After rolling back tariffs on laptops and electronics by calling it a reprieve, which most had looked upon as a backtrack and failure by Trump, he is now reported to be going back again to look at what items really to exempt, just to save face amid the confusion. Laptops are laptops and electronic equipment are also electronic equipment by any other name, so what is there to reconsider?
Trump has again reiterated that nobody is going to escape his wonderful tariffs, and he mentioned China in particular. Now, did Xi called him to beg him to exempt laptops and electronic equipment that he needs to mention China in particular as not going to escape as well? Is the mention of China meant to frighten Xi, who is as calm as ever, and now visiting Vietnam Cambodia and Malaysia, unlike the situation in the Trump administration not knowing how to deal with a problem they themselves started.
Chinese manufacturers are just brushing aside the tariff threat and taking them in their stride. They lose a little, but China is playing the long game. That is not the case with the USA consumers though, who will be paying more and possibly even unable to buy any cheaper products as China is now really serious about decoupling completely from the USA, rather than having provocations by the USA over and over again.
And that spells good news for the Global South, with even cheaper products from China to be enjoyed. Would the Global South be calling it a blessing in disguise?

When Trump calls Xi, Xi should say 'can't talk now, I'm travelling'.
According to reports, Trump did call Xi, but Xi refused to answer his calls. This is what is making Trump really going bonkers, not knowing what else to do.
Who has ever heard of a country imposing 245% tariffs on another. This is making decoupling a done deal, which suits China fine.
245% to be borne by their own Americunts if they still import from China!
Not to worry, China no need your 15% World Trade. They had 85% other Countries Trade.
Next few days or weeks, the Hillibilles shall bring out their Rifles, Guns and Submachine and Fullmachine Guns and start shooting their own for survivals.

No No Dotard Called and said Xi apologies.
Listen for yourselves
Aiyo Xi no face ah!
Xi apologies? Was that added to save face for Trump?
The bimbo spokesperson of the White House may even spin that the penguins called to beg Trump for a meeting, LOL. Now, no one can dispute that, since the penguins cannot speak but squawk only.
Trade between China and USA effectively ended weeks ago when Trump imposed tariffs of 145% on China imports. That was more like a trade embargo, ending all trade, and China knows there is no longer any point to negotiate.
Trump can now impose tariffs of 2,450% on China and it means nothing.
Please remember Trump cannot count past 10, the number of fingers he has.
This is why many people are saying that Trump does not know how tariffs work. He only knows it is a 'beautiful word'. That is as much as what he knows about tariffs.
And he is brandishing tariffs like a broadsword in front of Guan Yu (Xi), the legendary warrior during the Three Kingdoms period.
Yes. Xi did apologize. He said " Sorry, I am unable to pickup your call. Now busy traveling. Goodbye"
