It's time for China to:

• Boost social welfare and internal consumption.
• Double-down on BRI and expand trade with the rest of the world except the US, especially the Global South.
• Significantly reduce the holdings of US Treasuries and increase the reserves of precious metals.

Scott Bessent, Trump's Secretary of the Treasury, underestimated China in 2013, and is underestimating China now.

Have you been hanging out with too many Pinoys dude...that's the only explanation I could think of why your pessimism is abound.

Pinoys who are mostly ignorant of world affairs let alone the understanding of markets and geopolitics at play. As long as America is somewhat patting them in their heads like obedient puppies that they are. They will continue howling for their master.

No the answer is white worship and fear of an "inferior", "non-white", "uncivilized" Chinese rising up. This is superiority complex over the Chinese and inferiority complex over the white Americans. This is what fuels this vassalhood among the Philippinos and Japanese and Koreans and even Hong Kongers. They instinctively hate Chinese and worship the west. That's why countries that do not have white worship such as Muslims countries have such a high view of China.

The first official Syrian response to news of the "secret clause" and Israel supplying Damascus with a coronavirus vaccine
The dissemination of this fabricated information about the existence of a clause in the exchange related to obtaining coronavirus vaccines from the Israeli occupation authorities aims to undermine the process of liberating Syrian prisoners from the occupation's prisons, to offend Syria, and to distort the national and humanitarian aspect of the process," he said

Ultimately, countries are focused on outcomes. If they aren't getting the outcomes they want, they will moan and complain and blame regardless of if it is they who are at fault. The world is not going to become more fair, going forward; if anything, it will become less fair as nationalism is fundamentally about prioritizing the interests of the nation above those of others, and nationalism is on the rise.

The take away for China is that you can't rely on others. Cut your deals where they are favorable, promote win-win where they make sense, invest where you can make a profit, but focus the bulk of your time & energy on improving your own house and your own population. China can only succeed, long term, if its people succeeds. Putting your eggs in any other basket, including in the so called "Global South basket," is a losing strategy.

Fun fact: The White House hasn't released a guideline on who is tariffed what. A lot of corporations and IRS personnel are probably trying to interpret things from that barely intelligible TruthSocial post right now. This is the golden age of the USA, supposedly.

Golden Shower Age you mean because they are literally pissing away the economy.

Can China afford to reduce all existing tariffs by half to all countries except the US? For trades conducted in CNY, reduces the tariff to zero.

If China can afford to do the above, that should be the countermeasure. Money talks at the end and China is a huge market for the world even bigger than the US.
