“The worst part of this whole thing is that I don’t get to be against those Asians anymore!!! Where’s my american exceptionalism?!”
“Freaking Vance, even I could find a ton of bad things to say about China!!”
Say the word!!!
“Ackchually, China is about to collapse :smuglord: ghost metro stops! USSR shortages!!!”
God I fucking hate libs.
I don’t think they understand how trade between the US and China works if they think China can’t deal without US imports without going into scarcity better than the reverse.
Also, China hasn’t levied tariffs on every other country. The US has.
Yeah, China will just trade with the rest of Asia, Africa, Mexico, Central America, South America, Canada, Europe and Australia. America is a big market but it’s not the only game in town. China kind of is.
Mexico is being bullied to reduce trade with China, and it’s understandable to be working to a certain degree
Yeah honestly Sheinbaum and the Morena party in general are doing fucking amazing for their situation
I was curious so I briefly looked it up, if I remember right, China only imports like 7 percent of its total imports from the USA. It was comparable to South Korea. They can weather this storm far better than the US.
The main thing that’s gonna sting for your average Chinese citizen is increased food costs, sonce the US supplies China with a lot of soy and wheat. But they have also been taking steps for this exact situation since this all played out at a smaller scale 7 years ago.
China will just increase trade with Brazil if materially feasible for them. Brazilian agriculture, especially Soy and Corn are already fucking huge for Chinese animal husbandry. I don’t think even another Bolsonaro could prevent an increase in this trade with the Brazilian agricultural lobby being as influential as it is.
About the last paragraph, many non-US-vassals countries fear chinese products, now not going to burgerland and in a hurry, might dump their markets.
It’s a pain in the ass for everyone in the short term, with potential weird ripple effects
