He should ask his elected representatives to negotiate. Oops, no elected representatives.

He stole that product from an American entrepreneur who researched it and created the market for it.

Hey, BBC...

Where’s the pity party for the thousands of NYS dairy farmers who’ve gone under thanks, at least in part, to Canada’s tariffs on dairy?!

Literally don’t care, his government used tariffs and manipulated their currency to steal those businesses away from America. China has been running an economic shadow war on the US for years.

They deserve literally no sympathy and no economic mercy.

I’ve said it before - and yes I know some disagree with me. This is sad. I don’t enjoy seeing common people in China suffer (lose jobs, go bankrupt, etc) because of the decoupling from China. Most people there are decent folks and I have no ill will against them.

The above being said, our first priorities MUST be on taking care of OUR people and looking after OUR national security. That means we need to restore our manufacturing base and we need to put tens of millions of our people back to work in jobs that will afford them solid middle class lifestyles.

Its really that simple.

remember all the sob stories about americans losing their manufacturing jobs to china, and the stories about american inventors who’s intellectual property was stolen by china? Neither do I.

The MSM are domestic enemies.

"This is so hard for us," he adds.

May this be the first in the Domino Effect. Xi might win a few battles up front but he can't hold off billions of Chicoms for long.

I just made this comment on another thread but it is applicable here as well:

I don’t see any way out of this for China except the collapse of their economy, the Xi government—and maybe even a reformation of the CCP itself.

This isn’t just a case of China “taking advantage” of the West. Their entire economy has been built on theft and dishonesty. Cut off the IP theft, forced tech transfers, and access to U.S. capital—and their model collapses.

That’s why Xi hasn’t responded positively to Trump’s tariffs. He knows Trump isn’t bargaining for fairer trade terms—he’s targeting the foundation of China’s economic power. Xi’s system doesn’t survive under fair trade rules. It only thrives on exploitation—and that’s what Trump is ending.

The real question now is: how will Xi and the CCP respond? Is there any reformist force left within the Party that could shift China back toward Deng’s path of market-oriented pragmatism? Or has Xi’s centralization made that impossible?

Dear Mr Xu. The USA is less than 5% of the world’s population yet you claim it is 50% of your sales. Seems like you need to do a better job of marketing to the rest of the planet.
