THESE ARE TRUMP BIGGEST 3 MISTAKE SO FAR:


1. NOT WALKING AWAY FROM UKRAINE WAR, (THAT WAR IS UNWINNABLE)

2. SUPPORTING AND PARTNERING ISREAL WAR CRIMES IN GAZA AND MIDDLE EAST,(GAZA GENOCIDE MAKES AMERICA LOOK BAD IN THE EYES OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY)

3. IMPOSING HEAVY TARIFFS ON CHINA (IN TERMS OF TRADE, CHINA WILL DESTROY AMERICA)

Will this affect the Chinese labor working for USA productions like Apple? If yes, then IPhone prices are gonna increase massively..

People should be getting ready to buy the next iPhone series starting from 5m..

The village idiots has successfully started what he might not be able to finish..
thats not true because they have factories or will set up factories in other Asian countries whom have been patiently waiting for this . China is trying to spread some wings when others have feathers.

China is gangster! Dear Chinese citizens, that thing you want to import from the US, order it from other countries. If the US can also do same, so be it.
I guess US will divert to Vietnam,Cambodia and the other Chinese neighbours.

The US still finds it difficult to accept that China is already ahead of them. China’s trade reach is exceptional and even with, or without the US, they will still have an upper hand.

They have the market, resources and technology is vast areas.

Someone should ask Trump where BYD and Huawei are without the US.
The US is BYD second biggest market... So is Huawei..... The growth of bye is credited to warren Buffett an American, the Huawei growth is credited to Android , a US softener tech firm.... They created harmony after they split from Android forced by trump... But it sales also dropped

Nice attempt to showcase intelligence but you just successfully made yourself sound foolish! Go back and read what I first wrote and then the subsequent explanation, this is ratio of what each country imports to and fro one another. For every 4 items China exports to the USA, the USA exports one to China, this was the ratio I was referring to not the hogwash you tried to paint!
Oga shut it.

You are talking from all sides of your mouth at once. 75% and 25% is not a ratio and is not 4 times of anything. Your Maths is poor, your English is poor and your logic is non existent.

Also your figures were fabricated from your first post, so why should I go back to fabricated rubbish when you can't accept you erred like a normal human being would have.


See him lying and talking like a true economic illiterate " for every 4 items China exports to USA, USA exports 1 to China" .....so VALUE of exports has now turned to QUANTITY ?! So if China exports 4 phones to USA its now comparable to USA exporting a single car shey? Stay in one lane as the amount of nonsense you are freely and boldy saying is mindboggling.

But I guess its the bias that is worrying you that will not allow you to see straight, so any meaningful discussion with you is impossible.

If you like you can keep posting rubbish for those who are unintelligent enough to research for themselves. At least your idol Trump has made a living with this kind of nonsense but doesn't pretend unlike you.

Tit for tat. Nice one. Nigeria sef don do dem own. I hope trump won't make America unlivable. It won't be funny if citizens are running out of the country to seek life and living elsewhere cos they can't cope with the crazy bills. My annual subscription of 190usd has increased to 325usd.
Nigerians be experiencing this since tinubu... maybe it's time US too started experiencing it.

BYD sold on USA? Are you sure you know what you talking about?

Same with Huawei you said? I think you need to double check what you saying.

When you hear Huawei, do you think their biggest sector is mobile phones?

I am very sorry, but you are not current.

no country can fight America....
America has so many ways to cripple china economy grin cheesy......
sipping my kunu here oooooo grin
But America is feeling it. Almost all items you find in many US stores today are Made in China. Who feels the impacts other than the US Citizens? Price of everything has increased and stock market keeps dropping in it's value. More and more job losses reported every week. It's not helping the US economy at this point.

100% = 1
75% = 3/4th or 0.75
25% = 1/4th or 0.25

Math is simple, na your brain enter coma! Who made mention of value of exports? I spoke stictly on volume and whether it is justified or not, I never spoke about that, I simply mentioned volume......Your anger issue and basic comprehension problem, na only God fit heal you o......Ire oooo!

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.

This is the age of nationalism, globalisation is over.

We must stop using dollars as a benchmark currency for international trade, we must pursue trade agreements that allow us pay in naira...and most importantly, we must pursue value addition of our raw materials. Governors should invest state resources in viable businesses, managed by private professional firms, a type of public/private partnership, this is a good way for states to increase IGR. We don't always have to wait for people to buy our raw materials, or come to invest, States, with their huge allocations revenue, can invest in big viable businesses and investments, as ways to increase IGR...and we can harness our raw materials, add value and sell the finished product in Nigeria and within African nations/europe/asia

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.
China pay nothing to Nigerian govt as tarrif for all their good that has flooded Nigerian market over the years. Manufacturers suffer the consequences which means no workforce as they can't compete.
Rather, it's the importers that bears the burden
Shocked they are celebrating this. Nigerians are too emotional.

Yes, china does have the population. But do you believe that Chinese people don't use iPhone? They still buy their Xioami and other chinese phones. Even when they buy iPhone, it's the knock-off version. They patronize Chinese product rather than Western.

But in America, everyone is using an iPhone. And that money goes back to China to enrich their economy. So can you see? Now There are hundreds of American companies in China doing the same thing.

Even in Nigeria it's the same. All the money we get from Oil goes to importing from China. But China hardly imports from us. We have a huge trade deficit with China but we no get mouth to do anything. They still prefer to buy their stuffs before they buy ours. Americans will buy Nigerian food, buy our oil, damn nearly buy our culture.

Americans are just big spenders like that. But Chinese are more of buying from their own.

Let me even make you understand more, even when it comes to yahoo, which client will you prefer to have? American Client or Chinese client? There goes your answer. grin grin grin

The avg American is a spender. And Nigerians benefit from them a lot. Even people that work remotely online prefer American clients. Never heard anyone saying they got a Chinese client and are happy.
Explain it more to them.
I thought these people went to school.
Basic economics is zero.
So disappointing

Being too just killed America and EU nations as against the Chinese...

American firms are heavily discouraged by their govt.. from giving bribes to win contract all around the world.. they sanction Dem against human right abuse and slave worth ethics...

These made they gain little access to the world major minerals dumps ... Giving china total countrol of 80% of the world main minerals at cheap rates... This making production and access to mineral to them very cheap

Why are you elongating this thing, have you no shame?

I know you are aware that when economists and financial experts talk about Trade Balance it mostly the VALUE anyone cares about and not the QUANTITY.

Even in your second post to me to justify your fabricated first post, what you referenced was VALUE....and now just to win an internet argument you are willing to bend Maths, English and Logic ??!

Oya ooo, I humbly ask that you share with us independent data that shows that for every 4 items China exports to the USA, USA exports one item....because even AI can not be bothered to bring up the stats of such an irrelevant criterion.

Same EU that exploited Africa the most?

I think the point is that, China was more liberal in its relationship with other countries. Unlike Europe and the US, they were using colonial ways. They lso had their fair share in Africa for decades.

If they were so good to us, China won’t even stand a chance.

Those technologies would be obsolete in few years time without further research and development. This is where the US has an edge and China is lacking. Most innovations like lithium battery used in those vehicles you mentioned originated from the US. And the future still holes more! China only copies and mass produce.
Technologies are birth in laboratories of research institutions and not in factories. Think of what is going on in institutions like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yales and Tufts etc. These are the best brains in the world. China does not come close and they know it. That is why their elites would pay any amount to for their wards to attend these colleges.

It's not about being liberal... It's about being corupt...

Tell me.. can china ever arrest Alameisia.. fmr gov of Beyalsa state for stealing it state funds .?

Can any major brand in Europe reduce the quality big their produce for a mischievous African import trader just to make sales..?

China embrace coruption so long as it is not in it's territory...

China exports to the USA: 75%
US exports to China: 25%

If the two countries were democratic, na China go suffer pass but since one is communist, it can withstand harship and poverty for way longer than spoiled Americans hence this is a battle that won't favor Americans!
Exactly what I stated yesterday or so.. A democratic country like US can't fight a Communist power house like China.

The manufacturers in Vietnam and including Nigeria are majorly Chinese. How many American companies have opened manufacturing facilities in Nigeria? grin

Why do you people think any country can out-do China in manufacturing? Labour costs are actually higher in China than Vietnam and India, yet companies prefer to manufacture in China because of its unparalleled depth of suppliers, technicians and engineers, cheap energy etc. This is a country that mints engineers every year with a ruthless work efficient system.

Jerry Eze said "What God cannot do doesn't exist". I say "What cannot be manufactured in China doesn't exist".

China is not Canada o. Seems you people are mixing it because of the letter C
