Iweakbro:The fact that you have to ask if he is a little kid suggests that you lack a substantial argument Make your point politely and respectfully China uncensored on YouTube cannot be deemed to be a God ordained source of facts because you say so. No right thinking person can say that there is no effect of tariffs on the Chinese just as there is on the US How can that be measured objectively for comparison ? Debatable Even if we could measure and put a number to it and say Oh the Chinese suffering is 70% and the US suffering is 20% that tells us NOTHING . The Chinese may be willing to tolerate more pain than the US are. Maybe maybe not. We simply do not know. What we do know is The US started this. Trump has demanded that the Chinese Premier call him The Chinese Premier refused to do that He insisted that junior officials meet to negotiate first That is what is happening now If the officials agree a deal then he will meet Trump to sign it Any argument about who is suffering more is pointless What is clear is that the US that started this has backed down from its insistence that Xi call Trump and bowed to Chinese demands for negotiations based on Equality and Respect Those negotiations ARE NOT HAPPENING IN THE USA but Switzerland. That is telling The US has dropped Tariffs that IT imposed and China reciprocated. The US has not gained any advantage 1 Like 1 Share |

Watcharena: Name two countries that China sells more to than they sell to the USA. Are you aware that China is a substitute for China, population speaking? They are waiting in the wings for China to slip up, then they can take up the manufacturing that makes China thrive. |

In a trade war, China holds a lot more cards than the US may think. Infact, China may have the upper hand. While the rest of the world were shivering and running helter skatter because of Trump tarrif hike, China reciprocated immediately with all boldness. #likeforchina.

Well done Trump!what many people doesnt know is trump did what other paste POTUS has been shying away from for decades...no sane country will depend on china for everything, US need to rebuild their economy,many has lost jobs to china manufacturers and siting American factories in china bc of cheap labor,even mexico & Canada has taken advantage of US free trade to get goods from china package it as if it was made in Mexico or Canada to escape tarrif & made profits without creating jobs for d US. After US spent billions in research & inventions,all china does is to just copy & mass produce others sweat for profits. Why US with shrinking economy pretend to be father Xmas spending billions in USaid for others.While wallowing in debt & deficit if this shiit continues US will be brought on her knees,her superpower,economy, glory all will be gone!Abeg trump make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!! |

Iykenuwa:I do not reason like you obviously That is life Mature adults understand that and negotiate the world respecting that. The fact that people do not reason LIKE YOU does not entitle you to be rude to them Rather you should seek to understand their perspective, hopefully learn something and move on A lack of manners is a clear reflection of poor home training and dysfunctional family background |

hotwax:US companies are more succesful because they have better access to Capital. Interest rates in Nigeria are 30% or near in the US it is near 5% and was close to zero a few years ago Where does all that capital come from? Our Foreign reserves are held in institutions like JP Morgan. We must trade with China in dollars and sell our crude in dollars. So the whole world is FORCED to park their capital in dollars . It is not only US tech companies. ALL US companies are relative successful compared to the others . Not because they are offering anything special but because of access to capital McDonalds, Starbucks, KFC, Coca Cola, Pepsi, have virtually no international competition not because their products are so special When countries even try to dedollarize they are threatened , suffer coups or even assassinations of presidents Trump recently threatened any country that tries it. So it is not as simple as American tech is so great but they have capital AND When they see any company that is successful like TIKTOK what do they do? If you don't know then forget it |

Iweakbro:Calm down oga!!! Who claimed the tariffs wouldn’t hurt China? Who said that? I never did! From the start, I made it clear: both sides would feel the impact. China would face challenges, yes—but not collapse—because the U.S. market s for just 15% of its total exports and around 2% of its GDP. In reality, it was the U.S. that appeared more eager to secure a deal, not the other way around. |

Iykenuwa: He has technically achieved nothing my brother. His initial plan was to hike the end-price of Chinese goods via tariffs to be at least the same with an American manufactured products, and while at same time, bully China into moving some of its production factories to USA. Similar to what Japan did fee decades ago. Both plans are absolutely unrealistic. But his eyes are clear now that China holds same or even more cards. The reality is that both countries need each other desperately to survive. Atleast in the meantime. |

adioolayi:US actually won, before now goods from US were tariff at over 60% which made USA goods expensive in China, goods imported from China to USA was tariff at 0% which made Chinese products cheap in USA. By going 10% on both sides, USA now have access to Chinese market. So it's a win for USA |
