Trump continues to attack China endlessly after the trade deal in South Korea. When is China going to learn not to have false hope on terrorists?

The trade war had been ongoing for seven long years, since January 2018. Did China collapse? China just chalked up a US$1.2 trillion trade surplus for 2025, that is giving some countries greenish eye sores. The Chinese have used the seven years since January 2018 to broaden their trade links and open up more markets among countries in the Global South, while Trump and his sidekicks, Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick, were using the time to brag about tariffs crippling China. Day in and day out both were shouting into the echo-chamber and listening happily to their echoes pretending that all is rosy and going according to plan.

What about the USA side that started the trade war? Did the USA farmers found themselves pushed to the wall, needing Government subsidies? For how long? How many farms have filed for bankruptcy? The USA even had to try to sneak soya bean shipments, using fake Brazilian certificate of origin, to get into China and were caught. What about USA ICE vehicle manufacturers? Are they enjoying themselves after forcing the Dutch doggie pirates to seize Nexperia? Now the Dutch do not know what to do with the Nexperia shell, sending feelers about giving it back to China, which I believe China is no more interested. After all, did not the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs, Vincent Karremans, boasted that he will do it again? He thinks that the Chinese are foolish enough to get caught a second time.

Chinese Vice Premier, He Lifeng, now at the World Economic Forum in Davos, admitted to the audience about China's trade surplus of US$1.2 trillion, saying that it was not China's objective to aim for gigantic trade surpluses, but achieved them naturally because China was able to sell more to others, while some countries and doggies, that they controlled, were forbidden to sell to China products that China wanted, which could have brought down the trade imbalance. Who created that scenario, and who is now resorting to blaming others for their own foot shooting policies and practices?
