Why isn't China negotiating like pretty much everyone?

Do you think it's not fair to tax those who tax you?

China is playing hardball and they've got Trump figured out is my guess.

He should have gone after China with the allies we had. But no, dumbass had to fight with the entire world and further isolate us.

That was stupid, Rancy.

That was an excellent reply, dag damn it !

If we're looking at the "superpower"/hegemonic structure as it exists, China is our "enemy". He should have focused on China and did his damage. It would have hurt us too, but it would have destroyed China's economy. They are quite vulnerable.

But we need economic and political allies to have done that. I think it's too late now. At least for Trump. Our former allies no longer trust us either. He drove some countries to China...what a disaster that fucker is...

I've been seeing tons of videos of pissed off Chinese people angry because it makes a lot more sense to negotiate, since they're ones who profit more trading with the US

The feeling they have is that they need international commerce to stay strong, because all the taxes being collected from imports in China isn't really going to their pockets, but to the CCP

I agree with their perspective. However, they don't make policy, the CCP does.

Everyone in Brazil thought Trump was going to screw us royally because of our current government and the taxes they impose here in Brazil, which are among the highest in the world

But he didn't, because Brazil doesn't putt tariffs on the stuff that matters the most. Brazil buys a lot of heavy machinery and industrial devices from the US and those don't pay heavy taxes, only things you import for personal use, like something I buy from eBay or Bestbuy, for example
