Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China.
Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least.
If this really escalates. China will play hardball.
China will do two things

This will cripple America. The American people think that rare Earth minerals are just for cell phones. No. It will affect American missiles, fighter jets. Not one American fighter jet has no
Rare earths aren't rare on earth. They're rare in market bc they are a pain in the ass to process.
Even then, we don't have all the elements we need & this isn't like the 60s when we sneakily imported Russian titanium we needed for the SR71
See why trump wants Ukraine's rare earth minerals so much!!!
A great “win” for these business jeenyuses. /sarc
so they’ll spin it, great opportunities for junior workers. 🤨🤨🤨
They add up significantly and will be a force to watch.
Trump & team really are amateurs compared.

Trump started this trade war. MAY THE BEST MAN WIN!
Also they are starting to build stronger alliances with the EU - this will speed up their displacement of the US as a crucial ally.
Totally stupid messing with China, as it had 7 yrs to prep for trump.
We're going to have 10% mortgages if enough treasuries get dumped.
7 yrs to prepare? Xi is ready & wants this fight.
Low mortgage rates would hurt trumps big backers.
In the negotiation game, between Xi and Trump, Donnie holds NONE of the cards.
It would give trump an excuse to declare martial law. It’s his end game.
Hard to believe that sentence isn’t parody.
Mining them because it’s so difficult. Tell me more

Nor does he understand that America will be isolated. No one is calling & begging to be his partner.
https:/www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-11/us-treasury-selloff-is-worst-since-repo-market-chaos-in-2019
The US is also not likely to come between the Putin-Xi relationship.
Then when the dollar is dumped in favor of some other currency, any other currency, billionaires win and we exist at their charity.
They were still talking about that today and how Trump was a master negotiator LOL. I've been in sales my whole life and I will tell you I would run circles around him. He is weak. Full stop.
As far as rare Earth metals go. If China bans these exports to America. It’s back to 1996 to America regarding technology and 2054 before it’s ready to start making those 1996 Nokia
There's no fixing them
We are all going to suffer.
The dollar is at the lowest is ever been against the Euro. Gold at all time high
They don't understand any of this
I saw that one coming.
The change in Xi is also important. If you think just back to 2018 when dealing with Trump. The Xi of just 7 years later is just more economically powerful than he was before.
Really really sobering.
It’s too soon to be here yet, but will be tomorrow.
I highly recommend listening

Greenland? No, that is to stop the defense against Russia. That’s why we have a base there.
Don’t forget: Trump is #PutinsPuppet.
Prescient even.
This trade war could start a recession. Dictatorships thrive when people are generally happy. But recessions make people angry. They’re unemployed and motivated. Throw in a populist charismatic leader and poof! Coup d'état. Obviously, Xi doesn’t want that.
Also, they are pulling together other nations and aligning them against us. Trade and otherwise.
This will solidify china for years as a new world leader.
The dual-use export control list does not guarantee outright export bans but allows for increased scrutiny of buyers, especially those linked to US military supply chains.
https://www.mining-technology.com/news/china-rare-earth-export-control/
The American people have selected a narcissistic bullying,lying and cheating disrespectful person to represent them and their country
So what can we do but finding new trade relations?
Trade wars can and often become kinetic wars.
Before WW1, Britain's largest trade partners were Germany and Russia.
Before WW2, Germany's largest trade partners were Britain and the USSR, and Japan's was the US.
Only Trump
Could possibly get S.K., China, and Japan to all work together simultaneously against someone else (USA) he really is the great force that truly brings people together
Even mortal enemies
He is a therapist's wet dream!!!

But really, you did this to yourselves 🫤
Politically, China is not beholden to its people on its decision making.
Trump is.
China will not roll over and make Trump happy.
China's reserves are over 90 times higher than that of the US.
..👇
When seen in the light of debt to GDP ratio, it is 116% to China's 77%.
So, what would happen if the current trade war continues escalating?
...👇
Remember, there are no winners in trade wars.
Experience should teach us better.
But, Americans did vote for economic suicide.
We studied the Chinese philosophy.
China once said, “If it takes 10 years or 10,000 years, we will own the world.”
I believe them.
China may do this anyway as a first part of the reclaim Taiwan strategy.
This would benefit China massively in any coming economic conflict- the EU and Ukraine will be the best allies in such circumstances along with CANAUSNZUK.
WAKE UP! the other 75% of the world is gonna leave us behind !!!
So...
I fear OUR "emperor" & his maga war-cabinet of togos / psychotic nationalists may be repeating history with their idiot dick-waving at China.
eg; There is a smarter way.
Bcuz this way maybe not.
Get what I'm saying?
He is a spoiled brat walking around in a schlumpy old man’s body, making decisions, moment to moment, based on whether his diaper is full or how angry he is at mommy or daddy.
He’s a dangerous, thumb sucking, tantrum throwing, carnival barking scam-artist.

They win. We lose.
We have none of these.
Greedy American corporations funded China's economy and growth when they moved their business over there.🤔
We only have the newest dicktator on the block.🫤
Trump can't plan past his next visit to the shitter.
China's already selling off US dollars so he's already lost!
True Americans know damn well we didn't win anything...we have lost everything that made us America.

America has decisions to make.
He ignored #SCOTUS and a federal judge.
That makes the US a fascist dictatorship currently.
Trump has turned the US into a nightmare.
We have to fight back for the young and the old.
But I think we are way beyond thinking we have 6mths
I just wish our protests were bigger.
They will crush us.
Here we are at the edge of the precipice or already on the fall...
Why have I neva noticed this?🤭😅
Moses started it, trump is just following.
There's a very large segment of USA's population that is seriously using religion as a cudgel and we don't stand for that at ALL LOL
Chinese culture goes back thousands of years. A strong sense of nationalism. They have 70% of rare earth minerals. There will be no deal. They are meeting with the EU this summer. We are not the only players at this poker table. America's credit card will be maxed out. Excellent thread.⬆️
The US is so firm in being exclusionary in every respect right now. In what boardroom does the sales executive say, "Let's shrink our world market?" No common sense detected.
Is that the title?
Who is the author?
Please and thank you.

Average reading ability has declined to a 9th grade reading level. These f*ckwits are challenged to follow the plot of Green Eggs and Ham. That's why Ted Cruz had to read it on the floor of the Senate.
Avg American reads at a 7th to 8th-grade level
1 in 5 adults reads below a third-grade level🙈
https://www.sparxservices.org/blog/us-literacy-statistics-literacy-rate-average-reading-level
It’s bad.
The hard core magas are probably 3rd grade.
Explaining politics and economics to them is like trying to teach calculus to 3rd graders.
3rd graders understand paddling, humiliation and time out.
Is there some way to get to them?
If they stop, NO MORE raising the Debt Ceiling!
Why aren’t all media reporting on this 5 alarm fire! MSNBC just did with Stephanie Ruhl.
Stocks and bonds BOTH going down is majorly bad for America! It means the world is losing confidence in the dollar!
We are on the brink of depression.

Once the other billionaires realize they are losing, some things may change.
Depends on how far they let him go before trying to real him in.
It may be too late.
The billionaires could definitely help but it’s mostly in the hands of the people getting in the streets now.
They lack of freedoms, or human rights and their communist model is a failure.
Plus the communist model is working just fine for those in power.
True but ouch.
Communism, capitalism,… all end up the same, benefit for the rich.
They are very stiff necked, efficient and adherent to their ideology.
Like you, I prefer Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness…with Liberty & Justice for ALL!
Where do we go for that now?
Oligarchs already called dibs on Mars.
Roughly 90%,
That's NINETY PERCENT
of the 238 migrants sent to El Salvador
lacked a US CRIMINAL RECORD.
So I'd say
WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR HUSBAND NEXT?
The thing is that one wrong doing with that man does not mean that the others are ok!
Human rights are for all, criminals or not, bc without them we become the criminals.
Read better before you assess
But China plays the long game, moves in decades, not news cycles.
When they play hardball, it’s with supply chains and rare earths, not truths and tariffs.
#Geopolitics
Putin is laughing.
China processes 87% of the world's REE. The choke point is processing. DJT should learn this fact before annexing sovereign territories for REE.

Birth of the EGO:
Once, we all shared a singular experience of undifferentiated wholeness, a state where we felt complete and without conflict. This “Primordial State,” is shattered at birth, initiating the formation of the ego as a mechanism for survival.

Not the the US is much of a democracy now…
Trump is trying to scapegoat China. Not sure it’ll work. Shame it wouldn’t bring his downfall if it didn’t.
and now the president pilfered our savings the damn tr∆mp
This is isn't right
They have an economic Nuke; we helped them build it and we have no way to counter it.
China has time.
Most Americans have a wildly inaccurate idea of what modern China is like.
Hence Vance’s derisive mention of Chinese "peasants."
" a nation of SUV drivers ...telling a nation of cyclists what to buy and consume"
( best guess,this was ages ago)
But no, they're all not peasants NOW

T-RA better hope they don't cash in their bonds. Idiot.
Unfortunately Ol' Yam Tits is systematically dismantling all of those advantages and global assets
Trump is playing the wrong game with the wrong opponent rhe wrong way at the wrong time.
China’s holdings have declined from $1.3 trillion in the early 2010s .
https://truthout.org/articles/bernie-sanders-demands-a-17-minimum-wage-as-trumps-tariffs-embarrass-gop/
Trumps only goal is to enrich himself today.
He doesn’t have to brains for thinking long term and doesn’t care about any other person other than himself.
May he end up in an El Salvadoran prison.
Do us a favour and keep him down there.
The running of a nation is a deadly serious endeavor. People who think of it as a game shouldn't be anywhere near that sort of power.
govt installed via rigged elections by Musk/Putin in swing states
China: "Chairman Mao says no".
that is picking up influence
China is the biggest country standing up to Trump's bullying
Doesn't matter what Fox says
China is taking USA's place
Only 15% of its output goes to the US.
They've been contemplating thus possibly for years.
They don't have to worry about internal opposition.
T has taken an Enormous tiger by the tail..
Just need everyone to hold their nerve on this and cripple America once and for all. See how they like their country being ripped apart by foreign governments stopping trade with them like america has done to so many other countries.
90% of other countries see America as a terrorist organisation
Not the fault of everyday Americans though.
China has significant investments in the Horn of Africa along with the Panama Canal. Choke point controls. It's also likely Greenland will be a future chokepoint for arctic shipping with the coming
Trump must be getting advice, but not from professional intelligence analysts. If they were professional, we wouldn't see the market whipsaws that tariffs caused or the boasting about owning Greenland and Panama.
