

Look at robotics, electric cars and AI. All were innovated by the west, but right now china is leading in all 3 industry.
China is about to produce more electric cars than all other nations combined. China electric car BYD is set to be the largest car manufacturing company in the world beating even Toyota. They are growing by over 500% every year.

All those tiktok tech application videos doesn't mean innovation.
Showing videos of drones delivering fast food to homes isn't innovation. U can replicate such in Ogbomoso if the demand and resource is available.

Look at driverless cars, despite all the noise on tiktok videos about autonomous cars in china, no Chinese company has achieved any meaningful breakthrough. All they do is some experimental propaganda videos in a very controlled environment.

But let any western company start production of driverless cars, china will take over within few years.

That's their strength. Whether its a good or bad
strength, that's up for debate.

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.
You do know the two things can coexist?

Ask Peter Thiel.

US is actually losing its place due to the awareness of the rest of the world.

The Internet is a leveler.

It allows a boy in Ajangbadi to.code and develop tools even the Americans themselves would use.

No western nation has mastered driverless cars either.

Which means it is still an open race.

In the modern day, it is difficult to hide information, and China has a policy to seek and use information.

How about infrastructure? China is like 500 years ahead of America. The only aspect China is lagging behind the US is their military and they are closing the gap really fast while the US is self destructing.

if this is a question, I'll say it's better the money stays in America than going to china.

Even if the rich gets richer, hope you know the chain reaction it will trigger, the supply chain, insurance, tax. There will be money in the real sector. and still better than when the money stays outside.

Also hope you know that common vehicle manufacturing is very very vital to national security?

Or do as America dominated the ship building sector in the past with up to 300 ship building yards, but now china dominate that sector leaving china with less than 20yards presently.

Hope you know how important ship building is important to national security?

Not every country is like Nigeria that's liking either the west or the Chinese

I think you are simply going round in circles.

Looking for a way that suggests US wins, when they clearly won't.

America has lost an edge, brought about by globalisation and the demystification of American superiority.

Same is happening to Europe.

China has been able to hold a balance by producing for all, being quite wealthy, still creating a sense of mystery by how closely they guide their country, culture government and investments.

South korea dont do cheap, America is not built do things for themselves, they cant survive a close economy unlike china

Cost production in america is back breaking that is why they outsource there design most times ... America may appear like they have upper hand But in real sense not true.

China have technology, cheap labour and dominance in major market of the world ...

Then you are the one that can't read the room properly, what's my take on who win or not?
The argument stems from if America should continue allowing American manufacturing to be inside or outside America, and I have reasons to why America should bring manufacturing back to America.

Not everyone likes playing second fiddle to the east or the west
