The main problem here is that the usa doesn't like factory work even if they bring production back to usa, the immigrants that can do the work has been sent away

China is two decades ahead of US in terms of manufacturing production. Leverage on where your country has edges and stop crying like a toddler mumu man.

Anyway let the war between US and China gets more and more escalated. It will be a win for Canada and Mexico in particular. Americans will be forced to travel to those countries to get most of their goods.

Trump is pained to the marrow grin grin China is a self sufficient state unlike others and can easily do away with the US but the US can't survive without the Chinese. Investors prefer to manufacture their stuff in China because of cheap labor and almost tax free regime which is not obtainable in the US. (e.g. The likes of Innoson won't go to the US for their spares even big company like Boeing can't build aircraft engines without the Chinese components, Apple will make almost no profit if it tries to shift its production line to the US )
The US should wake to reality that the global economy has taken a new face


>China depend heavily on export

>US would feel it harder if China retaliate (which of course they will)

>US has the capability of locking in an build up to ward off the effect, it'll only take a few months

>China lost it biggest trade partner

>Chinese massive production dwindled, cause their biggest buyer went self sufficient

>Their economy tanked

You are wrong, it was a comination. I guess you forgot to read the history of the D-Day at Normandy when American troops and allies landed in France to liberate Europ. You also forgot Hiroshima and Nakadashi when American launched a nuclear warhead on the Japanese thereby ending WW2
😆Please go and do proper historical research from 1941-1944 over 85% of Nazi German forces were fighting the Soviet union the liberation of France and the Low Countries (Belgium, Netherlands,etc) only occured after the successful Russian (Soviet) military operation Known as Bagration which was the worst defeat of the Germans apart from Stalingrad as the USA was mainly fighting the Japanese in the Pacific War also the majority of Europe including the strongholds of Nazism in Europe (Berlin,Vienna, Budapest) were DENAZIFIED(Liberated )by the Russians (Soviets)

Lol if you take your business to States are you going to be paying the same wages like the one being paid to Chinese. When you factorize US minimum wage in your cost of Production so to you it will still be cheaper...
As a manufacturer, lets assume you are producing and sending 1,000,000 units of your products to US every year, would you rather incorporate 104% tariff into your cost of producing every single unit of those 1,000,000 product OR you will pay your 250 factory workers US wages.

China will cave in at the end. American goods don't sell in China the way Chinese goods rely heavily on US markets. Watch as Chinese factories start folding up. US has purchasing power, that's why Trump brags.

china sells 438bn$ to US, china's second largest consumer is Hong Kong at 138bn$ followed by south korea, Japan, Vietnam (3 of them about 225bn$ collectively). China's strategy to greatness is produce for the lazy Americans to consume. now you wan fight your biggest consumer

Either side has something to lose when there is an imbalance of trade. The $400b+ China rakes in from the US will not come if that 104% tarrif stands for a year. What if imports from US are not up to $200b? Who loses?

Wake up to reality it will take years for the US to shift their manufacturing lines and besides when last did you personally buy made in America.. we all know that US products are expensive (iPhone for example) , and with what Trump just did most countries will never trust the US again. China has everything for it survival and has already prepared FYI the Chinese launched Boeing rival the Comac C919 in 2019 (All components were internally made from scratch). Trump has failed on this China is the new unofficial world leader

Now this is someone with sense and decorum talking.

Every sane human regardless of their tribe, race and religion needs to pray that China, Russia and the Axis win this economic war over the demonic West. Everyone is tired of hypocrisy, genocide and wokeism.

Some comments made earlier has led me to firmly believe that either Nairaland has been invaded by bots and paid Western agents or some people choose to be deliberately stupid.

One even stated that Africa will dump Chinese goods. Dump them for whose goods exactly?
China is the reason most Africans now own a smartphone and use sophisticated gadgets.

Left to the West, they'll prefer to make those gadgets unaffordable for us.

But some goats on this forum would prefer to support the West, who have never hidden their disdain for us over China. Very unreasonable set of people.
