There's no real difference between 100% tariff and 75.8% tariff as either rate will drive imports to zero.
Maybe they picked 75.8% tariff rate because 758 sounds like "起舞吧" or "let's dance" in Chinese...

The state can allocate capital more efficiently than the market - an example:
How to make anti-China tweets: hire some amateur actors, take some videos and photos, sell those to someone with ulterior motives - success!
In Canada, you don't even need to have people pose for those pictures. You have people actually doing them to survive!
I was perusing reddit and saw a post denouncing Trump for delaying tariffs on China but doubling down on EU and Canada, which did everything the U.S. asked for better part of the past thirty years. I don’t think that they realize the rule based order is starting to cannibalize itself…
America is a paragon of righteousness, lofting high the torch of Interational Law and Humanitarianism. How could such a nation, almost divine in its perfection, stoop to such lows? It's not as if America has any past history of coercive behavior towards nations who cannot oppose it...
Trump hasn’t really deviated that far from the norm other than doing all the usual stuff in the open and in a loud and obnoxious manner.
Current US Policy is “peace through strength” or in other words using a baseball bat instead of a stick and cannot. MAGA wants to reimpose US hegemony by force as part of their delusion to return back to their post war golden age.
How do they get paid? Cash handouts? Foreign payment/crowdfunding websites?
Just read the description on mydramalist. This part made me laugh out loud.
"After the war ended almost unscathed, it made repeated voyages as a repatriation ship, returning approximately 13,000 people stranded overseas to Japan."
Hilarious. Complete and utter nonsense. Do the Japanese ever talk about the thousands of JAPANESE CHILDREN they left in China on account of them being too selfish, cowardly and too preoccupied with running away after losing the war to even care about rescuing their OWN kids? (and wives). Didn't think so. The Japanese who lived high on the hog in China during that period of time were truly some of the lowest of the low. Sorry to link CIA wikipedia, but it's a good succinct summary.
