How will Apple, Pixel and other US Tech giants fare in all of these
Their products will simply become more expensive. Like 3 times the current price.

Apple manufactures in China, they do not import into China.

The tarrif is for imports into china
I think you might be a bit confused. Apple and the iPhone will be significantly affected as most of the parts in the iPhone (like most other phones) also come from China. This is one of the main reasons their stock price has taken a big hit.

There is no doubt that iPhones will be more expensive to make, however, Apple could choose to take most of the impact and still sell their phones at an affordable price as their profit margin on a typical iPhone is already ridiculous compared to other phone manufacturers. The guy you quoted was mostly right.

They will have to come back to USA. He’s trying to bring all American manufacturing companies back to USA.

They were all outsourced years ago by Democrats president through lobbying from the Chinese.

Well you can’t politely ask them to come back.

Trump imposes tariffs on China, but spared Russia.

Russia is a friend to China, but Trump is befriending Russia while fighting China.

China will soon see Russia as a traitor befriending the enemy.

Trump wants to isolate both countries for easy penetration.
Russia is under the most severe sanctions from the United States.There is practically no trade between the US and Russia to apply tariffs

The Chinese can't win this trade war it will only make americans to readjust their lifestyles or seek a cheaper alternative to cheaper products elsewhere
So, it USA that would win trade war? You also think China too, can not look for cheaper alternative elsewhere?

You can see how shallow your brain is.

Not true. Most iPhone and Apple parts are manufactured by Samsung, a South Korean company. It wouldn't affect Apple in any way. Most US companies are already outsourced to China and Asia companies, especially Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.

So US is the evil empire? How many of your likes are living and are notable in the holy China empire? grin
That's some Nigerians for you. Irrational envy easily blinds them so some are hating on America because of some family members there. Na yabbis o grin

Imagine backing China as saints & US as evil. We have had several Chinese nationals come inside Nigeria to treat Nigerian workers & regular folks like filth. How many times have we heard of an American coming inside Nigeria to maltreat a Nigerian?

Americans established or supported several missionary schools in Nigeria over several decades, can Chinese missions show us their own input outside of buying and selling including producing our garri in China to sell to our diaspora community across the world, killing our tiny local farms.

If they were forced to come back to USA, will USA consumed all their products itself? If people start rejecting the product, won't the company fold up?

Which tech giants? The same companies that were banned in China? America is the world's biggest market for all expensive products.

Apple moving factory to India is just an impulsive decision that will not address the core issue.

India, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore etc all have the same intellectual property theft tendency that made China a cloning and manufacturing giant today.

Yes, those companies are trying to outsmart high American labour cost, but they should be wise to site their factories in African countries or places like Jamaica, Vietnam. This category of people will not be bothered about stealing your coding or tech secrets. And as such, America will be less bothered about rising competition and intellectual theft.

A lot of retailers will fold up in the US. China will feel the pain but the US will suffer.
This is a battle the US cannot win.

China doesn’t even buy USA goods. They consume mostly Chinese goods. Ever seen a Chinese person with an IPhone?

No. It’s most you and me and Europeans that buy US products.

iPhone are assembled in China and still gets shipped to USA and all over the world. Chinese people don’t use it. They just enjoy the profit and use it to grow their economy.

China exports and also buy their own product. They’re nationalist like that.

The ratio is comparison between both countries.....China actually imports to the USA at a rate almost 4 times higher than the US imports to China, next time don't be a bebeto!
If I had known English (and Maths it seems) was your problem, I probably would have not bothered to waste my time replying to your obvious nonsense.

You do not "import to a country" but you "import from a country".

Your screenshot indicates what USA imported from China compared to what it exported (trade balance reported by US), how does that co-relate with your original claim that China was losing 75% of its export market by fighting USA, while USA was only losing 25% by fighting China (also incorrect).

Just take your time and listen to analysts and professionals before you start making up stats to justify your stupid biases.

Or are you now more financially educated than Elon Musk who hates these tariffs and what it is doing to his business?

Do you know China depends on America agricultural sector heavily
They've shifted to Brazil and other South American countries. This is the best opportunity for African countries to sell their agro-products to China. Heck, Chinese investors are in the north central processing cassava and exporting to China.

Every other country is coming to negotiate. (Except China)

American companies are scattered all over the world man and Trump doesn’t want that. They either do a trade deal or Trump will force them to come back.
