He claims to have been screwed in past deals in China (he probably just got out-maneuvered), so he seems to have a very serious Sinophobic attitude. He's not even anti-CPC or whatever, straightup anti-Chinese.

Woah, did not expect the Chinese exposure of European luxury brands to gain this much traction. Definately a law of unintended consequences here, since I doubt the CPC is giving luxury brand manufacterers orders to post these vids and this is a time where China wants to build more bridges with the EU, so launching an all out assault on one of the last pillars of European soft power probably isn't something they had in mind.
I joked once after DeepSeek's launch that Europe realized its only relevance to the world were handbags and cathedrals. They can now thank Trump pretty soon, the only thing they'll have left are cathedrals.
Bet everyone was wishing they're Italian right now, since at least the Italians can say they have cathedrals and spaghetti.
1936, probably.
Feel free to add to the list, this is what I can think of at the moment
| 1930s | 2020s |
| Spanish Civil War | Russo-Ukraine War |
| Hitler in his 3rd year as the Führer | Trump in his 5th year as President |
| World emerging from the Great Depression | World emerging from the COVID-19 |
| Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act | Liberation Day Tariffs |
| Rearmament | Military modernisation |
| Nuremberg Laws (1935) | Trump begins deporations |

How dare anyone talk to one another without the US's permission. I'm sure working against the US also means even having expanded trade with one another. The US doesn't want anyone insulating themselves from US sanctions by finding alternatives. Remember even one of Biden's people in the State Department said in a press conference that China defending itself from an attack by the US is violating Americans' freedom. Or how about Marco Rubio accusing BRICS purpose is to avoid Western sanctions? Again you know how what the West says is a crime is not a crime? If they do what they tell everyone else not to do, it's not a crime. If that's not the case, then by Trump's own logic says the US making deals with other countries are crimes.Just in: In terms of China-Vietnam meeting, Trump had self-paradox sayings. Speak highly of Xi and suspect China & Vietnam intend to screw US at the same time.

Just bitch slap them.
Show them your hand, and slap. Since you're kind of angry, slap as hard as you can.
Since we do not want you to go to jail, fight with words.
Those Indians, like everyone else, did not retaliate against the Trump tariffs. The Indians want to negotiate.
You at this point, must slap the biatch as hard as you can.
Why would the Americans even want to bother to negotiate with India?
Really why?
There are far more important trade partners, and there are too many countries wanting to cut a deal with Trump.
What does India have that makes it attractive to cut a deal with Trump? Nothing!
Furthermore, we all know that in these negotiations, all Modi wants is to export more people.
On this tariff issue, the Americans will not bother to negotiate with India. They really do not have anything to offer.
Same with Taiwan. The only thing Taiwan has to offer is know-how. That the Americans are extracting that. Those DPP losers feel so proud to be on the winning side, by giving everything away. Spineless and dumb as shit.
As for the Americans, fuck, this was a clean divorce, with tariffs imposed of over 100% started by the Americans ... ... then Trump exempts all the electronic equipment that comes from China. In this case, the bitch slapped itself. For fuck sakes, who expected that? What a dumb bitch.
At least the stock market will go back up.
No bond melt down, means no financial crisis.
Taunt them on how broke they are.
Taunt them on how they need foreigners to invest in America to maintain their deficit spending.
Taunt them on they need immigrants because not enough brain power in America to do those jobs that need degrees.
Taunt them on military and space advances of China that are better than America.
Many ways to slap that biatch!

If following linear time, then 1933, year 1 of the Third Reich. That was the year Jews were banned from the civil service and various sensitive professions - similar to what's happening to ethnic Chinese today. Two years later, in 1935, the Nuremberg Laws were passed, which restricted citizenship to full-blooded Germans & related peoples (Trump’s attack against birth right citizenship is an initial step towards that), severely restricted the allowed economic activities of Jews, banned intermarriage between Jews and Germans, and gradually but surely forced Jews out of the school system.
But of course, we're not actually operating in linear time. Trump during his first term already enacted the China Initiative to hound out Chinese academics and scientists in sensitive industries. He was already starting his ICE raids vs. immigrants and moving against diversity & inclusion programs. Back then, he received a lot of push back because his parity wasn't in full control of Congress and the Supreme Court, and because several key members of his cabinet had political ambitions of their own and were not just "yes men."
As such, Trump's first term was spent more on preparing the field, and consequently events could proceed much more quickly today, than it did in Nazi Germany. Indeed we already see the calls from the administration to cancel all Chinese student visas. After that, it won't be long before they start targeting Chinese "Americans" for being a fifth column; indeed, white nationalist & Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has already began to normalize that line of thinking through indicating that the US will deport (similar to what the Nazis originally intended to do) anyone who "preaches hate for America." Although Miller mostly has Latinos and Muslims in mind, it's not difficult to see how easy it would be for the China hawks in the administration to turn the same policy towards the "Chinese spies."

Speaking on Chinese-Americans, pardon my insensitivity, but what even is there to destroy? Chinese-Americans have a TFR close to 1 and around half of American-born Chinese women marry white men. It's always been a community that is one generation of immigrants away from extinction.
This. I hope all our bros here residing in US has a good gtfo plan, seriously. Maybe some were thinking gtfo timeline in 5 to 10 years, I'm afraid things are accelerating much faster than that.
I'd extend this warning to our wanwan friends too, when the time come the dumb ass Americans won't be able to tell the difference
