Exports to the United States accounted for 30% of China’s total worldwide trade surplus in 2024. Loss of that business will leave many Chinese workers unemployed and at unrest with President Xi.
Pertinent post , and good context for a Canadian such as I. If the tariffs are in fact going to be structural and not a negotiating tactic, the Canadian dollar is cooked.
When President Trump was asked by a reporter, "Are you going to take Canada by military force?"
He answered, "No, by economic force."
There are good reasons why the most powerful man on earth leading the most powerful military on earth wants the land mass known as "Canada" to become the "cherished" and "well protected" 51st State.
It has everything to do with the REAL geopolitical RISK 'game' literally going on right now, and there is no way on God's green earth that he will allow the land mass known as "Canada" to be the weak link between Russia, China, the EU and the NWO.
As it is, factually and reportedly so, the Arctic IS the soft underbelly of North America, with both Russian and Chinese warships (among others) 'coasting' along up there.
"Canada" cannot protect it.
It does not have the money, the military, the OOMPF, nor the wherewithal to do so. The former Jackass in charge all but guaranteed that in his WEF dreams of a "post-national state" while denigrating the military to woke wearers of high heels and forcibly, intentionally bankrupting the land mass.
The leader of the opposition MAY have a good plan to 'fix it,' however, that will take years, mighty manpower and $Trillions to accomplish, even if that plan was implemented *looks at watch, right now.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Does Trump want to take away the Canadian dream, spirit, culture and identity?
Nope, not even a little.
He DOES want to make the Continent the strongest, most powerful Continent on earth.
All the way from the Panama Canal, through Canada, right on up and into Greenland.
The world has changed dramatically from yore. To live in nostalgia of what it once was, is foolish, as those times are long gone. Have been for decades actually. The only ones NOT aware of this fact are The People, who were intentionally and by design, kept in the dark of the Truth.
Kinda nice to have someone pull back the curtain to SHOW the world what has actually been going on I'd say.
[They] have been sheep herding us all into an abysmally controlled corral with no escape for a VERY long time.
UNTIL, that is, someone lassoed that sh*t and said, "NOT on my watch!"
"Canada," being a mere vassal state of great britain, and literally just a Corporation, opened the door of an economic take over.
And here we are.
Canadians have the choice of becoming part of the US, part of the EU, or becoming a province of the NWO.
Personally, one would think the choice of having a REAL Constitution with Teeth based on God's Law not Maritime (Contract) Law, a REAL Bill of Rights with Power, REAL gold backed, hard asset backed money (NOT currency), and the abolishment of the slavery system known as "taxes, taxation without representation and usury" would be the wiser choice.
We will NEVER take Canada, or even Greenland, as US territory. Trump is just blowing so much smoke. If Trump attacks Canada too much, what is to stop them from selling their oil and other goods to China or other Asian countries? When you make someone your economic enemy, don't expect them to just roll over and play nice. Blowback can happen. As for the Artic, I am so tired of all the excuses we need to increase the already insane DoD budget. How about defend America and let all these other countries take care of themselves?
The US Dollar will be cooked too. Trust me, the spending has NOT stopped, despite this trimming around the edges. The huge categories which create the deficits will NEVER be touched.
I have a real problem with this. Unless I somehow missed China sending an army in to confiscate land by force, some good old-fashioned capitalist Americans chose to sell it to them. We wonder why our government cheats and robs us in so many ways--look in the mirror, they operate on the same values we display. I'm all for taking the land back, AND refunding the purchase price. You want to confiscate it, fine, just shut up about what our government takes from you.
Leftism, socialism, Marxism, and Communism are anti business and anti-free-market. The West has adopted their economic theories, obfuscated by Keynes, wholesale. Their true nature is the opposite of how they present themselves. A tiny elite controls everything. Absolutely not a "dictatorship of the proletariat." It is a dictatorship of the elite oner the proletariat. Yet they get away with portraying free markets as the one percent feeding on the herd and themselves as caring and generous benefactors. Both the Left and the CCP and, formerly, the USSR are incongruously presented as being for the poor and the working class while herding them into the butcher shop.
Never in the press is Musk mentioned without the pejorative Billionaire adjective. But they can't hide the saliva drooling from their chins at the thought of becoming one themselves. Meanwhile they fatten us up for slaughter by filling our feeding troughs with their garbage while they feast on our rightful wealth.
Is it not ironic billionaires delight in laying off thousands of employees making a lot less money than them? They don't even follow Civil Service regulations. We have a President, not a King. This is like Andrew Jackson's day, when every Civil Servant was cashiered and the new Administration brought in their own cronies to run it. How can the President shut down whole departments for which there are Congressional appropriations?
Speaking of billionaires, you saw who made out on the Panama ports, didn't you? Another billionaire Larry Fink and Blackrock. The American people will get ZERO benefit. You see who billionaires look after and it isn't regular employees.
We will have to be rational in opposing our enemies. Yes, most of the enemies of liberty are rich, but richness does not equal evil. There are many more evil poor people than rich people. "“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands there is no one who seeks God." Romans 3:12 Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Eccles. 7:20
One additional observation. The steel tarifs are going to crush China's competitors, leaving only the USA and China as the primary sources. So, they will benefit China.
Dr. StOnge. I have never disagreed with you. But, I think you are wrong vis-a-vis the condition of China. From everything I am reading or hearing, China is racing ahead of the USA in every technology and industry including chips, aircraft, automotive, and defense. Their people (middle class) are enjoying extremely advanced cities and lifestyles at a fraction of the US cost. The "on the ground" reporting from US citizens living and working in China unanimously verify these facts. So, while it's economy has issues and it's totalitarianism exists, it's citizens are not feeling the pinch as you describe.
Exactly. Both Russia and China have hypersonic missiles DEPLOYED, while we struggle to make them work reliably and haven't got them in production yet. Both these countries emphasis engineers and scientists and reward them well. In the US, the MBA is the most valued degree. We have our priorities all wrong. Chinese EVs are being sold around the world. Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they are increasing market share with those everywhere else.
Interesting. China has tried to look like the new "Communist Capitalist" for the last 3 decades. An economic miracle they kept saying. I keep hearing that China is leading in A/i, semiconductors, many areas of technology, and even their navy now exceeds ours.
Furthermore, they are creating hundreds of new cities around the globe. Tech meccas and areas of massive prosperity, often using the US taxpayer dollar in the process. But in the spirit of making the globe a better place to live for billions, you would think the US would want to work with other countries...by getting rid of tariffs.
I guess not. Underneath it all, China is still communist as their social credit system proves, and their debt is rising almost as fast as ours. If the worldwide financial system doesn't blow up, I still figure China will surpass the US as the economic kingpin by the late 2030's.
The US can be pretty authoritarian. Have you forgot COVID-19 with the pack of lies told regularly to the American people and to this day, the government has NEVER apologized. Just wait until the next emergency. Just like 9/11, government will grab more power and spy on us more, if that is possible. The US is so different government-wise from the Founding Fathers, it is just said to contemplate. The government tells us how much water our showers can use, as also our toilets, and even what kind of light bulbs we are allowed to buy. Furthermore, we are taxed multiple ways on everything. We are hardly a city on a hill anymore.
Saying China had 500 EV companies and a lot are gone is just normal market economics. There was no those many EV makers could make it. That said, China is selling EVs all over the world. Just because we don't see them here doesn't mean they are not selling them hand over fist. These kind of articles remind of of articles claiming Russia's economy was on the ropes and ready to collapse at any time. China still holds plenty of cards. They are already hurting some companies with their specialty metals withholds and probably the Pentagon as well. Virtually all electronics in the US will go up significantly, which is inflation, regardless of cause. No one is going to make all the small parts going into laptops here in the US, nor are Chinese plants likely to come here. Americans are lazy and the public schools have done a horrible job of educating future American workers. This article could have been written by the Trump White House as it pretends the US holds all the cards and China has none.
Insightful, thank you. Should that have been youth UNemployment (20%)?
I wondered the same
Exports to the United States accounted for 30% of China’s total worldwide trade surplus in 2024. Loss of that business will leave many Chinese workers unemployed and at unrest with President Xi.
You might want to check those figures.

Anyhoo,

China is a mess!

Looks like a propaganda piece. Mostly it doesn't add up.

Why, if we pay to be here are we getting a video "In just one week Trump will be sworn in?"
