So what do you recommend China to do? Bend its knees to an entity that does not want to see China succeed? The Democrats imposed severe sanctions on its chip industry and EV industry. They banned Deepseek because it's cheaper than chatGPT. The aim is to strangle China's economic rise. So I ask, when did it become a crime for a country to excel economically? Why should the Chinese swallow their pride? I'm genuinely curious. This is not Canada, please.

The thing about acquiescing to a bully is that the bully gets to demand more. So to prevent that, don't accept the bullying. You fight back.

intellectual property theft is less than 10% reason for the trade war.. 90% of it is tarrifs, China tarrifs the US more than US tarrifs China

that is why you cant easily find a Chevy Camaro in Beijing

Nigeria doesnt steal intellectual property from the US neither does Canada- but both countries came under Trump tarrif recently - so all these is all about balance of trade, lets keep it simple!

Difrent:


Getting interesting.

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

Tranquillity360:
When will useless Nigeria raise theirs.

omoredia:
U can't argue with facts

codemaster2much:
My surprise is that the other arms of government that are suppose to checkmate trump are just watching, my guess is they are hoping they can enjoy the benefits if this tarrif madness works but worst case hoping they can throw in the towel at the last minute to come across as the saviors.

Xisnin:
Fake 75 countries.
Every sane person knows that he is lying through his teeth.
The childish man claimed they were begging him on their knees, yet he couldn't name one of them who did.

Why will he pause the tariffs that was designed to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?
Is he tired of winning?

incogni2o:
China should just bow and negotiate rather than just playing save-face

Emmizay12:
Nigerians supporting china makes me laugh

maasoap:
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.

Flamemignon1:
Except your fact is fiction

Mccollins042:
It has almost worked.
More than 70 countries have called in for negotiations. He had successfully isolated china😂
When he makes a deal with other countries we will see where china will sell their over 500b a year US exports to

Gerrard59:
So who should average Nigerians support and why?

Let's learn from you...

fritiyo:
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.

Basicend:
What gave China the idea to be able to produce exactly the same products that American companies manufactured in their backyards?

That's the origin of the whole issue.
China was Trump's target, those other countries u mentioned were just pawns.

Today they (China) can threaten America and the likes, becoz they can create similar things (with more population) that gave those countries an edge initially.

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.

Goke7:
fighting a war you say by making his people lose their retiring savings in a flash? which kind war is that one.

All those fighting for his people and putting America first don cast!

fritiyo:
It is not ur savings and it is not ur country, it only the foolish democrats that have crying sense the trade war started. Regular Americans are happy that they have a president who can stand up to china and tell them fvck up.
U were happy when subsidy was removed and other foolish policies by the Tinubu government yet u don't want Trump to make life good for his people

Mccollins042:
What was the tariff for in the first place? Was it not to get these countries on the negotiation table?.

Whether you believe it or not, his strategy is working for now

buchai:
The opportunity have come for them to start producing them locally, trump is promoting and protecting them now.

Goke7:
I guess the Japanese who started dumping their bonds in the US market are democrats too 😂

fxexperts:
You must be very dumb at chess to make this statement. Africa is truly a shithole continent thanks to the likes of you and your dumb arrogance thinking/thought pattern. In this whole game, Trump is only trying to isolate the USA from the rest of the world, thereby leaving them exposed. In a game of chess, when a kind or queen gets exposed, they become checkmates even by a pawn.
I understand that Africans like this boastful arrogant man like Trump, who always uses all their power and might at all times, but trust me it is a significant sign of weakness. Strong men who want to remain strong forever conceal their true strength. Make my word from this day henceforth the US is on its way to losing its world power dominance, all thanks to the African man inside of the village idiot Trump.

DrAda:
So how does that help? Ignoring him and his antics will only lead to a fatal outcome for everyone. There are some things that should never be ignored no matter whose ox is gored

maasoap:
He has relegated them, he has rendered them useless and they, themselves knew. He has no regard for them as he believes that there is nothing they can do

fritiyo:
Same japanese are already running back to the USA for tarriff negotiations.

Right now the American stock market is bouncing back with above 2k gains.

Keep letting the media feed u with trump hate.

Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.

Xisnin:
What negotiation and which country has negotiated anything?
Tariffs were meant to correct the global "unfair" system and "cheating" of
Americans according to Trump and his supporters.
It was supposed to bring back manufacturing and jobs to the US.
Why will any sane person who believes in such benefits later make a U-turn?


There is no strategy.
This guy is too dull to even plan 1 hour ahead.
He flip flops like a 4 year old kid in a toy store.
And the so-called tough man cracked without getting anything in return despite
crashing the stock market.

When you say it is working, where are the results?
Where are the new better deals he signed?

Goke7:
Where is the list of the 70 countries?

Mad man Trump!

Why exempt Russia thought they are number 1 NATO enemy.
