"Um, It Turns Out No One at the Ports Is Collecting Trump’s Tariffs

Thanks to a technical glitch, Donald Trump’s tariffs haven’t even been collected at U.S. ports.

On Friday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that an entry code in the U.S. system for American ships to use to have their freight exempted from tariffs isn’t working, and “the issue is being reviewed.” As a result, no tariffs are being collected by the U.S. government for the time being. yahoo news[...]"

It’s Indian news, if they are not blaming China in this situation, it would be a sign of the approaching apocalypse. So just let them have their fun and move on until more credible sources speak out.

Frankly, without more solid evidence, I find the guy on Fox much more credible, I mean it’s Fox News, there was a chance for them to blame China and the guy didn’t, now that has to count for something right?

CCTV Commentary: Abandon Illusions, Defend National Interests with a Fighting Spirit

Yulonghui, April 13 | CCTV.com published an article stating that the Trump administration has "shown its true aggressive intent" (lit. "the dagger is revealed when the map unrolls"), and China is responding with resolute countermeasures of equal magnitude. This tariff war is escalating in a spiral pattern. China's decisive and forceful countermeasures demonstrate clear strategic awareness and enduring strategic composure.

From reciprocal tariff impositions to refining export control systems, and releasing the white paper China’s Position on Several Issues in China-U.S. Economic and Trade Relations, each response has been measured, justified, and well-calibrated. This is not just a skirmish—it may well evolve into a prolonged conflict. "When two tigers meet on a narrow path, the brave one prevails," but courage must be grounded in strength. As Sino-U.S. economic competition enters a new historical phase, the nation must unite, strive for progress, and continuously enhance its comprehensive power.

How to strengthen ourselves?

  • Domestically: Deepen comprehensive reforms to solidify development foundations, particularly by accelerating self-reliance in technological innovation. External pressure must be transformed into momentum for transformation, focusing on breaking through "chokepoint" technologies and building self-sufficient industrial chains to avoid dependence on others. In essence, this tariff war is fundamentally a tech war.
  • Internationally: Advance high-level openness to break through containment. History has repeatedly proven that appeasement only emboldens bullies. From this moment forward, we must abandon unrealistic illusions, defend national interests with a fighting spirit, and elevate our capabilities through higher-standard reform and opening-up. Only by self-innovation can we transcend outdated thinking, dismantle old orders, and seize the initiative.

Now you understand why most countries are just side characters in history. They don't have the balls to take action when it counts. Only yap.

A lot of countries (esp India lol) expected China to cave so easily. They really showed their true selves in that moment.
Seems like the "folded" list is missing the United States.
The problem with modelling this as poker is, in poker everyone plays against everyone else, if a country folds to the US, and US folds to China, what will those country to if China raises them?

AI is going to be great tool for China. You will never get Americans to play demeaning roles in movies and TV for anyone else but you'll always find a traitorous Asian to do it for Hollywood. Now you don't need to find Americans when there's AI. Just read the comments and see how many are upset that China did this like it was a great insult. They can't take their own medicine.
American hoes on XHS are already demeaning themselves, it's only a matter of time
