The US and Philippines complains and got a Chinese news debunking agency off of tiktok by using tiktoks policy against them, we should do the same and debunk these lies on X.

Haven't heard about this. Any links with more info about this?

Remember when people were complaining why China didn't deploy any kind of stimulus in the past. And suddenly right at US election time, the legislature will now vote for stimulus...

It's almost like Grandpa Xi knows his strategy lol and seeing Trump elected he will use China's well-cushioned reserves to deploy a big stimulus

Moreover, when Xi was elected to a 3rd term the Western press painted a picture of a system that granted him absolute power and made the party inherently unstable, since no successor would take Xi's place and thus lead China to turmoil.

And yet here we have the Democrats who for the past few years allowed for the consolidation of power around a frickin dementia patient, with all promising successors and challengers to his position being struck down. The result, America is close to completing its transition to a Fascist Christian theocracy.

Absolutely the worst part about Trump's victory for me is that this Silicon Valley fraudster is expected to play a prominent role.

What's your hard-on against Musk? If you're saying he's a fraudulent aren't most if not all of his kind fraudsters and hustlers to begin with?

But without him and his leadership where do you think would be the state of U.S. rocketry? Starlink system that's now adopted by U.S. defense department, not to mention that without Starlink the war in Ukraine would have looked drastically different and probably much worse for Ukraine.

Beijing remains the undisputed master of political and subversive manuevering.

Yeah exactly.

The Chinese really do know how to play politics.

Cult of personality around him is terribly irritating.

Get ready for the 60%, im going to pick up some extra monitors and USB cables.

If a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports is implemented, certain products are likely to become significantly more expensive, especially for items commonly sourced from China. Here are some key products you might consider stockpiling if you’re concerned about rising costs:

1. Electronics: China is a leading exporter of electronics, including smartphones, laptops, and household gadgets. A tariff increase would likely raise prices on these items, making them ideal for stockpiling if you’re in the market for new tech.
2. Clothing and Footwear: The majority of affordable clothing and footwear sold in the U.S. is imported from China. If tariffs are raised, expect a notable increase in clothing prices.
3. Furniture and Home Goods: Many furniture items, home decor, and appliances are manufactured in China, so costs may rise sharply if tariffs are applied. Bulkier, expensive-to-ship items like sofas, cabinets, and tables could be particularly affected.
4. Toys and Sporting Goods: China is a major supplier of toys, games, and sports equipment. With higher tariffs, these items may become pricier, so consider stocking up if you foresee a need for them in the near future.
5. Tools and Hardware: Hand tools, power tools, and other hardware products also often come from China. These may see price increases, impacting anyone planning home renovations or DIY projects.

60% increase in tariffs won't translate into anywhere close to 60% increase in the final price. There are various markups on the product already so the increase in price would be at least halved. The RMB will be allowed to weaken so the majority of the impact of the increase in prices will be negated.

China's economy will significantly shrink in nominal terms but that hurts American businesses operating in China.

America was always heading down this path regardless of what the democrats do. I can't help but wonder whether people know what's really going on.
