Beijing Denounces Trump’s Use of “Coercive Tariffs” to Pressure Global South to Isolate China

Jump

  • That's exactly what China is doing though. This is classic reverse psychology. USA hasn't even got a single trade deal, this is just China reminding everyone how stupid USA threats are.

    • Trump announces 50% tariff on Brazil over Bolsonaro trial, 'unfair' trade

    Jump

  • It's more insane than that. 55% is only on certain items from China. Most are at 35%. So effectively Brazil would be higher. The craziest is they're higher for purposes of political interference from USA...

  • I see USA solving it's problems with their ancient traditions and sensibilities. Slavery. I'd say I'm surprised, but uh...

  • Oh jeez my bad. Anyway I actually hope William lai negotiates with China. China is clearly trying to buy time now and drag out negotiations to let the KMT get more power. I'd rather William negotiate as I think he'll get a better deal.

  • You brought up the second paragraph. You brought up Taiwan. I'm just calling KMT pro-China to be aggressive with you. But your actually right, I am surprised you knew even that much.

    Edit I accidentally hit send. Here's the merger talk

    I mean to say knew that much about the kmt

  • Except even the president of Taiwan has already said he is willing to negotiate a merger. And the KMT is gaining in popularity, the pro-China party. Why would an invasion even be in the cards? Oh wait, you think that because you don't actually know what's going on in Taiwan at all but keep speaking for us.

    • China tells EU it can’t accept Russia losing its war against Ukraine, official says

    Jump

  • Kallas, the person sitting across the table literally said a few months ago that the EU will turn on China after taking care of Russia. Wang Yi is just saying USA because the US is even more blatant. Why, if you were China would you let Russia lose if everyone on the other side of that table keeps saying they're going after you once Russia is done?

    • China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

    Jump

  • Not maybe, Wang Yi literally said we cannot let Russia lose because the US will pivot to China. It's a not subtle way of saying if you guys keep talking about taking out China, we obviously won't help you.

    Jump

  • As I said EU leaders, it's obviously not just Kallas. But really China's simply trying to create a rift with the US and EU. With Trump, they're hoping there's an opening. They don't really care if the EU supports China, they just hope they see the US as toxic. Which is why Wang Yi said China can't let Russia lose because USA will pivot to Asia, they want to make clear that is toxic thinking.

  • Well, this puts us well out of the realm of is what China saying evil, it's not it's just telling the EU to choose. And instead into the realm of grand strategy of nations. I would love to continue the conversation, but this will be rife with opinions and wild inaccuracies. I don't agree with what your saying but for me to explain would be long, as well as I can't be sure I am right.

    Jump

  • Ok well we are talking in the context of if true then EU should x. Well it's only true if the EU continues to want to confront China. China is simply saying that's up to you

    Jump

  • Again, this is in the context of Obama's pivot to Asia. China sees what your saying as excuses and wants the EU to prove their not just following US orders. Which you've said over and over again they won't decouple so China doesn't believe them.

    • China's foreign minister tells EU that Beijing cannot afford Russia to lose in Ukraine, media reports

    Jump

  • Ok, we were talking about why China said what they said. It's not some evil reason or an excuse to invade Taiwan. It's simply if your going to threaten us as next, then we will support Russia. Whatever reason the EU has to not abandon the raving lunatic in USA is not China's problem.

  • Did you not understand, that's exactly the offer China is giving the EU in this statement. Abandon the US and we can talk about abandoning Russia.

  • Really? You call a person literally threatening China and now sitting across the table a pacifist? You got a weird definition there buddy. I'll take the side of the country that hasn't been involved in a conflict for over 40 years.

  • Oh God that's a lot of words that China doesn't care about. If you tell China that China's next after Russia, yeah China's gonna help Russia. Seems obvious. Why should China care why NATO?
