You're right. Without Chinese competition we would have succumbed to the dictates of USA. Giving them more power to bully any country which doesn't follow their interests.
Thanks you China that we now have options available.
China says nothing, but actions
America can only bark like that dog all the time.😂😂😂
I said yesterday China has been very quiet but wait for it 👍
it's completely opposite of India. India do nothing, but barking like average dog on UA-cam 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In 2016, Trump started countering China's taxes and tariffs by announcing he'd start evening it out and Chiense everywhere got big sick grins across smirking faces, almost 'sexual' grinning about how 'Trump will be Punished'.
Never happened. Trump added more.
Chinese announced that the only reason America wasn't punished was because Chinese were a superior race who chose not to cause too much trouble.
- At the same times, Trump announced he'd be sending aircraft carriers and warships through Xi's claim to the South China Sea. Chinese smirked in glee at how America would be punished.
US drove by giving the 'eff you' finger to Chinese bases.
Literally, American pilots did 'fly bys' of Chinese who could see them actually giving them the 'eff you finger' from their cockpits.
Never once. Never once a 'punishment' came.
Then China set a 'Red Line'.. if the USA DARES to sell Taiwan a billion in military equipment then America will see the full iron fist of China.
The USA ilterally dropped off 4X the amount of weapons and sold Taiwan twice as many more.
No 'punishment' ever came.
If the USA dares to give Japan missiles to load those islands it will be considered an act or war that Xi wiill PUNISH.
Never happened. The USA just dropped off another 100 anti-China missiles on southern Japanese islands.
No punishment occurred.
If the USA dares to support Hong Kong they will feel the punishement of China.
Nope. Never happened. No 'punishments'.
If the USA dares to add more tariffs there will be strong punishments...
None.
Doesn't happen.
Last month China conceded on repatriating the thousands of Chinese deported from the USA. They agreed to take them back.
Was that the iron-fisted punishment?
I applaud the journalist for emphasising the ADDITIONAL. So many news reporters just say 10%, it shows lack of self respect
Hi, Canada here. Trump will remove the extra 10% (most Canadian news outlets reported it correct- as an additional 10%). However, I propose that a special tax be imposed on critical minerals that both China and Canada possess in their natural resources. Some of these critical minerals cannot be found anywhere else; for example, niobium is only found in Canada and Brazil. This mineral oxidizes very slowly in the atmosphere, making it essential for use in health care, jet engines and aerospace applications. No one really knows when Trump will leave office.
@ O Canada, all you have to do is probably just sell $55bn’s worth of oil and gas to China and Europe, instead of the US. Then your trade balance vs the US will go from $50bn trade surplus, to $5bn trade deficit. Trump’s brain doesn’t retain the information that US buys from Canada, turns around, and sell refined oil product and LNG to other countries, at higher prices. So you just have to show him a small trade deficit (surplus for the US)-see how the UK is avoiding this cat fight. Efficiency of world economy be damned
Only country with guts , rather that begging a 30day delay
lol what? Mexico/Canada had retaliatory responses as well ready to be put in place.
Canada was retaliating immediately after these threats were made and the USA backed off. China took longer
Mexicans are never on time...lol
Canada immediately responded with 155 billion in tariffs. If anything, Trump caved.

@@fadumoali7402 It's precisely why Trump targeted smaller, weaker countries first. Give America a string of easy wins to cushion the inevitable blow of hitting the Chinese and Russian walls of reality. Gotta hand it to him, a masterclass in optics management.
The U.S. defeated the Japanese in WW2 who occupied parts of China under a brutal regime.The U.S. sent volunteers in the form of the Flying Tigers to combat the occupiers and used the Burma Road to transport humanitarian good's and war materials to China.
China has huge domestic savings, much lower debt than US, huge pool of educated engineers, huge stockpile of food and energy, so many friends including Russia, SE Asia and trade surplus. China will not take US bullying lying down. China has lots of rare earths resources, can easily accelerate BRICS+ payment system, can dump more treasuries. Chinese are more united than Americans. China is not worried.

They operate on a rational nonemotional level. First submitting a lawsuit got the wto, then after careful measurement, these counter tariffs.

Well this is where the rubber meets the road. China's human rights record--need I enumerate the list--& the massive involvement the central government can have in corporations, makes consumers outside China extremely wary.
I'm glad to see China stand up to Trump tho. I'm Canadian--we have to stand up to this bully.

The absurdity is the amount of products from China that will earn the US government money from virtual no work on the US part. It is again exploitation of other country’s hard labor that the US seeks to earn an unearned share of the profits from
US only has processed food. US will eat only plastic if other countries stop exporting.
Yes, meat dairy and vegetables do not exist in America.
California is one of the largest agricultural economies in the world, I live in idabo and buy fruits dairy and meat from local ranchers and farmers. I'm not sure if you are just referring to the metropolitan areas which your statement would be true.

@@cjmeddings3205
America is the most obese high-income nation in the world.
Almost 60% of the average Americans diet is ultra-processed food--that's the highest rate of UPF consumption in the world.
And California EXPORTS almost half its agricultural production to nations outside the US.
So does Idaho. About half of Idaho's ag production is exported. Top two destinations: Canada & Mexico, both of whom got slapped with tariffs by Trump.
Well done on putting thought & effort into your personal consumption, but it's just fact that the American food supply & consumers have been captured by American corporations selling cheap ultra-processed food.
@@tothelighthouse9843 No, the USA has a massive array of food from the ultra-healthy, raw foods, cheap foods and all the fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and dairy anyone can ever choose from.

Tariffs are taxes on the consumer. Let's call a spade a spade.
... that supress Chinese production
@@Andykibe254and Americans eat grass
@@Andykibe254 It doesn't suppress the Chinese. They can always sell to other markets or ship to somewhere else to be "reprocessed". Tariffs are meant to incentivise looking towards local sources, provided such sources exist. Otherwise, it is just gonna make everything go up.
@@Andykibe254 US will likely fold in a day
But you, as the government, can't just increase tax openly on the people... 😉

Seriously??? I am dead set against what Trump is doing but come on mate China ain’t innocent either 🤷🏻♂️ Not a popular comment but I true!!!
Hey Canada, stop complaining about the U.S. imposing a 25% tariff-take this as a blessing. This is an opportunity for us to diversify our business with other countries like China, India, Europe, Asia, and Africa instead of relying too much on the U.S.
Yes, having the U.S. as a major trading partner makes things easier, but if they choose to change the rules, so what? That’s not the end of the world. We just need to work harder and stand on our own feet. There may be some hardships in the first few years, but that’s part of the process.
As Canadians, we shouldn’t sit around feeling bullied or waiting for things to go back to the way they were. We are friends, partners, and allies with the U.S., but if they think we are taking advantage, we must explore other options. China, India, and other major economies are ready to do business, and Canada has some of the world’s richest natural resources.
Yes, there may be temporary difficulties, but we need to prepare our children for these challenges. Canada didn’t become one of the world's strongest economies overnight-our forefathers worked hard for over a century to build this country. Now, it’s our turn to do the same.
Well said! We need more resiliance--diversification--in our economy. In the short term we can focus on BUY CANADIAN, but we need long term plans & investments in infrastructure. Seamless movement of raw materials & products to both coasts.
China is like Songkoku. They have been trained for this in the last 6 years (since 2018). 😀
Wrong. China has been training for 200+ years now against the Anglo saxon empire and her allies' collective economic and military oppression.
No way can china stand in tariff war against us dollar and us

Well-done china
As a working class, thank you China for making everyday goods affordable. I know the working class is a sacrifice our government is willing to make.
Go China ! From Canada .
That tariff is just the 10% added to the import cost... add on landed transport, possible storage, or distribution, perhaps manufacturing, then some marketing & packaging, and finally retailing or online delivery... That little 10% can and sometimes will turn a $100 purchase into more than a $300 purchase. Just say'n... and our beloved Restaurants, they have to mark their costs up on average by $400-$800%
If ccp govt don't, natually public will question on national interest too. Same for affected nations?
An eye for an eye... Gone are they days when the US used to walk around beatings its chest...It's time for Africa to also rethink its position and contribution to to the global economy.
So, in other words, there is now a 20% tax on these items.
Unlike Canada & Mexico.. China has leverage .. alot of leverage . The Chinese aren't stupid ❌ & they've flexibilities.. numerous compared to both Mexico & Canada.. the tariffs are extra taxes pushed to the end consumers.. the Chinese will rather purchase Russia LNG & coal instead of paying more for something they can get from either their rich resource neighbor Russia or from other vendors & at their own price...the biggest losers will be the American vendors because China has the biggest market with a middle class of 300m people & growing .. plus consistent trade surplus .. something the west hasn't had since the Ukraine war...
How dare they?!

"Retaliation" is the WRONG adjective. They're not doing it for revenge.
Their doing it as a balanced response, which is not retaliation.
No wonder you guys ended us pathetic journalists, you're too uneducated to be successful writers.
America and Canada should be able to get 90% of these products. Oil especially strong in Texas through to Alaska. 🇺🇸
What do you mean 'and Canada'? We're the people your president tries to mock & bully now. He's made it clear there's no 'and Canada' anymore.
Those Chinese tariffs aren't on 'and Canada'. They're only on the US. We in Canada will get our products from China at the usual price. And you can bet Canadians have woken up to realize our oil & natural gas products, metals, lumber etc need to start flowing east & west across the oceans rather than south to the nation we used to call friend. Trump betrayed us Canadians, but he also betrayed Americans by treating your closest ally like dirt.

You can't exist in isolation; you need others to survive & grow. You can't produce, manufacture, & consume everything; no country is that self-sufficient due to natural factors. Conscientiousness & intelligence are critical when choosing our leaders; but we like parties, colours & choosing unnecessary sides. Anyway, the suffering continues 'cause we never learn.

Let's see her without her makeup.
It won’t impact the trade surplus or deficit; it will just make things more expensive for people.
The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with China is approximately $367.4 billion. China imposing tariffs is actually good to reduce that imbalance - talk about spiting themselves.
Trump only put 10% tariff on China, top of 25% so he has room to raise it later during negotiation. China knows and raised to 10-15% before Trump raise. This might take few years with China.
He can only be the loser with China.😊

China is a territorial bully. When it comes to sea borders

بہت عمدہ چینل۔
We’re really struggling with inflation, makes sense to purposefully add more to it…
De-dollarization is going to be turbo charged now. So will de-treasury paperalized as well. Interest rates on treasury papers just kicked up a couple of knotches. That's bad news that Mr Trump didn't quite understand about this whole situation.
Now is the time for China to negotiate and strengthen free trade agreements with Canada and Mexico if they haven't already. China should do that with all of our allies who Trump is threatening.

If the last tariff works, why US need another one?
I actually agree with the Chinese tariffs.
However Canada and Mexico tariffs are pointless.
Chinese new year gifts for the trump administration. As for Americans they have started TEARSRIFTS amongst themselves. Well done Mr Trump. 😂
May I just say what a pleasure this fact & data laden report is.
US coverage of these latest tariff wars are very light on facts or explanations. They tend to stick to the soap opera "What's Trump going to do next?!" format
They take a tiny amount of US goods anyway.
They are the third largest importer of US goods behind Canada and Mexico, both of whom have already had tariffs aimed at them and responded albeit on hold. The three combined are 40% of US goods exports, China about 7.5% with a fair amount agricultural goods.
I see the EU, 17% of US goods exports, are apparently definitely getting more tariffs levelled on them too. They'll almost certainly retaliate.
The tariffs on US goods aren't ideal. That it is increasingly leading to those countries investing in reducing their dependency on US services should be a far bigger concern.
Keep pushing your allies around they'll eventually take the hint. Without them suddenly your huge national debt and deficit get treated like everyone else's as you don't have the soft power to claim the world's reserve currency.
Still if the nation is so desperate to force its own decline nothing the rest of us can do but hold on and hope we don't get dragged down.
Good choice the electors of Make America Great Again 🤫
