China has put civilian government officials in Beijing on 'wartime footing' and launched a diplomatic offensive to rally other countries against Donald Trump's tariffs https://reut.rs/4cs24uu

China has been moving away from 🇺🇲 for years while building BRICS. China is actively fostering new trade alliances at a time when global trade is restructuring. China will be fine.
China, please give Trump the humility lesson of is life! He deserves it for all chaos he's doing with a cold determination. Americans will also learn that politics is not a TV show or a MAGA party.
Until frump, we used to be able to coexist with China.during every administration. And there’s a reason for that, this -is -it. He did know who he was picking on.
I hope this crushes him.
No one has done as much for Uncle Ping ping’s favourability than Trump, everyone wants to make deals with China and step away from the steaming pile that is now America under the Trump regime… he’s making the world work with a long standing dictator 🤷🏾♀️
China would have had more chance rallying nations to its call, especially those in East Asia , if it hadn't spent the last decade plus laying claim to waters it has no right to.
China is an ethno-nationalist state, and wants war for economic reasons. The others are the same. Phillipines and Indonesia have already accelerated resource pillaging of indigenous lands. War will only make it that much easier. @mariaressa.bsky.social
USA is less than 15% of total exports from China. They have actively been solidifying new trade alliances since Trump's first term when it was over 20%. China will rebound as they are actively looking to expand trade alliances at a time when all other countries are doing the same.
China has the upper hand here. China owns nearly 10% (1 trillion dollars) of our mortgage backed securities and 7% of our debt in the form of treasury bonds.
Selling either off would drive up interest rates, & impact the dollar. China could withstand the impact to their own economy.
China couldn’t absorb the shock of dumping $750B+ in Treasuries. It’d be a reckless move—selling at a steep discount and taking massive losses, while also straining ties with trading partners. It would also destabilize China's own currency reserves.
I have lived long enough to see someone piss off the "sleeping giant," as my dad used to say. I have also lived long enough to see Americans rooting for our enemy due to the dumb ass in the WH. Truly bizzare.
Getting out of a dictatorship isn’t easy. Thiel is deeply installed in defence and security. The other oligarchs have been choosing the candidates for decades.
There is no doubt that his cognitive state has declined from even last year at this time. Worse and worse every day. The people around him know it and some think they can use it to their advantage. Meanwhile the country swirls down the toilet.
I guess as long as those around him end up far richer than they started none of them care what happens with the rest of the world. They're delusional if they think the world will forgive and forget just because Trumpty Dumpty is gone.
It would absolutely take a shit president like Donald Trump to squander the American empire on frivolous bullshit like “tariffs good” that leads to China ascending to global economic leadership.
Trump is such a stupid asshole. He hates China, but works to make them more influential each day.
It was already a big mistake not to ratify the TPP agreement in its first term. China was happy to fill the vacuum that was left behind. The US could have led there, now they are on the sidelines.

It’s a topsy-turvey world when we’re looking to China for support.
America is going fascist so it's the lesser of two evils.
China: We make all the cards
China has 1.4bn people & been a nation for 5,000 years. It’s gonna be there long after Donald Trump & his little trade war are only a distant memory

This grifter must go.
