The best part about it is that almost no US tech would work without Taiwan’s chips
Oh and that China somehow did not get angry at that publicly as of yet, very weird
At this point in time, China is just sitting back and laughing as Trump weaken the US.
Remember, don’t correct an enemy as they are making a mistake.
For all it’s flaws, the TPP was about to effectively zone China out of trading advantageously with the whole developed world. Now, US instability and bullying have made Japan and South Korea partner with China.
Trump is handing China the 21st century on a silver platter.
Imagine being such a clown that Japan, China and SKorea unite against you lmao
Did Japan and SK actually announce collaboration with China, or was it only China that said that they are working together?
They held a rare trade talk, but the announcement came from Chinese state media.

Critical support to Trump in his struggle against US hegemony.
The TPP still exists. The USA backed out of it, but the USA doesn’t matter anymore.
It’s also quite ironic that originally China’s low wages were seen as the core problem/reason how they could offer products so cheaply.
But the way Trump is destroying things the need for low US wages will come up again…Alas, of course everything across the board will get more expensive with his tariffs, from vegetables, to electronics, energy and housing, so the common worker will be screwed and locked in his situation, preferably unable to go on strike.
I’m sure they rationally assume Trump is totally unfamiliar with that policy.
They’re patiently waiting for the value of American businesses crash hard to buy it for cheap
I feel like Russia is laughing, and China and America are both the crying wojak with the smirk mask.
He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.
That’s because the DOGE morons used TLD codes to make the list.
China is just going triple the price of everything and blame the tariffs for it.
It could help with global warming by decreasing consumption.
looking for a silver lining… good on you friend. thank you for the perspective shift
lol. That’s what the new coal mines are for, silly! The children yearn for the mines… https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/climate/trump-order-coal-mining.html
sorry, my family only uses all natural bone coal
Other than the crippling economic crisis it’s putting us through, I really like that things in the grocery store are better labelled to show they’re local or Canadian now. I’ve always preferred to buy local because it’s better for the environment, now it’s easier.
Yep, because Taiwan is a country, and the real China.
China is West Taiwan
The USA is west Cuba
USA is East Alaska.

Ew. You stink
I said that in a thread the first day felon 47 showed us that .
I said this “New headline. Trump tariffs confirm Taiwan sovereignty.”
He had some things like that his first term too. I’m pretty sure he does just to piss China off. He’s not really interested in helping Taiwan.
Oh I know. I’m pretty sure though he doesn’t understand why it pisses china off.
Putting tariffs on Taiwan is the first step to making them reconcile with China.
Cambodia at 97% highlights how fucking moronic this all is. Let me reindustrialize the economy by cutting off our raw inputs.
A reconciliation goes both ways; that is, both parties are happy.
If that’s the case, then my post still stands.
yeah, sure. reminds me of this nonsense
I wasn’t trying to debate your point.
Why would Taiwan reconcile with China, dude?
Better trade relations if we keep imposing tariffs on them, obv.
Or were you asking why the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China would ever have anything to reconcile over?

Taiwan could invade PRC and he’d only have a minimal idea of what’s going on.
Well that’s because they’re different regi–… oh it says Countries
Yes, countries like the EU, which is also on the list.
Bro looks like a corpse
The EU. Everyone’s favourite country.
EUSSR, the country of healthcare and public transport.
Jealous :P
And one more to the Mueller stack
Russia received no additional tariffs
Russia is already on its own “special list” of countries that have very heavy trade restrictions. Like North Korea.
I don’t think tariffs would’ve made a difference there.
Trump imposed tariffs on uninhabited islands near Antarctica, but not Russia.
Yeah but that’s out of incompetence, not malice. You’re in most cases not allowed to trade with Russia due to sanctions, so what is there to tariff?
Wtf is the Mueller stack?
xi is gonna be pissed both that they recognize taiwan and that they charge them less
Im suprised taiwan is so high
His “math” for calculating each is surprisingly simple and not based on anything “reciprocal” https://youtu.be/j04IAbWCszg
The REAL reason China slapped the US with those reciprocal tariffs.
offtopic: why do i feel like palantir has a lot to do with this current administration’s policies
I’m sure they have their own perverse AI calling all the shots
?
