This way, African nations can learn to be self sufficient and move up the value chain, just like what China has done. China would then move further up the value chain.

China is fostering Africa's development, similar to nurturing a seed until it flourishes, to help Africa establish robust economies that can purchase goods from China.

Anyone who studied the economic history development of the U.S. will KNOW that the U.S. economy grew during its Industrial Revolution due to the simultaneous expansion of its infrastructure in roads and rail, ports and hydro electricity dams - and then, it slowed down and stopped in the mid-20th century to rest on its laurels while focusing on foreign wars - with dire consequences as we now witness.

That’s the thing that pisses me off about the United Snakes! It not only bans Chinese companies, but it also forces all of its allies (puppets) to ban Chinese companies as well! For example, when the US banned Huawei it forced the UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, S Korea, Italy, and the rest of its vassal states to ban Huawei as well! In fact, all of these countries already had Huawei’s telecommunications lines and Internet system installed, but the US forced them to yank those systems all out, which cost those countries hundreds of billions of dollars in lost services and products that they had most already paid for! Now they all operate on slower 4G and 3G systems which hurts their businesses and citizens!
My response to your statement has been deleted by the so-called “freedom of speech” country because it exposes their lies! Everything about this evil empire it contradicts itself!
There's virtually no Chinese EVs in the US market right now. Any tariff imposed on them means "Don't bring your cars over. We're scared to compete with you!"
The largest automotive market outside of China is USA, and the second largest market is India. Chinese car companies have almost no business operations in these two countries, but in this situation, they surpassed South Korea in 2021, Germany in 2022, and Japan in 2023. Now, China has become the country with the largest number of car exports in the world.
If you ever visit a large Chinese city where majority of cars are electric, it's a sight to behold, the air is clean, the streets whisper quiet. It feels futuristic. Sadly for Americans, without affordable EV options, they will never experience this, they will watch on while rest of the world modernise and it's left behind.
@@Wvavy Our power-grid cannot handle a fully EV environment, our cell towers are actually 4G masquerading as 5G, there is not enough power stations built, the likes of Tesla relies heavily on the Chinese production chain to keep costs down despite it already being too expensive for most people, and to top it all off, we are not even remotely close to being independent from China when it comes to batteries. You have to look at the bigger picture.

@@Clapper74 It's not labor cost The real answer is, the US car makers prefer to stick to their age-old method of producing ICE vehicles. To them, sticking with tradition is much easier, and way less risky.
@@verypleasantguy China has the cheapest labour force and the US can’t compete with slave labour. Everyone in the US wants to make more and more and more. Drives costs up of everything.

Oh my God, your eyes are blue, so beautiful. Even if Americans can buy Chinese electric cars, I don't think the United States can maintain the charging piles for electric cars. The U.S. infrastructure is often damaged by its own citizens.
Good for thee. The US will continue to economically isolate itself from global market in the process, while the rest of the world will continue to open up to China. Just recently, the Indonesian Embassy for China just made an open briefing for Chinese media and stakeholders where they outline plan to further comprehensive cooperation over multisectoral fields, thus reaffirming Indonesia's commitment to continue the Jokowi's policy of opening up to China under the new president Prabowo in October. The US isn't going to earn the keen trust from the rest of Global South if it continues their reckless diplomatic strategy.

Ben, it is not "cheap". It should be "less expensive", "inexpensive" or "reasonable value/price". It is different. Believe me. It is not CCP, it is CPC. Get the drill? Use our language and terms.
You seem to think cheap = low cost low value. That is not the case. When a comparable electric car cost's 10,000€ vs 30,000€, it is cheap. Chinese EV are cheap in comparison to western EV. BUT they are ONLY CHEAP IN CHINA!! China isn't selling cheap EVs in western markets, it is taking enormous profits. Profit for a Chinese EV is 1,000€ in China, compared to 15,000€ in the West. to So as a consumer, it is better to tariff the product to support the local economy instead of sending enormous profits offshore.

@odinallfarther6038 Not true, China is strategic, and the US are clearly threatened by China on many fronts, including economically. They are growing into becoming the world leader in global influence, which will only strengthen diplomatic and trade relationships with the majority of nations across the world.

"The imposition of tariffs proves detrimental to the United States. For instance, if a car costs $10,000 without tariffs but surges to $20,000 with imposed tariffs, American-made vehicles will hover around the $20,000 mark. Consequently, this renders the US automotive industry less competitive on the global stage. Consequently, these tariffs pose a significant threat to the competitiveness of the US industry."

Anyone who studied the economic history development of the U.S. will KNOW that the U.S. economy grew during its Industrial Revolution due to the simultaneous expansion of its infrastructure in roads and rail, ports and hydro electricity dams - and then, it slowed down and stopped in the mid-20th century to rest on its laurels while focusing on foreign wars - with dire consequences as we now witness.
@@George-k6o9t That is the message RFK Jr has been trying to instill in people for the past year and the reason he wants to stop the forever wars and invest in infrastructure instead. It's one of the reasons he has my vote.
@@dao8805 For the sake of the United States and the rest of the world, let's hope and pray that more logical and sane minds like JFK jr will get into the Whitehouse. Far too many crazy "coots" from Hollywood actors to Reality TV "stars" to geriatrics ready for the "Old Folks Home" have been ruling the roost for far too long. None have been able to have a vision for the future of the nation and its people except try to "roll back the clock" to some by-gone horse and buggy era (just listening to some of Old Joe's speeches makes me, a 73-year old cringe because they carry so many nuances and words that comes from the days of the rotary dial telephone and telegraph and I wonder, what is there for the young generation ahead? What do they have to look forward towards?). I am not even an American, by the way, but I do fear for it's future - a nation that has so much potential and so much resources to actually do real good for the planet - reduced to dighting wars with peasants wearing sandals and carrying ancient firearms in 3rd world countries.
Guns and butter - you cannot have both in any country and its been a proven fact throughout history - that's the reality of economics. The U.S. has to make a firm decision whether to spend its fledgling finances in guns or giving its people butter to live on.
@@dao8805and yet he supports unconditionally I.sra.el
@@mhidou44 ; I do not agree with his previously stated stance on I/P either, but it is also not accurate to say he favors unconditional support for I. He has said he does not like Netanyahu and would have handled the situation MUCH differently. He is in favor of bringing both sides together and commit them to agreeing to a peaceful solution. Listen to his podcast "Path to Peace" where he speaks with a P. scholar and an I scholar.
Tariffs are taxes, paid by the citizens of the country that imposes them.
Let them tax their citizens as much as they want.
They are not trying to tax chinese products but kill the competition outright.
Shameful act by USA
they have none
fax tho!
Shameless west as well for following the u.s nonsense.
The real reason these tariffs exist is the rising threat of China to invade Taiwan. The US is punishing China through these tariffs to put pressure on China to not invade Taiwan
The typical west we all know. Freedom, free speech, and free market when they have advantages then as soon as they start losing, they go full fascism against everyone else.
You hit the nail on its head about US' double standards, hypocrisy, and falsehood in the so-called 'rule-based international orders'.
Just perfect, only correction: oligarchs don't beg the government, they own it
Yep! The US government is completely owned and run by ruthless oligarchs! Is it a wonder why it resembles so much like an organized crime syndicate?
The government just signs the forms and puts its hand out for the brown envelope.
If USA don't want to buy let other countries to buy
That’s the thing that pisses me off about the United Snakes! It not only bans Chinese companies, but it also forces all of its allies (puppets) to ban Chinese companies as well! For example, when the US banned Huawei it forced the UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, S Korea, Italy, and the rest of its vassal states to ban Huawei as well! In fact, all of these countries already had Huawei’s telecommunications lines and Internet system installed, but the US forced them to yank those systems all out, which cost those countries hundreds of billions of dollars in lost services and products that they had most already paid for! Now they all operate on slower 4G and 3G systems which hurts their businesses and citizens!
My response to your statement has been deleted by the so-called “freedom of speech” country because it exposes their lies! Everything about this evil empire it contradicts itself!
Ben_Norton, I thank you for your excellence. You're a living legend.
Hypocritical USA lost competitivness !
There's virtually no Chinese EVs in the US market right now. Any tariff imposed on them means "Don't bring your cars over. We're scared to compete with you!"
???
Like what China does to us car companies?
@@jult2309like Tesla ?
@@Cheesecake99YearsAgo pre electric. For more than 30 years China had had tariffs on American imports
@@jult2309 Don't play dumb. You should know very well that China hasn't banned or imposed tariffs on any foreign carmakers, not just from the US.
The largest automotive market outside of China is USA, and the second largest market is India. Chinese car companies have almost no business operations in these two countries, but in this situation, they surpassed South Korea in 2021, Germany in 2022, and Japan in 2023. Now, China has become the country with the largest number of car exports in the world.
Excellent analysis of USA regime's so-called free trade practices.
What I see happening is that everyone will get ahead of the US technological race because countries will be using China high tech products.
Yup. Dogs bark, but the caravan goes on.
If you ever visit a large Chinese city where majority of cars are electric, it's a sight to behold, the air is clean, the streets whisper quiet. It feels futuristic. Sadly for Americans, without affordable EV options, they will never experience this, they will watch on while rest of the world modernise and it's left behind.
Only you enjoy it.
America has one of the largest infrastructures for EVs wtf are you talking about? 😂😂😂
@@Wvavy Our power-grid cannot handle a fully EV environment, our cell towers are actually 4G masquerading as 5G, there is not enough power stations built, the likes of Tesla relies heavily on the Chinese production chain to keep costs down despite it already being too expensive for most people, and to top it all off, we are not even remotely close to being independent from China when it comes to batteries. You have to look at the bigger picture.
LOOOOOOOOOOOL clean air in china? china rarely has a place in it with more than 3km line of sight from all the smog. china is the most polluted country in the world and you can't hide your ugly gray skies no matter how hard you try.
@@Wvavy He's talking about the lack of affordable EVs. What did you think he was talking about lol?
"national security" is always last excuse.
Pathetic.

The Western tech monopoly is being ''threatened'', hence the tariffs, but American/Western consumer pay the extra.

You are passionate when it comes to fighting dishonesty in society, and that is something to be proud of, and to cherish! Humanity is in strong need of people like you!
Why can't the US produce the same technological products, better and cheaper instead of producing weapons for war torn countries? Thanks, Ben for the comments.
Labour costs.
@@Clapper74 It's not labor cost
The real answer is, the US car makers prefer to stick to their age-old method of producing ICE vehicles.
To them, sticking with tradition is much easier, and way less risky.
It's entitlement and individualism
If cost was the factor, India and Africa would be on top.
@@verypleasantguy China has the cheapest labour force and the US can’t compete with slave labour. Everyone in the US wants to make more and more and more. Drives costs up of everything. EV cars are garbage and will soon line the dumps while ICE cars will still dominate the roads. The US also doesn’t care about this as they just pump money into the military complex.
Americans will pay more for everything in huge amounts. FJB!!!!!
Brave and Brilliant journalist Ben 👏
Typical USA hypocrisy.
Thank you Mr Ben Norton ❤
Oh my God, your eyes are blue, so beautiful.
Even if Americans can buy Chinese electric cars, I don't think the United States can maintain the charging piles for electric cars. The U.S. infrastructure is often damaged by its own citizens.
Uncivilized Society 😂
Alien 👽
Good for thee. The US will continue to economically isolate itself from global market in the process, while the rest of the world will continue to open up to China. Just recently, the Indonesian Embassy for China just made an open briefing for Chinese media and stakeholders where they outline plan to further comprehensive cooperation over multisectoral fields, thus reaffirming Indonesia's commitment to continue the Jokowi's policy of opening up to China under the new president Prabowo in October. The US isn't going to earn the keen trust from the rest of Global South if it continues their reckless diplomatic strategy.
Imaging preferring China 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Who actually pays the tariff? The mirror knows.
I see the tarrifs as an attack on me as a consumer. No small EV I can afford is appropriate for oppressed people like me.
It has been quite a few years since I bought a car, but I heard that there's hardly any car that's below $20k now.😢
Mother of All Hypocrites!
thank you Ben for teaching us the truth
it would be weird if politicians and governments weren't hypocritical.
Where am I supposed to get my 304 steel rod from if not from China? Such tariffs r anti business!
Pay more for, made in the USA.
Ben, fantastic illustration and analysis. As always. Thank you.
It is the consumer paying the price☹️
Need a 100% tarrif to keep Chinese cars out, it really shows how behind US is in producing quality and affordable products.
Elon Musk is the largest EV manufacturer in the world, thank you very much.
@canopener6218 not anymore...BYD had overtaken Tesla...
BTW Tesla had a giga factory in China...just like Apple....
@@mustafazahari9793 So what? I mean, who do you think BYD stole its technology from?
Meanwhile wingnut, Tesla regained its number one position back over the heavily government subsidized BYD.
As Communist China has stolen American technology for years. Then subsidized Chinese companies heavily to put those same companies out of business.
Indeed, it's standard operating procedure for Communist China.
@@canopener6218the only reason Telsa is doing this well is because of the Shanghai factory. Otherwise Tesla will still be making a huge lost and possibly bankrupted.
Would you work for US$2 per hour? Chinese workers at these car manufacturers, that's what they are paid. That's why their prices for cars are lower. In America the average pay for an auto worker is $37.50 per hour. Do the Maths
you can't win against someone who will work much harder, faster & smarter than you
China cannot beat the US 😂
@@Wvavy They already have.
The tariffs are a reactionary measure and just a Band-aid.
@Wvavy Already have.
@YusufGinnah I will repeat, China cannot beat the US and they haven't 😂😂😂 Jesus.
@@lastnamefirstname2390 sure buddy
Even with the 100% tarrifs on Chinese EV cars they will still be cheaper than the cheapest American EV by almost $6000
That’s absolutely insane
chinese evs are trash, that’s why they are so cheap, also, why are tens of thousands of chinese evs goin unsold and being abandoned in the middle of nowhere?

Ben, it is not "cheap". It should be "less expensive", "inexpensive" or "reasonable value/price". It is different. Believe me. It is not CCP, it is CPC. Get the drill? Use our language and terms.
You seem to think cheap = low cost low value. That is not the case. When a comparable electric car cost's 10,000€ vs 30,000€, it is cheap. Chinese EV are cheap in comparison to western EV. BUT they are ONLY CHEAP IN CHINA!! China isn't selling cheap EVs in western markets, it is taking enormous profits. Profit for a Chinese EV is 1,000€ in China, compared to 15,000€ in the West. to So as a consumer, it is better to tariff the product to support the local economy instead of sending enormous profits offshore.
What about the largest environmental in recent history, the blowing up of the Nordstream pipeline

@odinallfarther6038 Not true, China is strategic, and the US are clearly threatened by China on many fronts, including economically. They are growing into becoming the world leader in global influence, which will only strengthen diplomatic and trade relationships with the majority of nations across the world. Their actions of reducing US bond holdings and increasing use of bilateral trade are encouraging other nations to abandon the US dollar, while locking down access to rare Earth materials essential for the manufacturing industry.

Consumers will be screwed
If countries stop importing from China what will they be able to import from other countries, who else produces the vast array of things that made in China.
Well, when they can't compete or choose not to compete, the only way to protect it's own industry is minimise the imports from overseas.
So much for their climate change concerns - when affordable climate friendly EVs are in market, they would try to kill it.

Always amazing info
"The imposition of tariffs proves detrimental to the United States. For instance, if a car costs $10,000 without tariffs but surges to $20,000 with imposed tariffs, American-made vehicles will hover around the $20,000 mark. Consequently, this renders the US automotive industry less competitive on the global stage. Consequently, these tariffs pose a significant threat to the competitiveness of the US industry."
BUT they are ONLY CHEAP IN CHINA!! China isn't selling cheap EVs in western markets, it is taking enormous profits. Profit for a Chinese EV is 1,000€ in China, compared to 15,000€ in the West. So as a consumer, it is better to tariff the product to support the local economy instead of sending enormous profits offshore.
@@nameberry220you don't think maybe the tariffs have something to do with that? Before it was 25% on all EVs coming from China.
