How Trump outsmarted China

[TheMan]

You had posters in here convince themselves that China didn’t care about the tariffs and wouldn’t talk to us about a deal.

Can't speak for anyone else but I never said China didn't care, my whole argument was that China was in a better position to come out on top in a US vs China trade war, especially since Trump stupidly imposed heavy tariffs on the rest of the world, except Russia of course. Instead of having Japan, S Korea, Mexico, Canada, Germany and other big US trading partners present a united front vs China, Trump pisses them off and they strike new trade deals with the Chinese instead.

The Art Of The Deal I guess

The white man has been outsmarting Chyna since the days of Marco Polo.

This is you on the first page

China upped the ante matching Trump's 125% tariffs on US goods...they don't GAF.

Of course 19-87 IQ Lakers gonna post Fox News and some goofball MAGA cultist as his sources Meanwhile everyone else sees that China is the real winner in this idiotic trade war vs the world Trump started. Dude is talking about bombing Yemen, Mexico, Iran and taking Gaza, Canada, Greenland and Panama. The US still thinking the world looks at China as a threat though

Time and time again, I'm proved to be right about something while you end up looking foolish in the end.

He can't admit he was wrong despite probably realizing it at some level deep down because in his simple mind that's "losing" rather than a sign of maturity. Sad.

Look who was wrong in the end. Trump haters were popping champagne bottles before the game was even over. Sad.

Lol, is English your first language? They DGAF about going toe to toe with the US, goofy hence the "they upped the ante" comment right before...

Lol, right.

BTW, China's exports have gone up compared to last year, you totally ignored that. And another thing, China hasn't even made any significant concessions and Trump is slashing the tariffs by 115%.

Did you miss how China is allowing the US into its market as a part of the trade deal?

No way around it, Trump won.

But keep watching fake news propaganda as a way to cope.

China's exports have generally seen growth in the rest of the world, despite some fluctuations and specific trade challenges. In April 2025, China's overall exports rose by 8.1% year-on-year. This growth was driven by increased exports to certain regions and countries, including Southeast Asia, Latin America, and India. However, exports to the U.S. experienced a decline in April.

Key Factors:

Diversification of Export Destinations:

China has been diversifying its export destinations, particularly to countries within the "Belt and Road Initiative" and Southeast Asia.

Trade War Impact:

While exports to the U.S. were affected by tariffs, other markets helped offset the decline.
Pre-Tariff Rushing:

Some exporters rushed to ship goods before higher tariffs took effect, leading to increased exports in some months.

Strong Growth in Specific Sectors:

Some product categories, such as semiconductors, experienced significant export growth.
Domestic Economic Factors:

China's domestic economy, particularly the housing market, has also influenced export patterns, with the government relying more on exports to offset the economic downturn.
Specific Examples:

Southeast Asia:

Exports to Southeast Asian countries saw significant growth, with Vietnam and other countries experiencing high year-on-year increases.

Latin America:

Exports to Latin America also experienced growth, contributing to the overall export increase.

India:
Shipments to India increased significantly, indicating a rising trend in China's exports to that country.

U.S.:

Exports to the U.S. fell in April, largely due to new tariffs.

Lol, the Chinese market was already open to US exports, the hell you talking about?

[1987_Lakers]

"This election is close"

"Trump is not winning Michigan"

"China has the upper hand in trade talks, they don't care about tariffs"

The Man, I think it's time to cancel the subscription to whatever news you watch.


We win again fam!

Part of the agreement of this trade talk is that they would open its market fully to the US. Keep up.

But it's always been open.

So no significant concessions
