Trump has forced negotiations...which is what he wanted

This is the mantra of idiots who worship Trump.

You must be silly.

You people should calm down, Trump's plan was actually to force China to the negotiation table, and he has achieved that.


You must be illiterate.
Anyway this is what Trumpists always say, no matter how stupid what he does is.

He started an unnecessary trade war over nothing where there was no need and has folded, period.

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.

Nah. The tariffs have driven a fair deal with lots of countries. Say what you like, but with China getting over 250 billion trade surplus over the US for the 4th year running, is saying those tariffs were worth it.

If China was not really feeling the heat, they won't agree to negotiations.
i used the sentence “not really” unlike other countries who have been trying to meet Trump for discussion like UK,Canada and co
China never thought of meeting Trump for the tariff cut. They are not desperate to stop the trade war !

Instead of the US, China now buys beef from Australia and Crude from Canada so will they change stability for instability.

Imagine being so constipated from eating so much humble pie, you had to climb from 245% all the way down to 30%. Brilliant negotiation, right?

Since you are very literate, let me ask you:


What was China’s tariffs on American goods and vice versa?

How open was the Chinese market to American goods and vice versa?

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

I am in tech space so I can speak for technology.

USA tech are invention base. They invent, China steal. A US tech company created and invested in GPT. Deepseek came up ed their LLM and started boasting. Now deepseek has sunk back to where it came from.

Chinese are can’t cope with USA techs…not in this age. China need to look away from stealing technologies…they should start inventing.

Most of the missiles they gave to Pakistan drop undetonated in India. India had to pick these missiles and start parading them. Very embarrassing for China.

They copied They stole F35 warplane yet failed to replicate it.

Give credit to China on home electronics and some computing hardwares.

But their whole semiconductor industry is still behind USA NITDVA. Its valuation beat china.

You are not getting the gist sir.

China isn't moved instead it has moved on. All what china gets frm USA is now being sourced from other nation like Brazil, Australia even Canada

But USA, they r practically out of items with their ports literally empty from Seattled to other heavy-duty ports.

I bet u China isn't moved by this trade war but USA.
You are just blabbing. What do you mean China isn't moved. Why won't they be moved when their biggest market is US. Both country were moved. So keep quiet if you don't understand
Thedon12(m): 5:14pm On May 12
Did you read the tweet very well, US asked for it and
China agreed. Do you know how long Trump waited for China to agree? Trump is a clown .

You're just a Trump hater, China did call for the negotiation that was even before US had talks with the UK.

They invent China steal

I can see your mind is programmed and operating at the undergrad or graduate level

You have not yet learned to think your own thoughts . You just regurgitate what you are programmed with

The Issue of Intellectual property is a very long conversation beyond your maturity or cognitive level
Let me just throw one idea for you to ruminate on

The USA is less 400 years old and there are inventions that are thousands of years old and no one ever came up with the idea of OWNING invention or intellectual property for thousands of years

The idea of owning intellectual property is good if it favours you. It would be unwise in the military arena to say
"Golly you own the rights to an AK 47 I guess we better up our javelin game".

Like the US NEVER STOLE ANYTHING

You are not educated enough or mature enough to have that conversation. You are just running an App you ed from CNN and MSNBC. In short you have no clue

No one would give up electricity or tires or matches or shoes because someone claims intellectual property but would gladly assert such claims if others are stupid enough to concede it. My only prayer is it does not take too long before you wake up and learn to think for yourself

You just have to find a way to twist narratives right?

What was the initial Tarrifs before the negotiations? We are just back to status quo where China was making a kill which Trump thought by doing gragra he can bully China to submission.

China called for negotiation, US can always get cheap things from India, South Korea, Bangladesh, Japan even Thailand.

The US is China's single country largest market. If they were not desperate and the trade war was not really affecting them,they wouldn't have started negotiations with the US. You think China agreed to negotiate because they are very "religious and kind hearted"? The decision to negotiate with the US revealed how desperate they were.

US asked for it you say, USA is China's biggest market and you think China is the only country producing what the United States need. There are countries in Asia that can replace China like India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan etc. Now tell me which country can replace the purchasing power of USA? Please don't call Africa, because California GDP alone is bigger than the combined four largest economies of Africa. From Trump's tariff, the US has gotten investment worth over $1trillion from companies like Nvidia, Johnson and Johnson, Apple, IBM, Hyundai, etc. Now check how much China tariff products from US before the tariff against 10% today, you'll know USA actually won.

My broda, check well o. Because the last time I checked, Britain (who eventually succumbed to Donald Trump's trade warfare) is not a small country. And China which is now requesting for a peace deal with the US of A is not a small country either.

English is not that difficult mate. China is saying that after they heeded to the appeals after considering their interest. This means they were not the one that sought out the negotiation as you claimed.
