Summary
Trump escalated his trade war with China by raising tariffs to 125%, even as he dropped tariffs on other nations to ease recession fears.
China retaliated with 84% tariffs on U.S. goods, triggering a high-stakes standoff with both sides refusing to back down.
Experts warn the escalating tit-for-tat threatens global markets and diplomacy. Trump’s team calls China a “bad actor,” while Beijing frames the U.S. as a bully.
Each side believes time favors them, making de-escalation unlikely. Business leaders urge talks, but neither leader wants to appear weak.
our elections are a sham and there are a lot of disenfranchised voters that not allowed to vote here and the candidate that wins is always preselected
voters here take all the blame for the actions of our sold-out elections
Are you using the US or China as your “here?” Because I don’t think it’s quite that bad in the US, but I don’t think anyone blames the voters in China.
