Dumb Trump thinks foreign companies pay the tariff. If a foreign company has to pay a 100% tariff for everything they sell in the US, that means the company makes no profit. If they're making no profit, why are they bothering to sell anything in the US? The foreign company is just paying the US for the honor of just "selling" to an American. Of course white supremacists thinks how that works.

Technically not true in the case of BYD. Many of the models offered can net a higher profit in the U.S. after 100% tariff hike than they can in China.

Remember Trump thinks BYD pays the tariff. So if a BYD EV cost them $10K to make and they're selling it to the customer/dealer for $20K and then add the 100% tariff that BYD pays, the tariff eats up the profit and BYD makes no money but in fact is paying the US $30K.

Not surprising considering the fact that the Pentagon is a bigger consumer of Chinese chips and electronics than the Russian military.

Is this the true state of the much superior Western electronics we’ve seen touted on Reddit?
This is like that scene in the Animatrix: The second renaissance where the human factions use antigravity engines built by the Machines of 01 to wage war on 01.

India-Uyghur brotherhood meeting held in New Delhi​

During its visit to India, the board of the International East Turkistan Organization held a fraternity meeting with the Uyghurs living in India in the capital, New Delhi.


Just when you thought you've seen the worst of the Indians.
What is it with these gold chain wearing races and delusions of grandeur (and apparent fixated prohibition against deodorant?)

what I’ve noticed since the trump trade war of 2019, is how humble and circumspect a lot of American industry leaders are now towards China, compared to the brazen arrogance of 2019.

Mind you, this is well before the MSS has decided to repay the Americans and start indicting and kidnapping American CEOs. Zuckerberg really needs to be swearing inside a CPC holding cell for his role towards TikTok .


so apparently, mossad snuck explosives into pagers used by Lebanese and hezbollah, and the results were atrocious. Netanyahu wants that war with Hezbollah and will stoop so low to get it.

Like what?


Think Kargil, hosting NATO, IMF debt traps, and splitting from Bangladesh.
The military is somewhat pragmatic but not totally. First round of US sanctions on paid-for military equipment should've been a clear warning not to trust USA for weapons. Yet they proceeded with more American weapons and now worry of US involvement with India.


Afghans defied the global superpower, not Pakistan. Pakistan hosted and supplied NATO for war. NATO invaded Afghanistan directly from Pakistani soil << never forget this. A war in which Pakistan lost tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers, many of them to NATO raids, destabilizing the whole region, for a paltry price of $3 billion / year that US gave as "aid". Not exactly pragmatic or strategic.


How many elites run to China when they are in trouble? None. +90% run to UK and US (often to regroup and return with new instructions). Same with the middle class. Even if not in trouble, the general population is heavily inclined towards the farangi and very little towards China, despite knowing full well how abusive the West has been and how helpful China has been.

lol you don’t understand realpolitik there is nothing to be gained by openly defying the 300 pound gorilla, it was clever to play both sides in A-stan and have plausible deniability.

I know hotheads like yourself don’t like that, but that’s how international politics is. Also there is nothing to be gained by totally cutting yourself off from an important country like the USA, and by implication the whole west.

It was this that allowed us to become a nuclear power right under the wests and Israelis noses. You and others don’t realise what a massive ecomplishment that is.

Some morons in Chinese company leadership are doing what American companies did with China. Invest in the local company, let them grow and take the gains.

What they don't understand is despite America being an enemy now, the relationship still worked because both sides at the end of the day held their end of the bargain and did their part.

Meanwhile India is not even a stated official enemy and they are already trying to ripoff the other party. They actually are in a way worse than America because they have less credibility, honor and money. America does stuff coz it's scared of competition so you can somewhat understand. India does it because they feel they are entitled to do so. Same toxic brahmin mentality after thousands of years and still refusing to learn. The thing that is really infuriating is it seems they either do it because they think you are too stupid to notice or they do it because they literally think it's their god given right to do so (where was he when the Mughals or Anglos were in charge?)

I think at this point companies like Xiaomi and Vivo that haven't stepped up knowing this should be treated as traitors and handled accordingly.
