US President Donald Trump keeps talking about the “billions and trillions of dollars” that countries such as China will be paying his government in tariffs he imposes. In this monologue, Post managing editor for content, Yonden Lhatoo, explains why it does not work like that at all.

Why are people saying this is Chinese propaganda it’s literally basic economics
It’s called negotiating. Ever heard of a bluff?
Became ironically, it's the very place that the tariffs is applied to who is trying to misrepresent and mislead.
@@DonCorleone4 Telling business owners to come to the us to benefit them instead of your own country? No, and also he's already signed in on tariffs, its gonna happen. Vote for a clown, your country becomes a circus.
@@DonCorleone4 Didn't Trump negotiate a trade deal with Canada in his first term? Are you saying he has to use tariffs as a bluff to negotiate against a deal he made, thereby implying that Trump negotiated terribly in the first place?
I'm glad more countries aren't willing to let Trump bully them around though. It's nice seeing more non-Americans consumers starting to boycott US products. Come join us!
@@DonCorleone4Not a Bluff he literally signed an executive order for it
Bro roasted whole America at the end😅

@@peopleschoice9920 Yeah. Most Muricans should write proper English too.

🤣😂 write your language, help your ppl , fix your life and mental . Maybe you won’t be so hungry 😩
@@Akhoon_faheem wrong, he's trying to speak in their language, since MAGA has no clue what Tariffs is and thought china would pay for it.

@@jerrychandra9901Don't hold your breath. The world is counting on America being severely off the rails by way of Trump's destructive, psychotic and irrational actions for only the next 4 years. Once he and his gang of wacko lackeys make America an even worse place to live, and the US population suffers terribly under his lack of sane leadership, I suspect sanity will once again find its way into the Oval Office and healthy trade relations will be restored.
The sad part is that the taxes will in fact be paid. It's just by the American people, and as a result the economy.
You are still overestimating the MAGA crowd's capability of understanding ANYTHING

@@escoosy1763 not to mention youtube deleting comments that help inform this situation.
@@escoosy1763or hiding it on purpose
No. The problem is you are ignorant. This video literally is an idiots guide to terriffs. If china was the only other country willing to sell us these products then yes. We would theoretically have to pay the tarriffs ourselves as consumers. But in truth china isn't the only country willing to sell to the US. Let's say you go to Walmart before the tarriffs for a bicycle. The chinese bicycle is the cheapest at $100 and other bikes are a couple dollars more. If you add a 25% tarriff the chinese bike becomes more expensive and nobody buys from them anymore and instead gets the other bikes made in the US or elsewhere. THAT is why china made this video..not because they care about you and don't want to see you pay more. But because they are scared their cheap junk will be replaced because it will be forced to become expensive junk.
China doesn’t pay the tariffs, Americans do.
shh!!! don't give away the secret. let them learn the hard way
it's likely that american made goods will become even more expensive, as some materials are shipped for them.
Most MAGA thinks China will pay the tariffs for them 😂
if this is true, then why is China economy almost dead from just 30%
why do nations get upset by being threatened by it?
truth is this video is bs, and China would suffer from it. so use some common sense when watching videos with fake news and propaganda in them.
besides it's not up to the common people anymore convincing dumb people without power is pointless but that is all China the ccp can do now and days .
Lol😂, those tariffs is gonna make it expensive, Americans will look for alternatives....😐😐😐

Don't wanna take back your immigrants? -25% tariff!
Don't wanna move manufacturing out of your own country into ours? -25% tariff!
Don't wanna spend more on your border? -25% tariff!"
"But Mr. President, doesn't that just mean that American retailers will have to pay more for imports?"
".........25% tariff"
MAGA: oh daddy deal leader Trump. Yes daddy, please slap me with more Tariffs.
He make it sound as if the USA is the only economy in the world to sell things into.
It means that the price for non-American goods will grow and also cause the request for them to shrink so that more people buy American goods.
Or the American manufacturers will be able to better compete with them.
@Hardcore_Remixer yes but these people just hate on trump, if kamala did it they will say what a genius woman you go gurl
@Hardcore_RemixerEVERYTHING you use in your daily life comes from China in one way or another. You can't just substitute American products for Chinese products because a lot of the stuff you use daily isn't even made in the US. If companies start making those same products in the US, the price you'll pay for them will be astronomically higher because American workers won't work in sweat shops under brutal working conditions for less than minimum wage.
You can explain it 1,000 times and MAGA won’t learn a thing. When the prices rise they’ll blame Joe Biden 😂
Also the MAGA Bunch will blame Obama and DEI.
The left is already blaming trump for Biden killing of chickens. 🤣🤣🤣 jeez you realize there are idiots on both sides of the aisle 🤣🤣

What portion of those companies future valuation is based the need to access tariff-free, global markets? Once you answer those questions, then we can have a meaningful conversation
@ kaddie tries to steer the conversation away from the erroneous idea that tariffs automatically cause inflation.

And fails.
@ Ah, so you means that you don’t know those things and are, therefore, as intentionally ignorant and irresponsible as Trump and his oligarch cronies. Got it. For the record, tarrifs aren’t always bad, but they require intelligent planning.
“There have been historical instances where tariffs contributed positively to a country's long-term economic development, though their success often depended on strategic implementation and broader industrial policies.” - DeepSeek
The problem is the US has a bunch of unqualified morons at the helm whose only talents are greed and grifting. Case in point, DOGE and its plans. The US is now paying more in interest on its national debt than it is to its balance.
“As I’ve written previously, the main culprit of soaring deficits is interest, which has overtaken military costs, running at over $1 trillion annually. David Rosenberg, eponym of Rosenberg Research, further pointed out that Medicare and Social Security alone account for 38% of total spending. The supposed $2 trillion in spending cuts set by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, has targeted U.S. foreign aid (less than 1% of the budget) and high administrative costs of healthcare (caused by private insurance bureaucracy, not the government), he added in a client note on Friday.” Jan 31, 2025

The second group, who don't understand how tariffs work and believe that tariffs will be paid by the exporting country.
The third group, who understand how tariffs work, but think/hope that Trump will be able to make exporting countries pay tariffs, even with military force if necessary.

"Come make your product in America" he's basically saying I want to make America into China and become a production powerhouse and paying Americans as cheap as China
To be honest, I really don't think he can. The world financial and currency system is based on the US dollars. For that reason, the USD will be higher than the Chinese Yuan and most other nations. For that, the production cost will almost always be much higher in the US. 10%, is not enough, 20% is not enough, 30% is not enough, maybe he can try a 50% tariff next year against China, but at the same time he needs to develop America's own product chains which will cost billions and billions of dollars, and it will likely take more than 4 years. The only chance I think he has is to shop from other developing nations instead of China, but that won't help US manufacturers. And the US citizens will still suffer from high inflation.

It is now 01FEB25, and I just listened to CNN TV news, and the host brought in an "expert" on tariffs. This guy all but provided a very simple explanation. By the time he finished ...the message had been all but lost.
So the news host summarized by saying that it would be the American consumer then, that would end up paying the tariffs ....which the host, once again, bounced around on the response.
In general terms, I would NOT be surprised if half Americans, the MAGA half, still think that the exporting country pays these tariffs.......because these MAGAs are truly low on their education level.
.
I graduated class of 1984, and I was taught woefully little about how the government even works. Thank goodness for boy scouts that had required merit badges about citizenship. in order to be an eagle scout, I had to know civics well. the American public isn't smart enough to elect people intelligently. if you don't know what a tariff is, you probably need to leave voting to people who know how government works
The point is to drive companies to do business domestically, refrain from childish insults it is only making you look immature.
Education level...?

@@mikeangtao125 You can’t be serious 😂 That is not what happens lol. Take Bush’s 2002 steel tariffs - saved some steel jobs in the U.S., but destroyed many downstream industries that rely on that steel (like automotive) due to the increased cost. This resulted in increased prices for American consumers & companies freezing hiring or moving it offshore to save money. They ended up rolling those back because of how awful it was… Then Trump’s trade war with China in 2018. Economist agree, those hurt America. Over and over, the accompanying costs, retaliation, higher prices for consumers and businesses, supply chain disruptions, and political blowback have outweighed the benefits.

I’m Canadian and this is the first video I’ve seen out of chinese news and I LOVE IT! You guys rock ❤
You not Canadian. You an idiot. China won’t spare you if they ever get aggressive or if you move under their regime. The Chinese communist party is NOT your friend.
They k-pop don't they?

Happy Chinese New Year Yonden, your takes are always 🔥
His takes are coping though:
2017 China gdp: $12,31 trillion
2017 USA gdp: $19,61 trillion
2024 China gdp: $18,2 trillion
2024 USA gdp: $29,1 trillion
Today's China didnt even beat 2017 America. Also, look at the birth rates. China hasnt developed yet and already has extremely low birth numbers. Even lower than Japan. Which is a incredible achievement.
@@azumishimizu1880 What does GDP has to do with the facts of the statement Yonden is making?
Man, the SC Morning Post really upped their game the past years
Ikr? 😂
yeah the chinese government is funding them more!
Upping their game = becoming a state media mouthpiece for an authoritarian’s regime!
Once upon a time, the SCMP could actually be complimentary AND critical of both the local and mainland governments. Now it’s straight-up kowtowing as we see here (although props for Lhatoo’s cleverly-worded understatement near the end acknowledging that the Chinese will pay China’s retaliatory tariffs. 😂
Because it's a Hong kong based news outlet. Ever since the mainland took over, they have slowly infiltrated all their media outlets. That guy is from mainland China not even from HK. They delete comments that exposes the fact that SCMP is no longer independent but funded by the CCP.
@@Coolestmoviesas an American who is very prideful and wants to be the strongest country trump and his tariffs are not going to make us stronger. And i also dont like the democrats but I agree with them more than trumpers. If you disagree then too bad hehe freedom of speech
Imagine Taxing CHINA, who makes almost everything for us in the US. We're in for a bad 4 years.
Worse than the last 4? Delusional times 10
F China and the companies that shipped jobs out 😂 we need 100% tariffs or higher and Chinese and Mexican labor isnt even that cheap what make it more profitable is less tax and no environmental checks and balances
Imagine being the greatest country ever & still literally making another ideologically different & authoritarian country a behemoth manufacturer that makes everything for world, while India, a democracy was just beside it. 😂
As an Indian, don't ever depend upon China. They know how to keep other countries in check by not allowing supply
That’s the problem and that’s the point of tariffs in the first place. To strengthen American manufacturing. Duh. sometimes it’s a penalty tho. Man you’re dumb. China doesn’t make the female hormones that Kamala Harris promised you😂
So clear, and yet more than 50% of Americans will still not understand this. That’s how ‘ smart ‘ they are
I'm no expert but I'm guessing domestic production of food and petroleum products in the USA won't be able to cover demand in the short term so American's are just going to be paying more for everything. So much for cheaper eggs.
The “Father of Capitalism” would not approve of forcibly creating captive consumers.
of course not, we don't produce a lot of what we use and we can't so everything will get more expensive
EXACTLY! This isn't a fix for the American economy, it's a robbery.
No and it will be expensive even they cover it that's what trump want to do to bring in all manufacturing inside USA but he is deporting those people who can work on low wages 😂
Yes, short term. Long term they will expand production and make US less dependant on imports.
Such a clever creative way to conclude!
Any common man who really takes buddy seriously as he says "trillions and trillions of dollars" is INSANE.
Why? Don't tell them. I was having fun with it. 😂😂
I am a kid and trump is literally giving us more taxes lol 😂
It's crazy how a kid can easily understand this concept compared to sooo many adults who barely know what a tariff is yet voted for Trump
Keep that wits up my guy. To the rest of the world, its becoming stereotypical to associate americans to being uneducated and dumb. Be one of the outliers and carve your own path.
I'm sorry most adults in your country are dumber than you, you deserve better
@@cranburrey because a kid is less likely to have encountered contradicting information and misinformation. No cognitive dissonance needs to be fought through with mental gymnastics to explain why things don't make sense.
Well said, but educating MAGA is like squeezing water from stone.
Who’s uneducated?
MAGA or MIGA??
As an African American, what he says is true down to the wire and I've been saying to other Americans that when it comes to Tariffs, the country exporting goods doesn't pay but rather the one importing.
Common sense is quite rare things these days in america it seems
Nah it's absent😂
There's only one person in America that has common sense... ME!!! I want to get out
sounds like you have no idea what tarrifs are.
China would not be what it is today if the Americans haven't come up with free trade and outsourcing large part of manufacturing to china. America made the monkeys from Chinese forests build large scale industries, IT manufacturing etc. Now those monkeys are now educated and started dominating their teachers. It's like the AI you built to make your life easier now dominating and becoming a threat to you.
@@jambogamer-je2nf be so kind to explain them then mr import/export veteran
If Trump managed to fix US economy with this, I'll never trust economists again.
😂
Yeah sure dozen eggs are up to 12 dollars in a single week under Trump. 2 weeks ago, they were around 6 dollars. 50 percent jump. Staggering. Yeah Trump will fix the US economy alright by making you all pay 40 bucks for eggs and 100 bucks for coffee by Summer!
*You forgot to put "miraculously".*
I'm from the future. It gets so much worse. Your country is the laughing stock of the world and Greenland is thinking about taking it over.
It just will not happen It's simple 1+1=2 trump can't turn it to 3
Given how many times he's gone bankrupt, I'm surprised he even knows the word "tariff" to begin with
I don't think he knows what it means anyways
Calling Trump supporters idiots is an insult to idiots
I don't care about anything but that last hat move was gangsta 🤣
Gansta since it's produced in california and he is lying?
Kids, this is what happens when education is used to seek profit, not for the future of the country.
Where’d you get your education😂
Manufacturing in USA! Endless permits, endless certifications, labor unions, insurance for everything, high handling cost, high energy cost, low productivity yet expensive labor, excessive labor benefits and you'll still need to import bulk of your raw materials.
Absolutely never.
Remember guys, this is China speaking...

Very clear and well said, Sir.
This video won't make it to any trump supporters
You're wrong. im a trump supporter but am watching what these tariffs will do. time will tell.
@@donnathiede2639 time has already told this tale many times. enjoy your increased prices
@@donnathiede2639Look what they already did, Mexico sending 10,000 national guard troops to it's northern border to stop the tariffs. It's almost like they worked.
I feel like Trump overestimates amount of companies willing to jump start a long and costly process of building factories in USA because of a threat of tariffs of the current president
Yup, it cost alot more... Or you could just wait for 4 years till the tariff lifted.
It would be funnier you take 4 years to build a factory then tariff lifted, lol
@danielhariri Precisely. The risk makes it not worth it
Yup and the North American Agreement is still there. It's not been formally cancelled...which there is a process. Who is going to invest Billions when Donald could change his mind tomorrow, next year, or when the next President takes power and instantly we're back to the NAA trade environment. I doubt any CEO will commit until the situation becomes clearer.
Huge supporter of trump but ima have to agree with this so called “propagandist” guy. Dude just educated some of us Americans here with simple basic english💀
I am an American. I apologize for my country. It is a time of deep shame for many of us. And, I fear, there is only more shame coming.
We see you 🙏🫂. I'm sorry you have to share a country with those idiots
Apologize for being a kamala voter instead.
@@Sm0keddhanyfound one. You’re a joke buddy.

Also, the more I think about it, the better for Canada and Mexico economically. If the US becomes a walled tariff Garden, then all their raw materials for manufacturing will become significantly more expensive and their products become less competitive world wide. Yes, US companies certainly want to have the US market to themselves, but they'll lose the bigger world wide market. Ideally, to get around this, they would setup branch plants in Canada and Mexico. I see much more investment in Canada and Mexico than US with tariffs.
He didn’t just forget the 20th century was over. He, apparently, now also forgot the 19th century was over.
Basic economics.
Americans including trump should chatgpt or deepseek what tarrifs are.

Ha! Internet comment of the week.
The point isn’t what they are it’s how it turns out. It’s kind of a gamble but Americans need to be in board and not pay the increase so the companies just stop importing from them. Anyway he’s won the first gamble. Mexico just gave in…
"Now I finally understand, thanks for this video"

High tariffs will make it too expensive to import products into the United States. This will cause shortages. American companies will raise their prices. American billionaires will get richer. American consumers will get poorer.
That's what it's all about. Steal from the poor and give to the rich. A.K.A trickle down economics.
And as of 2/3/25 it’s worked against Mexico😮
Of course it COULD happen that way but it will be the fault of the consumer
The biggest roast towards trump… was his own hat! Lol
It's ironic since the official hats are entirely produced in california
< I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for six months to raise about $30k to start investing with Tracy Britt Cool. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here
How can i reach this Tracy Britt Cool Consulting, if you don't mind me asking? I've known her by her reputation at Berkshire Hathaway
Well her name is 'Tracy Britt Cool Consulting'. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
Tracy Britt Cool Consulting has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
Honestly I can attest to her remarkable expertise! My investment journey began with a modest $103,000, but under her guidance, it skyrocketed to $182,500 in just few years
As a republican, I want less government involvement. Now the costs will be passed to us the consumers, and tariffs go to the government to waste 🤦🏻

I was not expecting to see the SCMP to drop this headline. I love it 😂
Nicely explained as a Canadian, appreciate your frustration with Trump
So if your only market is the United States the tariffs will benefit you, however if you sell your products all over the world the tariffs will harm you. Most corporations are global not local. This is big fail as I am now removing my operations from the US and concentrating them in Canada to promote my business worldwide.
This. If I was an American furniture manufacturer. Moving to Canada might be a great option. Canada has the wood, but you will need to determine the access to fabrics and leather. So for example. factory in Alberta or BC would provide the wood, the leather from Alberta and near the coast so if you need inexpensive fabric from Asia it's easily shipped. Canada already has a well established furniture making business so the skills should also be there.
Love from Canada 🇨🇦 I love my Chinese suppliers, we talk a lot. They always say, hi friend. China is amazing and I’m sorry this is happening! I really hope Canada 🇨🇦 will stand up to Trump even if he threatened with 100% tariff! Yes it will hurt us no matter what we should not let him bully us. We will stand strong together as a country. Canadians are the definition of, “don’t take my kindness for a weakness”
Anyone who watches the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" sees the economics class teacher's lesson, that by imposing tariffs, the Smoot-Hawley Act lead to the Great Depression.
I suspect that any American importer who gives a sizable "donation" to Trump will magically find out he will be exempt from a tariff.
Keep getting your facts from movies😂

There ain’t no one else in the world like President Xi. He is in a league of his own, the best ever president in modern memory, you only have to look at what China has accomplished over the last 3 decades! Trump isn’t even worth Xi’s shoes, he isn’t even an inch of man Xi is
This is ageing terribly, and it's only been 5 days since
how so?
@@gamingwithowen2707 Trump has been using some tariffs as negotiations to get other countries to meet with our demands. Threatening tariffs on our neighboring countries if they dont help with the border which mexico agreed so far to my knowledge. Threatening tariffs on colombia if they dont take back their "illegal alien" citizens which has worked. I think Trumps plan is to get everyone to respect America again.
how so?
Excellent, consumer products will be cheaper in the EU. Thanks Donald.
The trump hat joke had me dying lol
Except it's a lie, misinformation. The hats are produced entirely in california.
But it's true. So much of that sort of stuff is made in China. You gonna pay $50 for a trucker hat?
Those companies including american companies, always looking for countries with cheap minimum wage 😅
These tariffs are not tariffs. They are across-the-board, unfocused, and without a specific purpose. In effect, an economic attack designed to hurt other economies. In addition, why is everyone talking about American companies or China companies or Canadian companies? We live in a global economy which is predominantly a free market. Trump's tariffs with apply to American companies operating in China. Chinese companies in the US will also pay import tariffs, American oil companies operating in Canada will see the price of their oil go up in America where it is refined. Everybody is going to suffer from tariffs.
It isn't a bazooka, but a Javelin missile... only $197k a shot. Besides that, you got it right.
