The message China is sending to the US is “we don’t need you and we don’t care, we have survived for 5,000 years (for most of which the US didn’t exist) and we’ll survive for another 5,000” It’s not looking good for the USA.

Trump's going to lose and be humiliated. There's going to be ketchup all over the walls. The question is who's he going to blame?
Please focus more heavily on assisting the immediate ouster of Trump and his entire cabinet.
Also, they never canceled their history, for how many wars, split-ups and joining back togheter they have. Americans think they are "the greatest democracy in the world", but they still had to go under a true authoritarian phase. Hope they will learn not to tolerate stupid anymore.
Yet accurate. Trump is going to continue to take us all on a ride in his crazy car that he disabled the brakes. It’s incomprehensible that he has the power he claims to have.
I keep making so jokes and snarky comments about the land of "no more kings", I'm starting to run out of material here...
My father would have said “They were kiting checks when our people were living in the trees and painting our asses blue.”
Well they care a lot but they won't bend down and kiss orange ass. Obviously there is going to be unemployment and bankruptcies. And they just deal with it their own propaganda way, like fox news.
I didn’t have ‘cheering on China’ on my 2025 bingo card.
trump, that useless chunk of shite in a suit, is ruining my retirement. I'm really starting to have bad thoughts.
I just hope those bad thoughts are directed outward, toward the White House
I plead the 5th
This is their century, and we're handing it to them on a silver platter.
The current #CELAC Summit says it all.
Wouldn't be surprised if the tariff rate at the end of the day for China is even lower than when this farce started
Well, there was The Century of Humiliation. So there’s that.
I need someone to do a Pythonesque “what have the Chinese ever done for us”meme for the trumpettes
But you know what the nazees need to execute their plan of hate? Someone to buy US debt (treasury auctions for t bills t notes and t bonds). This is where screwing everyone over comes back and kicks you in the azz. And they can’t go back to the same wells they’ve emptied either so…..
I'm not sure about the next 5000 years the way climate change efforts are going, but get your point. 👍
In about 5 or 6 weeks, when inventory runs out, Walmart, Target etc shoppers are in for big surprise. Items that are $20 now will be $49 after tariffs are added, and they will be added.
Asswipe shortage for sure ...eh...🤬
Ya that mostly comes from Canada
Mostly China actually
We are very fortunate in NB.....a local producer of these products ....Irving....1 hr away and a relative is QC on one of the lines.....🇨🇦🏒🥊
Same in BC Kirkland brand in Costco is produced by Kruger in BC
John I should have said "a lot" my bad...early morning replies 😜
We are on the same page for sure! Elbows up!
Seems like I should feel bad about rooting for China but…
Our insane PM who did a Trump and messed with the markets got punished by the markets and millions of ordinary people suffered because of their actions. This tells us: 1 - Who is really in charge. 2 - Neither of them give a fuck if ordinary people suffer because of their mad experiments.
Our self importance is a mental and maturity issue.
Its hilarious and just what gop needs to hear. They only listen to getting their asses handed to them
Then we should be handing their asses to them instead of all this peace, love, recycle nonsense.
Elbows up
Trump looks out two minutes ahead, but China looks forward 100 years, so to speak. Trump is the bully who will get punched in the face, figuratively, and we will all suffer.
The PRC has only been around since 1949
Never thought I would be cheering for China, but here we are.
Trump is an ignorant moron who clearly knows nothing about Chinese culture. I look forward to his humiliating defeated getting etched in the history books.
China was humiliated by colonialism in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. They no longer accept anyone's submission. Their mistake was remaining anchored in ancient traditions without embracing the industrial revolution. They've learned.
He’s dragging us down with him.
open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
And you dumbasses gave us your jobs fir cheap labor !
Not to quote Baki, but “a culmination of 5000 years of Chinese economic power”.
145 : 125. This isn’t the final score of a basketball game but the tariff rates applied by the US and China! A crazy contest which was initiated by President Trump who must be nuts to not see the harmful effects of this stand-off on Americans and the world!
And students of Chinese history will know the 'mandate of heaven' idea has seen many more 'all powerful' (but self-dealing and corrupt) dynasties rise and fall before the US founding fathers thought they could future proof government. Plot twist - Nonpolitical govt bureacracies are the through line.
All the more reasons to impeach this bozo of a president who is much much worse then Bill Clinton was ever for far more reasons such as defying the law every day of the week etc
He is a democrat. That is literally all gop care about anymoe are hurting other people
America will be under martial law by July. Americans seem fine with that, their only friend will be Russia, again Americans seem fine with that. I wish it were not so.
Where do you get that we’re fine with that? Last week 5 million people protested and tomorrow will be much larger.
There are a few I see. Cory Booker, AOC, Bernie, Jasmine Crockett. Democrat leadership apart from that looks like they are not used to fighting for their lives. Donald Trump is going to kill you all. Act like that. Martial law in June. On Trump's birthday. He will use the parade as cover.
Every single country in the world is trying to extricate themselves from the US insanity, no surprise.
Trump has literally turned the rest of the world cheering for China, we want China to destroy Trump, not America, we want a world where ideology is second to the welfare of all humanity, ffs all borders are draw as a result of suffering and compromise
people need to understand about China is that they believe the world revolves around them. that’s why we should never go to them. Too late for that. Trump is just mad that they’re not cow towing to him. because they never will. he will screw us all over his stupid flimsy, male ego.
No they don’t. They don’t believe the world revolves around them. I really don’t know about Xi maybe he does but China as a whole doesn’t. They have been around for 5000 years and survived imperialism TWICE.
Their country was poor and their lives were hard for centuries because of imperialism. Imperialism caused by England first and then Japan. They had to claw their way out. And now because they made it out they’re this evil narcissistic entity. I’m going to ask you to check your white supremacy.
Nah, it’s not that deep. It’s more like “we are much smarter than you and you don’t have the balls to carry out much of what comes out of your mouth”. It’s the easiest game of chicken, when there is only one chicken!
China that exists today is much younger than the US. This claim about 5.000 years of history is just CCP propaganda. But Trump tariffs are still stupid and will hurt the US the most in the long run.
The pride of the Chinese is 5000 years old.
😂
The Bully always ends up getting his a$$ kicked in the end
Try 2400 years > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...
Pretty sure a country of 1.4 billion people with a 5,000 year history will do just fine without us. The American hubris is unparalleled.
China's EVs are out selling Tesla all over the world except America. They really don't need America.
China is so far ahead of the US it's a joke to think they can't wait this idiot out
👀 are they saying that from the Chinese perspective?!. then it makes sense! have any of these corrupt greedy folkers done the simple math: !?! 🧮 what is the population of humans on Earth (~8 billion people) minus ➖ population of uhhh 🙄’merica {~340 million} = … ?!? hint: they don’t need US.
That is exactly the message and they are right.
China should stop production of the MAGA stuff especially especially the 🍊 stain’s HatRed
The Chinese do not kiss ass. Particularly big fat felon ass.
5000 years old and unafraid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The US has become irrelevant on the world stage. New trade alliances are being created. Trump must be furious.
Exactly what I've been saying and is constantly mentioned. When I lived in China, I was frequently reminded of the history and of going alone. Now, they don't have to go alone, nor do they need the Disjointed States.
Average cost increase to American families $4700.00 or 2minutes of earnings in Elon's world
Can’t blame them! Can’t blame anyone for not trusting the U.S. now!
Trump is fucking swine at best, and no one is scared of him except his toilet.
Aaaand .... they're right!
And they are having a pretty good laugh.
All the way to the bank.
Most of our stuff comes from China. This could get interesting. Can’t wait for people to take to the streets with signs saying “Impeach Trump”.
We better watch when they dump our Treasury notes and we are left with a bag of gummy bears.
If only gop cared enough. Gop is retarded mafia
The GOP is playing 1D chess, but they think they are smart because they were able to paint the pieces different colors.
DEAD.
Trump regime’s hubris will be its downfall. This term will be a lot shorter than four years, I think.
The Chinese will starve millions of people to death to prove their point if they have to. You will never win.
what the fuck did i just read
They’ve already BTDT. Honestly though, I think Trump is willing to hurt US citizens, too. I mean, he already has…
That much is obvious. Trump is a coward. He couldnt even fire pll f2f on his show.
Trump would kill anybody to get ahead, especially Americans. He already murdered millions last time
Because China is correct.
Pretty sure dis one fake AF
The message China is sending by their actions is correct.
No…. China collect
I mean, they're not wrong.
US will need Europe, all Europe to oppose China's leadership. So Trump, help Ukraine truly, let's trade with Europe with O tariffs !
I don't usually agree with Chuna, but I am so glad someone is calling Tr*mp's bluff. They play the long game.
China controls 90% of the global market on many of them..🤔 China hits back at US tariffs with export controls on key rare earths www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...
bsky.app/profile/gari...
True that
This is a big win for China
But where we get all our cheap, plastic shit and MAGAt merch?
China holds massive US debt. They could be dumping it now while Trump is rollicking in self-aggrandizement.
Trump fucked himself.
And the rest of us. It will be an ongoing fuckening.
Ric,this is terrible. Why would anyone vote for him! He’s killing people, others are living in fear just trying to survive & financially destroying everyone. It’s going to be too late….I would say move here, but God only knows what’s going to happen to our election as well. Bracing.
And it's just started.
But China isn't wrong on this point ☝️ And they do trade extremely unfair by dumping However, Kevin O'Leary ( reality star ) say that US can out last China is extremely misinformed "low-information" China holds 1/3 of US debt 💸
This is the point. They own us.
Nah they don’t own you Nobody does Just start opening factories in other countries for fucks sake it is pretty simple
they own our debt
Japan did, some dumping China threatened too And orange king 🤴 🇺🇸 🍊 folded It's literally a text book #FAFO 🤷🏽
Everybody owns your debt
They own our debt
China’s leader Xi Jinping is allowed to remain 'president for life' as term limits have been removed. Unlike Trump, he doesn’t have any voters to worry about.
The way they're behaving, that's the GOP's goal and so far they appear to be right on track.
PROJECT 2025!
You are correct, king shitbag rules…
No advocate for China but Trump needs to realise that they are a proud ancient culture that would not include a Kid Rock or Hulk Hogan as their champions.Crass,vulgar threats strengthen their resistance & views that these people a barbarians with no dignity.Experienced diplomats would understand
Although he did like their idea of burning the treasure fleets enough to try it for himself
yep, china gonna win this one
Trump has the understanding of a toddler that was dropped on its head. His bullying won’t do anything to deter the Chinese. Over their 5000 year history, I’m sure they’ve seen worse.
I would not fuck with Xi
We in Canada aren't backing down either after Lutnick's threat.
Did he threaten us again today? I have been away from my phone.
Yesterday, saying Canada should be careful with our tariffs. That we don't want to be on Dump's bad side.
Wow! Threats.
As per usual with this administration. They love chaos and yet have no clue what they are doing. I don't ven call it a government, just a bunch of rich guys trying to profit off the backs of every day hard working people.
It’s frustrating they can’t be stopped at anything. Have to get the house & senate back. Have to. Everything is so set up.
Hopefully the mid terms are going to turn the page. He's trying to rewrite the rules to run for a third term.
He is. Cancel votes. More voter suppression. It will be a fight against some very unfair rules. Hope we are not going to be as stupid. 🇨🇦
I hope not. I definitely do not want Poilievre and the Cons in power. Poilievre reeks of Trump and what was once the Progressive Conservatives after Preston Manning for his hands on them, turned them into the Republicans of the North. A little too far right for my taste.
Alberta frightens me in either scenario. Is Quebec flip flopping? I can’t get a read on that for whatever reason. PP has no platform, he was 99% sure he would be the next PM-enters Carney & left PP scrambling.He’s a Trumper & will sell 🇨🇦 one piece, one province & finally as a entire country.
I still believe the last elections were rigged.
Me as well. No way he won. He said it himself.
I must admit, shamefully, that I snickered when I heard him referred to as nutlick.
Nutlick suits him better 👍
I really love that people call him that and I hope it irks him. I also hope he gets hit by a bus.
I'm waiting for a TV anchor to say it by accident.
👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣

Rock on China 👍

It's only an "experiment"... experiments are trial and error. Let the US break up into nation-states... I want to secede.

Folks pls read Chinese Lessons by John Pomfret
Existential mistake by Trump clowns They don't know what they don't know If i was a dystopian fiction writer now I would be in a frenzy now with plausible plotlines
To be fair, North America has existed as long as Europe. The difference is, the indigenous population were slaughtered.
I think the Trump administration will soon learn that America is not the centre of the world and that the rest of us can certainly do quite well without them. However, when American industry also learns this lesson, and realise it’s Trump’s fault Trump will learn a lesson of his own, PDQ!
Yea. Trump is so effing stupid he thinks the whole world is gonna kiss his ass like lawyers are. Thanks ahole.
Trump administration using back channels to all but beg Chin for anything they can use to save face for Trumps lunatic Tariffs. China not having it. They can make it hurt far more… they are dumping our bonds(they own large amount of dept, biggest trade partner. DJT + team self imposed destruction
China will not appear weak to the world. If trump wants a deal he will contact China and make a deal or China will destroy America before his eyes. Trump has picked fights with countries with intelligent leaders. Trump does not hold the cards!
Agreed. I would also take into account China’s sophisticated and huge cyber ability, they have sucked up huge amounts of data and accessed countless sensitive systems, hard to imagine they don’t have Trump+family+key people’s data. Ace in the hole!
They didn't have to suck up our data- Musk gave it to them.
Also in the works is the creation of a sovereign wealth fund. I imagine it as a tool to enrich Trump +a few billionaires…who runs it? Trump’s cronies. What would it invest in? Things to benefit them. The risk they accept is on the part of the people, it is OUR money. Oppose the coup!!!⚔️
I dont think thats China’s plan. They hold nearly 1 trillion in US debt. If they decide to sell that debt, the affect it will have on the USD and the economy, will last generations. Idiot Trump is fucking Americans and not kissing them first!
Great insights and analysis! Thank you for sharing with all of us!
China and Japan selling some of it, this the drop in the bond market, weakening dollar. Coupled with Trump destroying our EU relationships and trust in general with the world the US has incurred permanent damage that is generational, only a few months in, without a war, which is possible, Iran
Read how it was done. It wasnt China and it wasnt only Japan. Trump was just schooled on fighting with a country like Canada. One that is smarter. Brains over braun for the win! deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...
Your infosec /RCAF analysis +intellect is in full display. Talent and intelligence coupled with humility is why leaders like your PM is what right looks like. We have had many but a few old men of privilege had a different vision. here we are. greatful for our relationship, kinship with Canada.
I fought in Afghanistan 2001 with your best special operations people, ditto the UK, Germany, etc. on the ground, as practitioners of counterterrorism with skin in the game we never had major issues. The further away from this is where egos drive action, with no consequences. We shed our blood 4 all
Character is the currency of the realm in my world. Trust is earned. Humility with an open mind. I still work at improving and have so much to learn. I fail but always get up. I am relentless and surprisingly resilient! I learn much from you and all I encounter, thank you for sharing.
I learn a little from each person i interact with. Im not perfect, but i recognize this and i am always a work in progress! We can learn twice as fast together than alone! 😊
Thank you for your service. I served during the first Gulf war and retired in 1997. Have worked with many great soldiers from around the world! We have always had friendship, cooperation and dedication to the mutual task as our guiding light. We will get back there, we the people will demand it!
Thank you for your service. I started in the early 80s, and seemed to always be where I was able to pitch in and help. Just lucky to have worked with great people such as yourself. Different bar same drunks! Keep waging the just fight, we will prevail. It is the way of things, sadly many hurt!⚔️❤️🤍💙
America has been lucky to have 250 years of leadership who mostly played by the rules. The rules have always been easy to break, but great American leaders respected them. Thats not the case today. The system allowed this, and will need to be fixed to never allow today from happening again. Thanks 😊
Over one billion Chinese in China, told the 78 year old baby child with temper tantrum, to kiss their asses.
I hope they stick it to him and his clowns hard
欢迎中国统治者。我们不支持橙鸡小丑。
True
I think China looks at this as an opportunity to unhitch their wagon from a dying horse. America is in decline and China doesn’t want to go with it.
China and the rest of the world.
Well said
We also owe them a lot of money and they own a lot of farmland here.
I will be glad to see America's demise as long as it results in the end of Trump and his band of traitors.
Calling one’s bluff is a beautiful thing
I read a book about China about a grandmother, daughter and granddaughter and it was something Swan. I wish I could remember the author.
Having worked with Chinese people, disrespect and ultimatums are antithetical to their business culture. It's literally the worst our nation's "diplomacy" could have been, and the bare minimum competence should have avoided.
We are talking about Trump - known for his thoughtful diplomatic approach.
This is literally the feckin bottom of the barrel, absolutely the most stupid which is the point I'm trying to make.
The Ugly American rises its nasty uneducated head
It feels like the spider and the fly The idiot is being lured deeper into the web....
Contards?
It’s not looking good for USA Bullies…
It is good for usa citizens vs escalating trade war
About damn time!
A round of applause to any country telling Trump fuck you and the horse you rode in on ( Elon )
Once his J6 Deplorables realize they can’t have a Nintendo Switch, they’ll come for him.
And something tells me they will be the least forgiving of the countries shafted by these tariffs. They don’t need the US economy and Trump just fucked over a superpower.
China builds giant ghost cities while their population is declining, as their housing market collapses. If anyone is more incompetent than Trump, it's Xi. We should all be rooting for a decoupling. How China fares should not be our concern, so long as we go our separate ways.
These people were right. Selling our manufacturing base out to overseas slavers has destroyed the American working class, and destroyed our planet. It never should have happened. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Se...
It was they didn't want to pay us what we are worth, but I guess that doesn't count....right
As luck would have it, lots of European countries are looking for a trading partner. The United States is so fucked.
The whole world is making deals with China: Europe, Japan, South Korea, Arab World, Africa, South America... With Trump: No one. Well, almost no one. He's gotten Bukele, Milei and Orban.
...and Putin, Kim Jong-Un...
China is correct. They don’t need us.
They are dealing with other countries now. Trump is sending this country down the tubes. We have to protest,resist do anything or just something
We must be loud and in numbers too great to ignore. 🐝 a warrior!
Reminds me of the 70’s
I was thinking about John Lennon marching in the streets of Manhattan with a huge crowd chanting “power to the people”!
Good because the US is nothing but assholes liars bigots and homophobic fake masculine pieces of shit! 💩
Or Taiwan. Looking at the reasons why China would/wouldn't attack: The historical/political drive is unchanged & for invading. The financial sanction risk is meaningless when already under 145% tariffs. The military drive has accelerated since the tariffs. Trump made invasion more likely.
Yam tits begs for a call and China laughs and laughs and laughs.
It’s a good message. Too bad more countries don’t have the wherewithal—or the will—to tell the racist, rapist gameshow host to walk his talk and not let him off the hook.
Gop’s goals werent to defens usa, putin and trump made a deal to destroy it and burn incel techno communities and gulags instead. Dems can learn about messaging from President Xi here.
who had 2025 rooting for China on their bingo card
I find it so interesting because we need them more than they need us. I think this is Trump’s fuck you to America. All the shit we buy and we want it CHEAP. Consume is what we do.
Every banker that voted for Trump and they did, should be sued. If they handle someone’s trust fund, then they are a fiduciary. There is no bank in the United States that will loan Donald Trump money. Six bankruptcy 34 felony counts. They did not protect me or anyone else from this criminal.
Trump has no concept of Chinese society and history nor how to negotiate.
Good. We tried everything possible to explain to these people what would happen if they voted for him and they did it anyway. Telling them it would suck didn’t work, maybe it really really sucking will. It sucks that it sucks for all the rest of us too. Really sucks.
💯 I hope most who tried to stop him spent the last few months stocking up or can afford the squeeze. Maga thought he'd make them rich and lower their costs. They aren't prepared for this. Most live paycheck to paycheck, but buy his meme coins, non-functional guitars, and gold spray painted shoes.
They could just shut us off, don't you get it
Like Chinas empires of the past and all others. Us and others will fall then rise again. As every nation and empire has done.
Trump is going to push China into a war with Taiwan 🇹🇼. It’s just a matter of time.
He's sped it up. The only thing holding China back (apart from amassing overwhelming force - something they've just accelerated) was the impact of inevitable sanctions on their global trade. With 145% tariff on their biggest market anyway, there's less to lose. It will likely be next Dec-Feb.
Trump fucked around and Trump will find out.
*we will find out
Yes, unfortunately.
Here's a summary. Not too complicated really. bsky.app/profile/momm...
Time for whitey to feel like the minority we are...
I’ve a feeling they’ve been preparing for this for at least 6-7 decades USA has no chance
China is light years ahead of the US in absolutely everything. Their infrastructure is unmatched. We can’t compete with their technology.
👏👏👏
I am ok with China pushing back and saying goodbye to the US...
I went to Shanghai 20 years ago. In the history museum there was a beautiful carved jade necklace that was 50,000 years old. Also many skyscrapers. China is not going anywhere.
No, not looking for the stupid, people that voted for such trash
They have cards And play them
Mahjong vs snap, no contest
From 2017…. Why America would lose a trade war with China Unfortunately for Trump, it’s not the 1980s anymore www.imd.org/research-kno...
They’re right. China’s fallen apart, been invaded, been attacked on every front, and still exists. Trump’s Putin’s cock sucker and a joke to everyone on the planet. Fuck Trump, and since America seems to not give a shit about the state of their country enough to do something, Fuck America
As an American I've been saying we need to go drag that asshat out of our house. But they all prefer painting signs and singing kumbaya I guess.
With Trump as president it never looks good for America.
Yeah, it’s like China’s playing a 5,000-year game of chess while the U.S. is busy flipping the board every four years and calling it strategy. When one side’s thinking in dynasties and the other in news cycles… yeah, not exactly a fair fight.
Tariffs 34% hahaha they’re laughing at him🤪
I’m sure American technology and assets will be seized similar to what Russia did when the sanctions were piled on.
China told Trump to go kick rocks. Expect something bad to happen. The toddler doesn't like to be ignored.
The people of China have been through some horrendous shit.
It hasn't looked good for the US since 2016. Can his own people not see themselves drowning? Or is a little Insider-trading all they require to keep themselves afloat?
They’re right. They don’t need us, we need them. Nice work on the part of the administration. Jesus!!
The infrastructure projects that China has built across the world in the past 20/25 years is definitely giving them an edge, especially now that USAID is gone and they can fill that gap. Xi has been the smartest authoritarian leader so far.
Not much competition. Also, we dont want authoritarians. Trump not yet defined as autoritarian.
I’m not supporting authoritarian regimes but stopping USAID is a huge mistake when it’s obvious that China is already well positioned to step into that void.
The goverment and china you see today has only been around for like 74 years give or take. In china they actively destroyed their history when Mao took over. I don't agree with anything trump is doing, but don't let your hatred for him allow you to fall into chinas propaganda.
Waiting for trump to announce 1776% tariffs
The one thing I came away with when I spent 3 months in China - they have NOTHING to prove. This is like a fight between the oldest Chinese warrior and the pillsbury dough boy.
China is younger then Trump. 5000 years ago “China” was just warring territories. But the CCP won’t blink if millions of their own die, so to their point they really don’t care.
and Trump won't blink if millions of his own die so
He is sooooo jealous of their wall.
Interesting
They have time. And they know it. Contrary to the Orange Lard Ass, who knows his time is up.
I do not blame them. Not only China think like that.
*thinks like*
#TrumpMadeAmericaHATEDAroundTheWorldin3MonthsWHATSNextPUTINinTheWH
They are not wrong. Dynasties had risen and fallen all while Europeans were slapping leeches on their arms and living in mud huts.
European Peasants?
I wonder what the world would be like if Rome hadn't adopted Christianity and dragged us into the dark. If the line from Plato, Euclid,etc. was allowed to progress. The area, which is now called China, has had its dark ages as well... We just can't have nice stuff.....
This is the part the GOP is not realizing. China, India, and other parts of Asia have thrived for 5000 years and have built resilience. Similarity Europe has thrived for few thousand years. Europe survived both world wars. 1/2
Not to mention that Japan, a country that’s been in heavy poverty since the late 1980s is now partnering with China and S Korea to stabilize the Asian powers and their own economy. Japan will soon be unable to be bullied by the GOP into their bidding. Not when they have this partnership.
Europe is thousands of years think back to the Roman Empire
While in America , the Civil War from 1860s is still ongoing, just more covertly. We need to be learning resilience from them to thrive for a long time. If they turn their backs on us, we are fucked! 2/2
I think China’s current Fentanyl War is payback for the Opium Wars from the mid 1800s.
China starved millions of its own people during the Cultural Revolution. Imagine what they'll do to win a trade war.
I'm glad a lot of countries are now telling the Orange Turd to go f&ck himself.
American politicians may be too afraid, no such problem elsewhere.
That and the fact that inside China they’re saying the reason the original tariff was 34% was very specific but absolutely hilarious if true…
I read that tRump already made exceptions for phones and computers from China. The list will grow daily, depending on who pays him.
Sigh ....... Fuck. Well, unfortunately, it financial economic adversary (China) won this 1😮💨
The arrogance and disrespect of the current administration is shocking. We have usually banded together to counter PRC reach, but the US both abandoned collab efforts and hugely insulted China. WTF
It's not looking good for anyone. Russia is going to get China dragged into an unnecessary war and wash their hands of the problem... We have a mutual problem to deal with.
China holds the cards, the resources, the weapons, the economic advantage. Russia can’t really drag them into anything. They (China) will do the minimum to keep them in line and nothing more. China is playing the long game.
Americans thought the same thing lol they thought they were too smart to get suckered by the Russians.
russia had a few friends, like hamas and bibi, musk, theil, and idu, bezos, zuck Gop and 30 dems betrayed usa Scotus Pentagon Thats a lot of opps
The thing is though, Russia is a has-been (just as we are quickly becoming), and they have comparatively little to lose. I don’t know if you pay attention to scientific publications (I do), but it’s mainly China and us driving research and innovation. And we just threw science under the bus. So…
What's your point, that Russia is somehow not a threat to China because they are has-beens with little to lose? I'm not Chinese but I don't think their statecraft is as naive or as short sighted as ours was.
russia is in the third year of a 3 day war using donkies to pull equipement
The point is that I don’t think China needs Russia anymore than it needs us.
China plays the loooooong game--they always have. Shitler won't last.
Install buys Chinese stocks…😎
If only the world had pitched in 2016.
America is toast
Their tariffs on US are 34%😂 34!🤣🤣 (felonies) They fucking rock I need to get red note, too, we've been misled
Well, actually, China has imposed 125% tariffs on US goods and said that US goods will simply no longer be bought in China. 🤷🏼♀️👏
👍
They can start making their own shoes 🤣
They’ll be eating them shoes, too.
Food normally comes from south america.
Canada says the same. Minus the 5000 years bit…
And China actually built a wall Trump is a gas bag
Trump needs to learn that he can't bully the rest of us outside of US. In Europe, in UK, in Canada and China we don't want to do deal with a felon who acts like a gangster and thinks protecting human life is just a "deal" whether in Ukraine or Gaza. He and his cohorts are disgusting to us.
They’re disgusting to many of us as well.
But many of you voted for him. I don't think enough voted in the swing states to match the official results, but that's another thing for the historians to resolve eventually.
🇨🇦💪
Yep! They have all of Europe, Canada + EU clamoring for their EVs and to negotiate new trade deals with. What Trump accomplished this week is he strengthened the Yen + Euro. And made China the number one economic power in the world. Just ask the bond market.
The idea that the modern Chiness nation has existed for 5000 years is a big stretch. China wasn't unified until 221 BCE and had an imperial dynasty until 1911 The People's Republic of China did not exist until 1949.
They survived Genghis Khan, they will survive this.
Yup. They will survive Genghis Whine.
trumps ego in shambles. Love this for him
China is trolling Trump for the whiny bitch he is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm betting on China not because I support them, but because I hope they tank the USA. I didn't hate USA until 3 months ago, and now I want them to go down faster than Titanic
oh man are you late to the party...we've been worthy of hate and destruction for a quarter of a millennium lol
Then why?
read up on literally any american history... we have been despicable from the very beginning... you guys are awful too but not in our league 😂
next up on the banned books list lol
Strategically, he's making the dumbest decisions he can make unless he's specifically doing this to manipulate stock trades. The silver lining for those of us resisting the 🤡 is that this will hopefully end his regime faster, but it's going to be painful, especially for small business owners.
No it won't. He will stay on until he dies and he will appoint someone to take over
That's definitely what he wants, but people in hell want ice water, too. They aren't showing the people in the streets for a reason on mainstream US news, hes losing support. The people who hate him and his administration are organizing in record numbers already. This will only grow.
People hated Suddam for decades, hated Assad for 20 years, people hate Putin for over 3 years... hate is not enough. If you want to change it, you need to grow balls. Your courts and lawyers let all his shit slide. He will stay as long as he wants and then some more
We see it. Unfortunately, most of the world isn't going to see what's actually being done to appose him at this stage. The propaganda machine is running on full steam. Nobody is going to post anything online that could get them in trouble with his gustapo either, for obvious reasons.
LOL, I hope you realize that it's only gonna get worse
youtu.be/hgchb5b7n4U?...
I really hope so, but for now he is carrying on with his illegal shit and no one is stopping him
Technically China existed, broke apart, existed again, broke apart again, existed again, broke apart again, existed again, were forcibly broken apart, existed again, broke apart again, existed again, were forcibly broken apart again, existed again for 5000 years.
And yet, they're still here. The one time anyone tried to leave the US, they almost destroyed themselves...
Not questioning their ability to survive, or American relevance. Just saying that 5000 years had its ups and downs.
Fair enough.
As a Canadian with Mark Carney, I love this so much. Just sideline him.
Tiny little FYI China & Australia LNG deal *cut off US LNG export China & Canada TMX deal *60% of US crude oil is imported from Canada, US cost v shortage to tariffs? China's gonna be fine the US not so much Articles attached www.pipeline-journal.net/news/canadia... johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...
