Trump says he loves tarrifs, so China is returning him lots of love

The rest of the world should come together and do business, it's time to teach the clown a lesson he will never forget

God bless Nigeria
Well, Trump is at 145%. Why didn't China match that?

lol.

Xi is not smart

He should have allowed America tariff themselves into isolation. no need for retaliatory tariffs that will punish your people

simply restrict all trade with USA and treat any import from them the same way you treat cocaine and other hard drugs.

they will get the message very fast

Do not play the foolish game with a fool, they will drag you down and beat you with experience

That is not how it really works.
A country like china and USA, that produces locally, the tariff will kill products that is coming into the country, that means u can't compete with local producers. The buyers are not affected rather it's the sellers
Manufacturing left the US for China , India decades ago, due to high labor cost in the US, apart from food items, most household and industrial items in the US are imported. Your news won't tell you that.

For someone who has been in business for over 30 decades , I expected Trump to know that tariffs don't affect the seller but the buyers.
As long as you can pass on the incidence of tax you can evade it's impact, hence no govt tariff can affect you.

This is what happens when rich clowns buy up governance.
the sellers will actually be affected, the only way the seller won't be affected is, if there are no alternative product locally produced in the country. But in a case where there are locally produced ones that are affordable, no buyers will buy the imported ones and sellers get to loose from low sales.

USA produce around 20% of world goods.
They are not importers but majorly exporters.

China population is more than 3 times USA but they don't produce 3times more than USA.

USA is still a major exporters than China by demographics

This is exactly what will happen the day a northern president will declare State of emergency in Lagos and ask a south south man to be the administrator.

Tinubu behaves like Trump, always dashing people what he will never accept in his entire life.

Let's keep learning from bullies and their reckless actions to others.

Its obvious all the wereys still smarting from Trump's victory came here to vent anger. They cant wait to see Trump fail so they will come here to laugh, mumu people. Make una rest face una country becos Trump will prevail. At least Trump is doing what he thinks will make his country greater but can u say same for your country. Yes, he will make mistakes just like every leader does but at the end of the day, the difference between him and others is that he has the interest of his country at heart more than anything else. If una like make una no face the one wey they una front..

China🇨🇳 has said they're ready for any type of war against the US. You cannot bully or threaten China, these guys have done their homework to perfection.
China don't go around bombing countries in Africa, Middle East, Europe or Asia. They don't impose unilateral economic sanctions.
Re: Xi Says China Is Not Afraid As Beijing Hits US With 125% Tariff by nightsaint(m): 6:09pm On Apr 13, 2025
Trump is only comparable in incompetence to our very own Buhar, and the current Commander-in-thief
Namaster:
There is NO war in which America would win victory over China.

It's IMPOSSIBLE in Military Warfare.
But even MORE impossible in a trade war.

China has the CAPACITY to produce LARGE volumes of a lot of things CHEAPLY and QUICKLY.

That combination makes American Capitalists DROOL.
It's IRRESISTIBLE.

That's why ALL of them have been BRIBING Trump to exempt their products.

The CRIMINAL Felon has exempted ALL Apple products from the tariff after EXTORTING Apple.

ALSO, he's trying to tamp down the deportation of ILLEGAL farm workers because farmers who supported him have been WAILING about a lack of workers.

The FELON has ZERO idea about International Relations YET fools put him in the White House.

Trump is FRIGHTFULLY incompetent. Only thing Trump is good at is GRIFTING for Trump.

Re: Xi Says China Is Not Afraid As Beijing Hits US With 125% Tariff by Mathewrichard99: 6:19pm On Apr 13, 2025
Not only the tarrif but the cheap labour being rendered by the undocumented migrants that Trump has pursued and deported. Most farms are presently short of manpower. Prices of vegetables etc are extremely all time high. Fruits that used to be so very cheap ain't the same again. Yesterday, Trump stylishly pointed out that those owners of the farm can retain their undocumented workers only if they can vouch for them by signing ICE documents. He just got awake cos of the skyrocketing price all over the country and ofcourse the protests brewing up every where but already started in New York.........we are in for a long Trump ride.....

My guy, you do not know what you are talking about. The US has never been a strategic partner of China. Trading partner, yes, strategic partner, HELL NO. The US and China has never collaborated in "almost every sector" as you put it. Perhaps you are confusing China with Japan.

Do some more research on this topic please and stop falling for nonsense propaganda.

I'm all these, I blame the American chamber of commerce... They have done an awlful jobs in the past 4 decades

They didnnt find new markets for American products instead relying on its long standing traditional market... They allowed the country to stray too much into politics and forgot that the economic might if nations are usually access to minerals ND technology...

America bleeped up big time..they allowed china to b great...if u want to know more quote me
When America was fighting the Vietnam, Afghanistan, Middle East.... China was doing their thing on the low and on a very fast pace.

Honestly. Trump overestimates the power of US. Hope other countries learn from China. They really know how to deal with him.

He must have acted against wise counsel...no way his advisers would have told him to go this route with China

He must have flaunted his ego irresponsibly and now he has been badly beaten.

You did not answer the question.

Based on your earlier summary, where are those goods coming from?

Within the US or China?

Is Apple and Tesla competing from within the US?

Don’t shift the goal post. Answer the question.

People like Trump have nothing to lose. So they just behave like maniacs. He is fast eroding a lot of achievements previous administrations strived to make. Canceling USAID, Shutting down VOA, deporting immigrants they have been using for PEASANT jobs over the years, provoking China and Canada to a stand off and tarnishing the smooth relationship that had been enjoyed between these nations all within few months of his show of shame.
He has lived his life already and doesn't have much to lose anymore. His enjoying the commotion and will continue to be on rampage until Americans wake up to "bury him alive".

China always confrontational even when they could be wrong.



China is not invisible. U keep hyping them and their inferior technology.

If US wakes up and pulls the plug on China they are going down. India is already been sort as a worthy alternative for China's cheap labour. Apple is already building a mega factory there. Then what will China have to brag about besides their knockoffs?
You mean they are producing inferior tech and shipping them to US? They deceive yourself. You not know anything about China. Even the IPhone or android phone when you Dey use was made in China
