I say let them reroute, re-routing over the last 7 years is why China's prepared and US isn't. Besides two facts are already established: nobody will be moving any factories anywhere, be it Vietnam or US with 90 day (or who knows how long) planning horizon, and 2 - Chinese suppliers are already cutting off their US clients purely because it's too much trouble.

The fact that Trump just admitted on camera that he folded because "people got yippy" (legs shaking) means chances are he will fold on China too, the question is will Beijing let them off the hook or keep the punishment up.

He needs to remove the fee on Temu and Shein parcels, before the Chinese will accept any negotiations.

So Trump folded like one of his bankrupted casinos. At this stage any bluster coming from Trump should be treated as a fart blowing in the wind. Yeah the stench may linger to the 4 corners of the World but eventually it will subside. Be that as it may, I have a feeling this guy is playing the stock market and making some of his inner circle a huge sums of money. Insider trading anyone? Rinse and Repeat in the next 90 days. I don't expect anything less from a convicted felon and a grifter.

His good friend Xi Jinping is too busy planting trees as of this moment. Please call back when he is done with his second cup of tea.
Upon further thinking-I actually WANT Trump in the WH-as long as China is "armed/armoured" financially,politically/militarily,technologically socially etc the Orange Wrecking Ball Buffoon will destroy his own house and westoids'/vassals' devouring them in a frustrated humiliated rage at not getting the "Dragon Skin Pelt" he wants so much.I am sure China realizes this war has only begun-don't,don't let down our guard.:):):)

Trump hasn't quite turned US market into a casino yet, and people still believe he's just backing off a bit. :)

But he hasn't made a deal yet and we have around 70 countries.

Looks like some US delegation is arriving in Shanghai. Make sure they don't get anywhere near duty-free shops.


Position of strength!

As I mentioned in the Economics thread, my guess is this is a followup to last week's MMCA meeting in Shanghai. Timing is too fast for tariffs; official visits don't get arranged overnight.

The tariffs on China are probably going to stay no matter what. You can have a Democrat be President next election cycle and they’ll keep Trump’s tariffs just like Biden did. So all this talk about China insulating itself for Trump 2.0 better have included no economic relations to the least.

Like I’ve said before, the Western mindset needs to be in control of everything so don’t believe the US can think they can act like China doesn’t exist. No it exists and they need to control China because it exists. Think about North Korea where Americans were laughing that they were the most backward and isolated country in the world… and yet North Korea so occupied space in their brains rent free even before they got nukes. That’s how much Westerners need to be literally in control of everything. The place where they wish China to be will be far worst in their nightmares than North Korea. It will be the itch they can’t scratch that drive them insane. And that’s the worst case scenario short of nuclear war.

The big one that knots their undies in a bunch is China just existing proves Christianity is a lie. The only way they can correct that is taking over China and rewriting Chinese history. They can't do anything about it without bothering with the Chinese. So don't worry that the US will lead the world in leaving China behind.
