How is China immune? They grew majorly of benefiting from partnerships with the US. No other country gave them a chance like America and now they are doing well see how they behave towards America?

Major Foreign companies are banned from China but yet China wants Huawei and its other heavily state influenced companies to dominate Europe, Asia and Africa.

Is that fair trade to u?
You are daft.

America made the greatest mistake to vote in that child as their leader,personally I think he is been so vindictive to his allies especially Canada cos of the video that leaked during his first time as president where the allies were making fun of him and laughing especially Justin Trudeau so he wants to take his pound of flesh.

And as for China,he sees them as a huge threat and he knows China no send him papa. The guy loves people worshiping him.
Exactly the man is just being vindictive however there’s a limit he can go on his madness, I guess he started getting threats for him to fold. You can be US President but there’s still a red line you can’t cross

Meanwhile, Russia so far is the only country that immune from Trump tarrifs, isn't this a cause for worry seeing the way Americans pretend to hate communists
How can Russia be tarriffied when they are heavily under USA sanctions for the past 3 years. Besides US imposed Russia before na a 34% tarriff.
Russia is not on the list probably, because the both countries are not having any trade relationship for now.

What is wrong I. Standing for ur own country has a president. China export to USA is much more than the whole of EU and African combined, trump is only fighting a just war for his people but folks like u won't understand the rational behind it.

And what does he mean by disrespect to "world" markets. I thought he loved to work alone. This is so irrational

The Internet is awash with theories that Trump manipulated the stock market for himself and friends to buy at low prices. Makes a lot of sense

I personally believe that someone out there has something on Trump and is playing him like a fiddle because all of this is just abnormal.

But then again the most shocking aspect of all this is that noone is curbing his excesses which is just strange.
He fired a lot of government workers

Tariffs like thos are what caused the great depression 100 years ago.

This is why we should teach history in schools because those who don't know the past are destined to repeat it.

Between you and China, who has shown a lack of respect to the world's markets? He always blaming others for his actions.
Will you continue to allow urself pay more than what someone pay to u all the time even when that person needs u more than u need them?
America economy is the number one sustainer of china economy because of what they export to the US, then china restrict the importation of American products, would u allow that to continue?

I like when a country is powerful and also brags with it. Trump is just like a lion king in the pride,he knows he's the most powerful and so commands respect from the whole pride,and banishes any dissenting lion from the pride, like the case of young male lions who are usually exiled from the pride when they re becoming too stubborn for the king.

Trump just want to use the tarriff to show the world that USA is the one calling the shots in world affairs and rebels like China would be dealt with decisively if they don't respect USA.

China will later seek for dialogue with USA when she sees that it has been isolated by USA. We go watch how this chess game unfolds.
Dream on grin grin

Below texts are from Americans on Reddit.
China holds approximately $176 billion in U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), accounting for about 5.7% of its over $3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves.  While this is a significant amount, it is relatively small compared to China’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, which totaled $760.8 billion as of January 2025.  Therefore, China’s capacity to disrupt the MBS market by selling off its holdings is limited compared to its potential influence on the U.S. Treasury market.
China is one of the largest owners of mortgage backed securities…they can dump and cause chaos
It's not just the bonds... read up on Xi, his background, and his upbringing.

Now compare that to Trump, a man who has never had to deal, truly suffer, from the consequences of his actions & has only known privilege his whole life.

One of these men has a deep background in politics, and is leading a fucking monster of industry. One of these men does not Bleep around, and throws CEOs into jail when they Bleep up.

Trump is about to get rolled, hard, and is too racist and short-sighted to understand how deeply he bleeped up.

Lol. Don't let his blind supporters on Nairaland hear you cheesy

Why will he pause the tariffs that was designed to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?
Is he tired of winning?
His supporters have short memory, they can't remember the reason he gave for starting economic wars

Go and educate yourself. The US cannot isolate China. You think China is a small fish? China already has huge business relationships with many other countries so they can do without the US.

This is not about power or respect, businesses are gonna get ruined, things are starting to get expensive, it's the consumers that will suffer this nonsense.

I'm also interested to know why Nigerians or people like you are enthusiastic about the power play when it comes to issues like this and not the actual impact on common people like me and you

Apart from China, others countries are even trying to isolate the US, even their neighbours Canada are pushing American products out of their shelves, who wants to do business with an unstable adminstration?

If China agreed with you on that point, they wouldn't retaliate against Trump action. We will soon find out.
Trump reversed the tariffs for other countries unexpectedly because he realised USA was about to get fvcked.

1. China has been in existence for over a thousand year whereas US is just a baby country in comparison.

2. China has seen more adversities and are more resilient.

3. XI will still be president when the orange idiot is retired to the nursing home in wet and stinking diapers.

4. China is debt free while US is trillions of dollars in debts.

5. My money on China 7 days a week.

Fvuck US, Bleep their clueless voters, fvuck their self hating mindless supporters in Nigeria.
You are joking I guess.

You will never see an American citizen going to China to live and become a citizen.

But Chinese flock like chicken into America and they don't want to leave, what does it tell you?

You won't understand what Trump is doing, whatever China knows or own today they copied from Americans. It used to be where Americans got cheap labour,

China can't match America in any of those even in technological advancement and health care.
