And na you go come buy China goods? You think say na only those cheap phones and fabrics they ship to Africa China de produce? How many Nigerians can afford to buy electric cars made in China? And how many can you even buy in a year?
You get point, but if you compare the volume if Trade BTW the 2 Continents, Africa is on the rise with its Huge population. China is making it big here. Most Millionaires in China made their money in Africa 💯
And there are more Millionaires in China than America.
Did you see China bug? It's because they have huge and extensive market ON EVERY part of THE GLOBE. THEY ARE WORLD POWER & ECONOMIC POWER.

They play the tariffs will only affect the US consumers did you know that BRICS makes up the 56-60% of world trade while the US is 4% . Even Elon musk called Trump trade advisor a slowpoke. The US is living in the past the world economy has changed even SA (South Africa) doesn't give a bleep about the US sanctions bcs they are major stake holders among the BRICS. The reality is that the end of US empire and dominance has come
America is denying China its market bros,
It is almost useless to have large production capacity without offtakers.
Na BRICS want buy $450B goods from China YoY? huh

The people serving those remaining 7billion will fold up. If you must know most of those 7billion u mentioned have their leaders currently negotiating(make we no call am begging) with US to show some mercy
Nobody is begging US.

It would have made the media already.

In fact, most countries are either still deliberating internally or forging a formidable unit together to respond.

Africa and most of Europe imports heavily from China. The will be the biggest loser if they don’t shape up. It’s only a matter of time. Harmony OS is an example
Africas total import from china is 200 billion dollars, America is twice that and remains China's biggest market

Trump is pained to the marrow grin grin China is a self sufficient state unlike others and can easily do away with the US but the US can't survive without the Chinese. Investors prefer to manufacture their stuff in China because of cheap labor and almost tax free regime which is not obtainable in the US. (e.g. The likes of Innoson won't go to the US for their spares even big company like Boeing can't build aircraft engines without the Chinese components, Apple will make almost no profit if it tries to shift its production line to the US )
The US should wake to reality that the global economy has taken a new face
Take it or leave it China is 20 yrs ahead of everyone including the US . Just imagine that they have launched their homemade aircraft since 2019 Comac C919 which is even rumored to be better, cheaper than Boeing that's crashes almost every year(all parts were built from scratch which is not obtainable anywhere), China has also taken over the EV industry with the arrival of BYD ( a cheaper and more durable alternatives to Tesla). All it takes China is to instruct FoxCon (major chip and manufacturer for iPhone and Boeing) and other IC companies to stop every business dealing with the US companies then the US will be done for in a few months
Great imagination

Not every tax on goods will be paid by consumers. It will get to a limit consumers will abandon the product all together and the manufacturers won’t be able to transfer it. Then their manufacturing go bankrupt. That’s where china would find itself eventually
Let me quote from history.

USA blocked Huawei from US market, as at today, Huawei is the biggest telecom provider.

USA blocked BYD from US, as at today, BYD is the biggest EV maker.

The point is that, the US fails to realize that it’s too late. China is currently unstoppable. Their trade reach has gone too far beyond what you can sabotage.

It’s a country utilizing its population and will continue to be a choice destination for investors. The US should just stick with services and forget about manufacturing. They don’t have what it takes.

You need to be up to date on your news. Apple has said this morning they’re moving production to India. Wait for other companies to follow. Dey there grin
Na so e dey take easy, India is part of BRICS so apple will need to trade with Indian in Rupees and secondly India is also affected by the tarrif and they will possibly follow the Chinese way by imposing almost 34% tarrif on US products. It's a win win situation for China as we speak

You’re just making things up. India being part of BRICS doesn’t mean anything to US/Indian trade relations. India is the 7th largest trading partner of the US. The US is the number one trading partner to India not Russia and every trade is in dollars . Modi the prime minister of India was at the White House last month to kiss Trump ring. BRIC is a toothless dog

China said they would fight to the end

China and US need each other but trump wants to bully his way to dominance but China is no push over

The worse that can happen would soon happen, all trades with the two nations would stop. If that happens both of them would bleed profusely It is a useless war that would achieve nothing They tried sanctions against Russia and Russia still prospered. US wan test the mic on china
They expect every country to fall to its knees. If Russia couldn't, China definitely wouldn't. I'm sure the proposed deal with Russia to go against China didn't work as planned.

If you watch when Trump jokingly asked the current British PM if they (NATO) can face Russia all alone, Head-on the guy became mute. America knows what Russia can do without them.

BRICS is made for a day like this and are only waiting for a moment like this to strike and Trump fell in the trap . The BRICS are economy powerhouse in their continent and no other countries can do without any of them. If BRICS nation dump the USD for bilateral trade did you know the US dollars will lose its dominance like how the pounds lost its in the post WW2 .

America imports more than 80% of its consumables and food; and China accounts for over 40%. Even Trump himself and his daughter, Ivanka import their fashion brands. Granted that China will suffer economic losses, but this senseless trade war will hurt Americans more. If I were China, I would impose total export ban on America. Let’s see how long it will take before Americans revolt against this bumbling orange man.
Just like when northern farmers threatened to stop selling their agricultural products to south.
Please who lose?

Do you know that 50 of all countries Trump put tariffs on have begged to negotiate with Trump, including india. BRIC is a political symbolism that can’t pay the bills of their member states in terms of trade. No BRIC nation already having access to the largest dollar market in the world would throw that away for some low currency market BRIC nations. Please learn how international trades work

Honestly many of u people know nothing! Gosh! America is the largest consumer of China goods, without America China got no market. Do u think it is the China phones Africans are buying is what is running China economy?? America is the largest consumer of China goods & most of the companies operating in China are primarily owned by America. China need America more than America need them. Mind u EU will always side America. If America decide to devalue Yuan today with the backing of EU, it is game over for China! That will mean total economy shut down for China. You people just want China economy to crumble! Forgetting this position China is today America gave it to them years ago. Without the help of America, there would be no China of today!

My brother, the honest truth is that both nations will suffer heavily in the meantime.

It will take some years for each to restructure and perhaps recover.

They are too inter-dependent trade wise.

You see what you don’t know is that, the 15% export to the US most likely makes more dollars or money for China than the remaining 85% they sell to the rest of the world where most countries are third world poor countries.

How many people in your country can afford Chinese made wears made for American market?
