Trump awarded himself the Piss Prize for wining trade wars

Trade war and tariffs on China were used to try to collapse China, and both were colossal failures. How could it be called a success when China still chalked up a trade surplus of US$1.2 trillion, thanks to the Global South?

Both the above attempts to do China in were started by Trump - trade war during his first term and tariffs in his present term. Even sanctions against Huawei, with doggies being forced to pull down Huawei infrastructures, fail to destroy Huawei and instead made it stronger. In the EV arena, trying to keep Chinese EVs out of the USA did not help the USA Internal Combustion Engine vehicle manufacturers or ICE vehicle manufacturers (not the ICE agency of goons created by Trump by the way).

Is the USA winning on AI now. The verdict is still out, but China has the great advantage of cheap energy, though lacking in high end hardware but is distinctly catching up. China has in fact now stopped the Nvidia H200 chips from entering the Chinese market, so figure it out.

Energy is a vital factor in AI and data centers, and the USA may try to corner the fossil fuel resources, but building up the infrastructures to produce the energy requirements is far behind China and that is a problem. Even Jensen Huang foresaw the issue. But let the gloating, grandstanding and shouting on dung heaps continue. Reality is always different from fantasy.
