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.

maasoap:
Except that Putin is only using Trump because he knows who the real friend is. Dey there

CHINA JUST WANT SUFFER THIS TRADE WAR

no country can fight America....
America has so many ways to cripple china economy ......
sipping my kunu here oooooo

abbey621:
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!

Skydivine:
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.

AndroBlaze:
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.

U.S. total goods trade with China were an estimated $582.4 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to China in 2024 were $143.5 billion, down 2.9 percent ($4.2 billion) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from China in 2024 totaled $438.9 billion, up 2.8 percent ($12.1 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $295.4 billion in 2024, a 5.8 percent increase ($16.3 billion) over 2023.

PROPEACE:
Make Trump pity Americans. What he did is unnecessary and stupid. He can never win this war against china because while China is fighting america, America is fighting the rest of the world. Trump has succeeded in making enemies of countries that have been friends of America for hundreds of years; Canada, Mexico, Britain, EU. Haba Trump. XI can easily run to any of those countries and make business allies of them and succeed. Europe is ready to work closely with China to overcome the pressure from its rift with US. Trump is just a fool, Americans empowered him so I don't care, they should live with it!

Skydivine:
Mention one technology that is making waves that originated or that was developed in China .

maasoap:
That's what happens when senseless people are voted into position of authority by the people who are being driven by hate, people like you.

Laughing at this ignorance. When China is already living in the future. The age of China copying "developed nations engineering" has gone! Their scientists and technologists are now living in the future.
Fastest electric trains, 6th generation fighters, better space station solely owned by China produced at a fraction of the cost of international space station, etc. Wake up!

abbey621:
Again you're rambling like a noob, the data is there, total exports to China from the USA compared to total exports from the USA to China. I was speaking strictly on volume but if you want to go on value as well we can go that route.

In absolute dollar amount, the USA still runs at a deficit, so I don't know the foolery you're exhibiting!



China: 143 USA: 438, this is approximately 25% to 75% ratio off the total 582 billion trades in 2024 between both countries. Again math is simple, na you no get brain!

Eriokanmi:
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.

ElSudani:
Originated? What does that mean really? The Chinese didn't invent the mobile phone or electric cars but they make better and more affordable ones than any other country and that goes for many many products.

Who cares about what anything originated from? You buy what you can afford and trust me a lot of those comes from China.
As for innovation the Chinese are not just copying stuff anymore, they are improving on many things and in some cases even better than the Americans.

Skydivine:
We have discussed this here before. The technology for the fastest train ( Magnetic induction) was developed in the US. China is only coping and mass producing. Go and research this information first.

maasoap:
And the fact that China was first country to deploy 5G commercially?
What about the other two that I mentioned?

SAMTOBIJU:
Apple is in serious trouble and other companies that produce from China or that rely on US for the sales of their goods.....Make the two president pity the business community in their country o

Unfortunately, it is clear you are a simple dishonest quack who discusses things he has no understanding of.

There is clearly no need to engage you further as you will keep on repeating and conflating the same old drivel.

For the sake of Nigeria, I hope you never have any students or anyone learning from you as you clearly have no reliable knowledge to impart.

Skydivine:
Lol

abbey621:
Unfortunately for you, I live in the USA and this topic has real life implications so your rambling is nothing but ofutufete, an afterthought of insignificance!

No wonder, that explains your dullness and insincerity.

To think people are always assuming we are losing our best minds

Skydivine:
Remember when Nokia torch light used to be the best mobile phone? That is how fast new things become obsolete. Without academic and industrial research and innovation, the know how for making these newer things won’t be available. [b]Educational and research institutions in the US are years ahead of those in China both in human capacity and resources. How many Americans go to university in China? And how Chinese go to school in the US? [/b]There is a reason they are trooping to the US.

Dullness yet you couldn't produce one single evidence against the data stated, typical loudmouth Nairaland ignoramus

See this fake yankee trying to outsmart people that can actually read and write.....na you state your argument was on VOLUME & QUANTITY, please bring your data of how they were counting bananas and grapes for your ridiculous " [b]For every 4 items China send to to USA, USA sends 1" argument. [/b]

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).

abbey621:
Mumu.....Quantity of trade in dollars, for evey $4 that China makes, the USA makes $1, I now understand your confusion/dullness

AndroBlaze:
You must be thinking you are dealing with your fellow dunce, you are a true reprobate.

ElSudani:
Where are you getting your information from? You actually believe the Chinese are lagging behind in Education? Not true at all. In fact, education is one of the reasons they've been able to catch up really fast.
