China panicked and yet imposed tariffs of 34% on the USA, so said delusional man-child Trump. He is now believing in his own lies. Children are children with different way of thinking.
If China really panicked, Xi would have flown to Washington now to beg for mercy. Did Xi do that to show that he is panicking? No, Xi is not panicking and is going to Moscow instead to meet with Putin. That shows which is more important for China - Russia or USA.
Trump has wiped out a big chunk of the fortunes of the big tech companies with his tariff fallout, which is still not the end of the story unfolding. Musk's association with Trump and his rhetoric is leading to his massive losses of his Tesla investment. Associate with a six-time bankrupt can only result in having the bankruptcy stigma being transferred to Tesla. Trump really has the Midas Touch in reverse as well, just to quote John Mearsheimer, commenting on Joe Biden earlier on his massive mistake of pushing Russia towards China.
The USA can continue to spin that those tariffs are going to collapse China. As if twenty years of spouting the collapse of China mantra is not tired and weary enough. The West does not know how the Chinese economy really works and is making assumptions based on the USA and Western mindset. What works negatively in the USA and the West does not necessarily mean that it will also work against China economically. For example, there is a world of difference between Chinese worker's working attitude and Western workers. In the West, workers fight for more pay and yet want shorter working hours. This has been revealed by Taiwanese workers seconded to TSMC factories in Arizona, where they found this out to their disbelief. Too many years of having free loading on the fruits of others labor in exchange for toilet papers has raised one or two generation of lazy bums that cannot do an honest day's work. They probably prefer to live on the streets with free housing, food from soup kitchens and no utility bills to pay and making use of free street lighting, LOL.
Trump can continue to raise the ante to confront China, while China and the rest of the world are finding new avenues to trade among themselves, maybe just forgetting the USA completely in time to come. Since the USA is moving towards closing its market to others, it works perfectly fine for China, which has been discreetly de-coupling from the USA. Notice too that the USA does not talk much about de-coupling from China lately. Sounds rather abnormal to say the least.
Oh, not to forget that protests are taking shape against Trump, who is asking those protestors to toughen themselves for the pain. Ya, bear with the pain, while Trump cuts taxes for the super-rich. Sounds rather illogical.

Biden pushed Russia to China. Trump is pushing Iran towards Russia and China. In fact, Trump is pushing the whole world to go against the USA.
At the start of the Ukraine War in 2022, the USA and the West gloated that Russia will be isolated and have no friends. It was even predicted that Russia will collapse, and its currency will turn into rubbles. It looks like the reverse is happening. How many countries are queuing to join BRICS, the brainchild of Putin? If they are unfriendly, like the G7, would they be queuing up to be friends of Russia? I think the reality just demolished all the fabrication and lies.
There is now a perception that Western companies, like MacDonalds, that left Russia during the earlier period of the Ukraine War and ensuing sanctions, are now said to be looking to return to Russia. Too little too late, as the vacuum has already been filled by Russian investors and others including China. Putin has indicated that any return of such Western companies will not be given any privileges and have to start from the ground upwards. Locals in Russia and Chinese and other investors are reaping in the dough now, and Western investors are licking their wounds looking on.
The same will be played out in China, with Western companies pulling out, who will never be able to come back by even 'the very next day' when they are sober. Apple found out, but it never was in a position to leave China knowing that its future still depends on factories in China and the skilled workers. Samsung did the same by moving some production and investing big in India. Now, after being slapped with a US$600 million tax evasion bill, Samsung is thinking of moving investments to China and more to Vietnam.
Japan is pushing Nato into Asia
CNA evening news on 10 April 2025 Kotaro tamura lee kuan yew school of policy suggest a NATO in Japan. Asia + Asean do not need another Ukraine catalysis under military NATO Japan.
Mark Rutte runs a dysfunction and fragmented group where all it's leaders ie trump, macron, Meloni, Starmer, D tusk do not agree with each other. What gives him the rights to come to Asia and build a NATO military base not wanted by Russia, china, north Korea and Asean.
The Japanese and Europeans were ex Imperial powers and craving to be imperial powers again. The thing is that they are overrating themselves without knowing that they are now as good as Mickey Mouse states. What they forgot is that the victims of their invasion and massacres are waiting for a chance to do the same to them to avenge for the blood debt of millions of their people massacred by these barbarians.
And some silly Asean leaders are still foolishly inviting Japan to rule over Asean states, completely forgetting the cruelties of the barbaric Japanese.
Japan still owes a blood debt to China and ASEAN countries. This cannot be forgotten, which will be unforgiven by parents, grandparents and ancestors if present leaders go ahead to join NATO Asia.
