Trump is not interested in winning any trade war but just trying to send a message to the whole world that America are not asleep,
China is a big copy cat, they can't do a thing on their own.

Trump is a huge joke...

The Chinese didn't react the way he expected. Now he doesn't have a back up plan. And pride wants to destroy him!

You are so correct and apt.

All he is doing thereafter is to save face and maintain superiority by any funny means

The US would be starved of products, investors capital would be tied down and the little in circulation would become unreachable to majority of Americans.

America's economy is still over 6 trillion dollars bigger than China's,not to make mention that they have about 25% of Chinese population and are also the largest consumers of Chinese product.

China has far more to lose.

Let's master how to manage ourselves till the tenure of the present America president is over. He has come up with more draconian economic policies that is causing more havock to other nations. His policies are regrettable and they are unlike the America that we know before now.

Trump already lot this is medicine after dead , don’t forget he exempt the big tech companies while the small business should die .

Him and his friends will be exempted while small business suffers

His friends ( Americans tech companies in China like apple) are coming back to the United States. They can't do that in moments, they need time and they've agreed to move to the United States in the space of 5 years.

This is becoming madness and childish

US and China should simply close their boarders to each other and allow us enjoy our peace

China exports more to the US and will ultimately lose this war, the ideal thing is to get to the negotiation table and drop all these ego.

As big as China's economy has grown, it can easily be sabotaged by the US. US can easily blackmail African countries etc to stop buying from China

All Obama needed to sabotage Nigeria's fast growing economy was to support Bubu in 2015, now we are a shadow of ourselves

if I Africa don't buy from China where will they buy from

Laughing. You're only looking at the sales that China will lose but you didn't consider negative impacts American consumers. Meanwhile, China can also expand their markets in other countries. Besides, they're communist/socialist country, they don't really care much

So, other countries are gullibles abi?. Because they're Communist/ Socialist/ Atheists is the more reason they are to be weakened economically for the freedom of the free world.

How much consuming power does Africa have?.

the 1.54 billion people in Africa don't have any consuming power, they're all starving, they're all walking naked and riding on horse back. Nobody in Africa has car,motorcycle or even bycle,no body in Africa ever bought from any where ,body in Africa can afford a phone or laptop in fact all naira Landers are using calabash to chat,all the cold water and drinks you see in Africa are made cooled using clay pots put inside sand,the TVs in our home were not purchased.

Let me just stop from here

Because the media keeps telling you africa don't have purchasing power,how many westerns uses 15 phones at the same time ,

Boy, I’m not the OP. You said the news was fake, what's even the correlation between a broken link and a real news? There are other source if you find it hard to believe what the op put out there.

Why are you flipping your story now? 🤷🏼 Or are you just confused? If you are not properly read to get what ‘fake news’ means, then maybe pipe down instead of embarrassing yourself.

Yes sir.

While China wouldn't hesitate to respond, they are quietly making deals with other countries and gradually replacing the US.

China still holds the ace, once they decide to close their US bond (debts owed to them by the US), everywhere go scatter.

I'm sure wise countries with wise leaders are moving their country's assets away from the USD as I type.

The Chinese economy is highly export dependent. What if Africa begins to produce all the basic things she needs? What if all the south American and European countries ramp up their manufacturing sector? China will loose out. As Africans, we cannot depend on China to produce for us, we must begin to look inward and start producing basic things we need, from food, clothes,. medications etc. we have the population, we have the resources, all we need to do is invest in human resource.
