This Bill Assman is dishonest. If supply chains were too sticky to move due to the cost in money and time, how could they have come from all the developed countries to China in the first place? If they were still too sticky to move now, how could they leave China?

Companies move their supply chains in and out of countries for higher profits. Good luck in trying to find places that can beat China in abilities, efficiency and cost for most types of supply chains.

We don't actually know it's 145% or when it comes into effect, the last EO on tariff was the one going up to 104%, everything after that has been just announcements and tweets without any pen on paper. Not that it makes much difference but China tend to play by the book.

The U.S. sent a three-person assessment team to Myanmar days after the quake — ironically, these officials received layoff notices from the Trump administration within hours of the disaster.

In fact when China announced the 50% tariff increase, the news didn't even make the headlines, the headline line was about the Central Conference on Work. Chinese officials have always had and kept their own beat, and I love that very, very much.

This tiktok video was from separate conversation with BRICS journalists especially for Saudi and Emirati media but not at BRICS summit. This highly scripted conversation as i am sure Putin knows these Gulf Monarchies employ Lebanese/Syrian/ Turks/Europeans for such event. It may or may not reflect real views but create item that they can use it.

Vladimir Putin: Russia has unlimited energy resources​

Russia has unlimited energy resources, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with heads of the BRICS media
Putin added that mutually beneficial cooperation between Russia and China is facilitated by the fact that they are neighbors and have a need to transport energy resources and other goods via waterways.
“The entire border is common – that’s all, and the energy resources in Russia are simply limitless,” Putin said.

At some point raising tariff figures would become a childish and sily game of "who can piss the highest". If one just want to win the game, it can go up to 1,000,000 %. It won't make any difference from 100 % except making one looks like an idiot? Trump certainly is that idiot and the world has already seen that, but China doesn't want to be seen that way. So I expect Trump to "win" the game of pissing as usual.

It is very similar to the nuclear arm race when both USA and USSR could destroy the world like 30 times each. It looks extremely stupid.

I think China's consideration of the tariff ratio is around inflation of US economy, interest rate and USD value. The figure of tariff is to deteriorate all of them untill US collapse/fold/give up. It may not stop at 84%, but it isn't focused on mathing Trump's number.
