"Tariff war".... If Xi really wanted to fight Trump on tariffs, Xi could stop all ships coming here from Chyna for a couple weeks. The stores would be empty real quick.
Just a thought. I welcome discussion whether my thinking is wrong.
Edit: I am wrong! Stopping shipping is not feasible. However I still think Xi is working with Trump
Xi can't stop all ships from leaving China for the United States. It would bankrupt China within days. In other words, China would be killing itself in the war against the United States. The better response would be to flood the country with merchandise and maybe threaten to bomb Washington D.C.
It all rides on the world's reserve currency and it's next to worthless.
Who gave this quote?
I only know who improved it.
How would China survive if they stop selling shit to the US? To just stop all shipping would be an impractical step to take.
We often think in black and white, and that is not the way the world works. Extreme actions one way or another is not going to solve any problems.
Yeah true. Thanks to all the replies I got an education kek
first China is one of many places we get products
second, I don't think you understand how extensive are back supply at hub warehouses is.
third. for a short period of time we were not buying products because of high tariffs and played real havoc with there economy.
everyone needs to be verry weary of all this trump is working with other world leaders' crap that we see on line and especially from those who try and interpret the Q drops. the reason is that we have foreign intelligence operations that are posting propaganda in here. they are seeding this room with misinformation that it can use to take advantage of the United States
Xi is already getting a boatload of backlash from manufactures that are not moving product ...not that it is worth a shit anyway
I believe Xi is onboard. But they actually did have a big cargo stop. I think it was for a couple of weeks while the 100%+ tariffs were on. But economically, China is in deep trouble. They have been papering over a financial collapse for years. And the situation is getting worse all the time. So much of their growth was fake and tied to the huge US trade deficit, that the squeeze is on. Plus, a very large chunk of money is tied up in their corporate bonds which are totally worthless.
March 10th 2025 X was hacked. Many Patriots started to get swatted. I noticed by March 13, I was up to 6 people who followed me/and I them, get swatted. I mentioned it ( Hey watch out I am noticing a pattern God Bless) that Friday to some of my followers and was banned forever...
We are force-fed by the media to believe Putin is evil to the core; in truth, he is also at war with the one-world order machine.
Possible but only ~20% of all U.S. goods sold after import is 'made in China'. In no way would shelves look empty.
His economy is collapsing

I dont disagree but i can live without 99 percen t of what walmart sells. Why does t he do it? because like trump said. Chyna needs us more rhan we need them.
Logistically speaking china would have to stop all production and feed the workers for free . That's how much they produce in a couple weeks
But would they do it if they were in a trade war with USA?
No. They'd get a domestic revolt very quickly. The Chinese factories will close down with a few weeks of interrupted cash flow. If they don't ship, they don't get paid. No pay means massive layoffs. Massive layoffs mean local merchants stop selling because nobody can afford to buy.
They had huge problems when shipping was halted for Covid, literally struggling to keep order, workers going weeks and months without pay. They're still playing catch-up.
We saw the makings of a revolt this year with 100% tariffs. Xi had to make a deal in order to calm the masses.
Their warehouses are continually full , they could do it theoretically
This is like cutting off their
noseballs to spite their face...u/#WoahCat
