Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

China changed its approach to U.S. tariffs under Trump's second term.

Instead of reacting unpredictably, Beijing responded with targeted retaliation. It imposed tariffs on U.S. farm goods and blacklisted American companies.

Analysts said China prepared better this time by strengthening its economy and diversifying trade partners.

Unlike Canada and Mexico, which tried negotiating with Trump, China refused to engage directly. Its leaders said they would not appear weak or accept pressure from the U.S. but remained open to negotiations on equal terms.

Is it not a net benefit to China in that the US drawing inwards expands their global influence? And they must be laughing at what carnage Trump is inflicting on the North American auto sector at a time when China is surging ahead with EVs.
