LoL those farmers. Lots of them voted for Trump. They voted for tariffs on imports from China. They said that if China stops buying their stuff, they can sell it to other "friends" like Japan. So why should they complain now?

BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) -- China will hold the Beijing meeting between China, Russia and Iran on the Iranian nuclear issue on March 14, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Wednesday.
Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu will chair the meeting and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov Sergey Alexeevich and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi will attend the meeting in Beijing. The three parties will exchange views on the Iranian nuclear issue and other issues of mutual interest, said the spokesperson.
Spineless little kangaroo can't even jump anymore.
FAFO. The Chinese government won't allow foreign companies to press Chinese companies to take the hit on the Trump tariffs. Walmart is gonna get into serious trouble for this. If they still want to double down on this, Chinese companies have the right to refuse loss-making business with them. I welcome Walmart to go find alternative suppliers in ASEAN, and Supapowar Bharat.
Quick. Enjoy your Starlink now while its still Jai Hind-free. Once the Jai Hinds come on board, you're gonna miss the good old days.

"China with a growing population" tells you all you need to know about their understanding of the outside world.
They can sell beef to India
Well. Supapowar Bharat's population is growing even faster, and they love cow milk too. It should have been a good idea to sell them dairy products that China is not buying.
Or maybe it doesn't work? The vast majority of Supapowar Bharat citizens still don't have access to supermarkets and upmarket grocers. Plus they can't afford imported American dairy products anyway.
It’s inflation Time!
Surprise! The US will have deficit in food trade for three years in a row. First time since Eisenhower. Bloomberg blames it on Trump.
根据美国农业部的预测，今年美国将连续第三年出现食品贸易逆差，进口额将超过出口额近500亿美元。这是一个令人震惊的现象，逆转了近70年的历史——自艾森豪威尔入主白宫以来，美国还没有出现过连续三年的农业逆差。
“贸易战对美国农业不利，白宫应该知道这一点，或者可能知道但并不在意。每次政府发动贸易战，美国在全球农产品市场的份额就会下降。”彭博社警告称，随着特朗普第二个执政任期的到来，这些农业赤字可能会成为永久性的。
文章指出，在过去十年间，美国失去了作为全球最大小麦和大豆出口国的地位，这两大主要粮食作物的出口冠军分别被俄罗斯和巴西夺取。美国目前仍是玉米出口的霸主，但这可能只是暂时的。阿根廷对美国玉米种植户构成了重大威胁，而米莱政府的政策可能会释放出巨大的产量，进一步削弱美国的统治地位。
几十年来，美国一直以其丰富的粮食产量作为软实力的来源，美国外交官经常宣扬他们的“农业实力”——无论是作为粮食援助还是商业商品，美国的农作物都能满足从日本到埃及等“饥饿国家”的需求，甚至在冷战期间，也曾供应给苏联。
事实上，美国农业的衰落是长期经济趋势的一部分。小布什执政时曾试图扭转这一趋势，包括推出鼓励使用玉米生产生物燃料等政策，但这是美国重振农业的最后一次有效努力。此后，白宫几乎没有采取任何措施来帮助美国农村地区。
此在彭博社看来，奥巴马和拜登至少没有损害农业部门，而在他们之间执政的特朗普，不仅忽视了农业，还因为对华发起贸易战而伤害了农业。对于特朗普的关税威胁，中方的反制措施瞄准了从美国进口的食品，这表明中国完全有信心从其他地方满足国内的粮食需求。
如今，特朗普迎来第二个执政任期，也正对美国农业造成更多损伤。他不仅在与美国农产品的第三大买家中国打贸易战，还在与美国农产品前两大买家墨西哥和加拿大打贸易战。去年，美国近一半的食品出口去往了这三个国家，这些贸易争端进一步削弱了美国农业的全球竞争力，使农民面临更大的经济压力。除非其他地区的恶劣天气导致供应减少，否则美国农民未来将面临需求下降和价格下跌的局面。
