Macron, be calculative. Just take note that flooding of Chinese EVs, electornics, mobile devices, raw materials etc will further escalate unemployment cases in France and the EU.

No country can beat the Chinese when it comes to pricing. Because their govt subsidize their biz manufacturing and exporting costs. Plus their labour cost is also very low.

China will not import goods from France commensurately, becoz they are trickish when it comes to balancing trade.

As for Carney and Canada, he also need to fight his emotion. Too much synergy with China as a US neibour will trigger Trump's aggression. If China starts having installations within Canada, US will either attack Canada and try to take over it, or change the leadership just as they did to Venezuella.
The Canadian PM said the same thing. That world order that gave the US such powers has changed. EU will never allow such again starting from curbing their over reliance on US trade, payment system and defense. Canada is now looking up to other partners such as China. Many countries are also learning from Russia how they survived with sanctions that could cripple continents. The Canadian PM believes the hiping of US will soon burst.
Every empire has an expiry date and the fall of America has started thanks to their stupidity and arrogance in voting Trump the second time.

Even Germany is already partnering with India. Obviously, whatever they say about Moscow having files on the that PDO in Washington is becoming very obvious. What Moscow has been finding a way to destroy for decades without success, Trump is dismantling from within.

The egoistic, tantrumatic and narcissistic orange baby-man has destroyed the trust and friendship the founding fathers of the US built over the decades within a year. Only God knows what he has up his sleeve in the coming months and years.

No one saw this coming. It is high time the Europeans grew some balls and break away from the Americans' strong choke once and for all. And start dining with them with a very long spoon, if at all.
Germany and India have no market.

When u leftist wanna be comment out of anger and hatred, this is what we see.

China was nearly closing down the USA as the largest world market, Trump came took USA away.

USA is now the largest world market, no completion from China..

The largest market in Europe is not even Germany.. its Poland. And polish are pro-Trump. All those bravado boys like macron and Co rely on America market.

They are just playing hard guys in public, begging Trump behind.

You don't know who America is. Your imam must have misled you a lot.

America took Venezuela oil away from China...China no sound peke.

China know what's up ni...na una boko haram boys dey beat chest

Who is America? They are only as strong as their allies and business partners make them to be.

If I may ask, on which metrics were you able to come to terms with your theory that Poland is the biggest market in Germany?

Germany is the biggest economy in Europe, with a 4.7 trillion dollars GDP. While Poland has under a trillion. Germany's population is almost thrice that of Poland. I know for a fact that millions of Polish people cross the borders to Germany to work every day.

However, we learn everyday, please enlighten me my fellow Christian brother.

Between China ,Canada and France:
Do Not Mind Macron,
For he is Wrong with this Statement.
Everything President Trump is saying is the true Pictures of Europe 🌍 as at today,so if Macron is trying to Subtly Welcome -Dictator China,he may be looking for Trouble, Because Chinese BRICS is there to Put an End to Western Alliances and anything DEMOCRACY- China and Russia Hates.
-Both Canada and France will Soon know that the Chinese too wants to become Powerful like the USA and once 🔂 the Europe is Divided - Russia will be knocking at their doors- for Weak MEMBERS to be Annexed- see what is going in Ukraine!
Canada and France better Get Sense🏠 Because It's Better To Defend DEMOCRACY than to think you Can Change A Totalitarian States like China and Russia, afterall, Trump time will expires too!

So why do they plan to restrict Huawei from running telecoms operations throughout the bloc?

You are in your Comfort Zone here saying ' who Is America' ,abi ?
Please 🥺,go and Study America Well and come to tell us about them!
•European Countries knows who Americans Are ,for they Control Everything and they can do without Europe and Stand on their Own but Can Europe Stand all alone,
- if China and Russia comes through their own Tricks of Dictatorship,Can European Stand Shoulder to Shoulder?
See what their are doing with BRICS -the use of DIVIDE AND RULE',as they are using it to foster Mostly Dictators Countries in the Middle East and Africa 🌍 Continent, thinking - they Can Weaking the USA POWER!
But Alas, America knows how to tackle all these Tricks by the China- and Russia.
What Trump wants is a Commitment that they( Europe) will attach importance to their Goals of being Strong,
•By Contributing Certain % of their Annual Budgets to building a Strong NATO Army and that USA should Not be the Only One Shouldering their Overall Responsiblity .
Is That Too Much To Ask?
•I think Canada and France -running to China $ Russia ( two Major Anti- DEMOCRACY'-will have a negative Consequences For the European Alliances,the earlier their leaders realized the better!
•President TRUMP is just making a wake up call to Other European Countries- to be Responsible and Accountable, for if they want to trade their Democracy to Totalitarian - then, everything about China and Russia have Consequences.

Trouble has already started and he has made a smart move.

China earned it. China taught everyone that it is possible to move trade away from US and make huge economic prosperity progress.

Last year, China diversified trade away from US and recorded a record-breaking 20% surge in trades last year, same year Trump imposed tariffs of more than 100%.

While France and EU were wasting time in meetings with Trump Hon trade deal talks, China has moving its trade away from US such that today, China can successfully trade without significant trade with US. It was a humble pie for the west and they're now running to China to learn.


EU countries just started selling off their bonds (credit line to US) while China has been selling hers since last year.

China earned the flowers. In a year, US economy struggled, China grew its trade surplus by a whopping 20% and sitting on $1.2 Trillion dollars!
They have a trade surplus of 1.3trillion dollar.
What that means is their export is 1.3trillion dollars greater than import.
China’s direct exports to the US plummeted by 20% last year, and imports into China from the US fell by 14.6%.

This macron of a guy is becoming more stupid. France was the weakest allied power whose capital was easily captured by German forces but for some unknown reasons they make the loudest noise.

America under trump has refused to be used by Europe and the bureaucrats in Brussels are pained. America saved Europe from self destruction and this is how France wants to pay America back. Britain dragged America into European wars by stagging false flag operations. There is no reason why self destructive liberals should be ruling Europe. The cia should immediately commence removal of all leftist leaders from power in Europe to restore sanctity. All these rubbish started from Obama presidency during which self destructive ultra leftist ideologies was passed to Europe and also saw a systemic rise of leftist leaders in Europe

Ok, I see you have no response to the question of the claim you made about the Polish economy. Comfort Zone indeed... Dey play grin

Now to briefly sum up and reply what wrote up there. EU and Canada's GDP combined is almost 27 trillion dollars, whilst the US GDP is roughly 29 trillion dollars. Now, you do the math of the potential hurt America and Americans would suffer should this coalition reciprocate Trump's hostility towards them. Europeans will suffer a while as they adjust to the re-alliance, but the hurt it will do to the Republicans in the US during the mid-terms would be the end of Trump.

To answer your question of doing business with totalitarian regimes...if that will change anything at all it would have happen years ago. Do you know that the entire Europe depends on Russia for gas. And transactions have been going on despite their differences on Ukraine and other issues, like Moscow annexation habit.

Ordinarily and historical, EU's alliance with the US is partly responsible for their beef with the Russians. Again, do the maths.

Enough said.

Smh.
It's so obvious that you are ignorant about this subject.

It was President Muhammadu Buhari who as a matter of state policy direction pivoted our economy to China. The $25 billion Chinese investment in Ogidigben Gas Project was pivoted to the Chinese by PMB, same PMB was the one who signed that some of our reserves be held in yuan .

Late PMB was the one who signed Nigeria's first Bilateral Currency Swap Agreement valid for three years with China in 2018, valued at 15 billion Chinese yuan (approximately $2.5 billion at the time). Many of you were mocking him then and abusing him for traveling to China frequently because you were all ignorant and hating on him.

Muhammadu Buhari's (PMB) era trade legacy with China is marked by massive infrastructure financing for projects like railways (Abuja-Kaduna, Lagos-Kano), power (Zungeru Hydro), and digital infrastructure, boosting Nigeria's connectivity and shifting from resource exports to receiving finished goods, and fostering increased Chinese FDI in manufacturing, though challenges like deindustrialization risks and debt sustainability remain debated aspects.


Late President Muhammadu Buhari was taciturn and truly a father who bore the burdens of leadership to an ungrateful lot with calm equanimity and pride in service to his fatherland till the Lord called him home.

PMB was an epitome of a true Patriot!
