China Called Trump’s Bluff

China Called Trump’s Bluff​

There is a lesson here for anyone Trump threatens

When President Donald Trump launched his trade war on the world, he issued a stern warning: “Do not retaliate and you will be rewarded.”

China ignored the warning. It was rewarded anyway.

This morning, Trump largely suspended his trade war in return for nothing but promises of ongoing discussions. There is a lesson here for everybody Trump threatens, whether countries or businesses or universities.

The more likely answer is that Trump rolled back his tariffs without getting any major concessions from the Chi Coms, because his global trade war was a stupid idea from day one and he knew his mindless Cult worshipers would celebrate that he made a great "deal"

Why does your keyboard still work when your Google machine is obviously broken?

What has been announced?​

Both the US and China have confirmed a reduction in the tariffs they imposed on each other following the initial escalation by President Donald Trump earlier this year.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyg2939ej2o
The deal involves both nations cancelling some tariffs altogether and suspending others for 90 days, by 14 May.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyg2939ej2o
The result is that additional US tariffs on Chinese imports - that's the extra tariffs imposed in this recent stand-off - will fall to from 145% to 30%, while recently-hiked Chinese tariffs on some US imports will fall from 125% to 10%.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyg2939ej2o
China has also halted and scrapped other non-tariff countermeasures, such as the export of critical minerals to the US, which it put in place in response to the initial escalation.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyg2939ej2o
The US measures still include an extra 20% component aimed at putting pressure on Beijing to do more to curb the illegal trade in fentanyl, a powerful opioid drug.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyg2939ej2o
The announcement came after the two countries held talks in Switzerland, the first between the two countries since Trump sparked the latest tariff war.

Once more, because you lack a brain or intelligence, it is China that blinked. Not Trump. What's with you brainless assholes on the left and your cheering for China and brutal criminal alien gang bangers.

You've all lost your collective minds and lack any common sense. :palm:

Such a great negotiator. Bwahahaha!

He freaked investors out there for a short time. Then everyone realized that he's full of bullshit and hot air and would cave. And so he did. Our investments are back up to where they were when Pres. Biden left office. For now. We'll see what fresh hell the #MangoMoron wreaks next.

He's basically doing what liberals told him to do two months ago: don't get us into a global trade war

First and foremost, there is nothing "liberal" about you or the Democratic Party of the Lying Jackass. Secondly, leftists told Trump to force China to the negotiating table using tariffs? When did that happen?

What a brainless dumbass. :laugh:

Yep. I'm pretty sure that he's been besieged by panicking, anxious (R)s worried about next year's mid-terms, too. Hence his sudden veering to the left to get prescription drug prices down. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a govt. imposes price controls on private corporations, isn't that socialism? Fascism? One of the Reichwing's boogeymen?

Just imagine if Biden or some other (D) POTUS proposed that.

I actually agree with the #MalignantMoron on this. Medicare and other health insurance companies would save literally billions if we were being charged the same for medications that are far less expensive in other countries, esp. those with national health care plans -- which is most of the civilized world.

Well as I said yesterday I thought Trump was holding off on telling us what was in his great deal so that the market would go up and up then when he gave us the real info it would come back down and from what I see that is just what it did.
