Frankly, it's about time the Chinese asserted their interests vis-a-vis the United States. And as usual, Trump thinks he's the wounded party. China doesn't need the US, but the US needs China. So Trump had better learn, and fast. Honestly, I can see Tulsi Gabbard shaking her head in her imposed silence.

Think of all the goods the US imports from China. The list is long. Tariffs get passed along to the US consumer, farmers, industries, and more. Watch our wallets and bank accounts shrink quickly. Much in our lives will cost noticeably more.

This president's threats, bluster, insults, deceptions, accusations, and monetary punishments--against China and other nations that trade with the US--will hurt the American people.

We are already hurting by billions of dollars sent to Israel and Ukraine~instead of using that money to take care of the US' own infrastructure.

We are already hurting by our farms' chickens being killed by the millions by government agencies--avian flu is the given reason every time. While I am on this...do you know about the privately-owned ostrich farm in British Columbia? Close to 400 birds--they can live for up to 70 yrs.--are under threat to be killed by a Canadian agency...'in case of bird flu'. The birds are NOT sick. This story from 2021 about the farm will tell you why the govt wants to kill the birds:

100% agree with China. What we are seeing in public has been going on behind the scenes for decades. I bought some ear buds - guess what Made in China!

China also recently announced a ban on Australian iron ore, but the bit that got overlooked by many commentators was that the ban is on iron ore priced in US dollars.

Seems China is not interested in $US anymore. Your predictions are coming to pass Larry.

China had paid a very, very high price for our Beef Shank because Chinese people have a delicious recipe to slow cook the Shank for a very long time, making the meat very tender & tasty; hence, the shank meat is considered a premium cut of meat in China. I really hope and pray that Trump won't ANGER China with the idiotic crazy high tariff shouting and then lowering the percentage in a TACO move - this kind of irresponsible & disrespectful dealing with a foreign nation will only make China to give up buying the U.S. beef and, instead, buying it from Australia.
