I think part of the reason for why Trump did this even to countries that are clear and adamant American allies is that he hoped that China would not retaliate but let it slide if he could make it look like he was just rebalancing with the world, not individually targeting/challenging China. It obviously did not work as that picture showed that when the monster roars, the crowd cowers and kneels but one hero stands ready, eyes determined, hands on his sword.

Didn't Australia say they weren't going to retaliate? In any case, China is the only country that's powerful enough and well prepared to challenge the United States, the other countries listed will cause significant damage to themselves if they tried.
Yep, agree completely, China cannot do anything right in this trade war.
According to some people.
That is what Sun Tzu taught, in warfare do not get tricked!.
The amazing part is China does not even have to say anything, and some opponents automatically tricked themselves.
Trump is in a very unusual position now.
China is the only nation to say screw you Trump shove your tariffs up your wide ass. Every single other country wants to negotiate.
Negotiate with these other countries, then China will continue to reroute goods through them into the United States.
Do not negotiate with these other countries, and US influence will go down. Then those same countries will seek more trade with China.
If there is a plan from the US in this Trump 2.0 trade war, we can describe it in one word, sabotage.

Let American companies into China, let them compete in the China market. This is no longer the Deng era.
The Chinese learned a lot from the Americans.
The Chinese auto industry probably learned everything from the American auto companies.
Now that the Chinese EV has taken off, wiping out the American auto company in China, well, you know, times change.
How about $350 billion for a few Virginia-Class nuclear-powered submarines by early 2070?

Regarding Vietnam, they are indeed hostile to China. According to The State of Southeast Asia 2024 survey report, only SEA country that is more hostile to China than Vietnam is unsurprisingly Philippines.
Thailand is very divided. 52,2% of Thais would rather align with China, whereas 47,8% would rather align with US.
Only 16,7% Filipinos and 21% Vietnamese chose China. According to the report, most pro-China SEA countries are Malaysia (75,1%), Indonesia (73,2%), Laos (70,6 %) and Brunei (70,1%).
