Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set.

Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Chinese don’t buy American goods in great quantities anyway, so this is not a big deal. The Chinese are too poor and too ethno-centric to want goods that aren’t made by Chinese.

China will lose this if it continues.

“Vietnam could totally replace China.”

indeed ... much is manufactured in vietnam already and vietnam is first in line to do a zero-tariff deal with the U.S., and clearly vietnam sees a YUGE opportunity in this situation!

Congress should simply pull China’s “Most Favored Nation” trading status.

Vietnam could totally replace China.

Plenty of manufacturing is leaving China, and Vietnam is one of the top destinations. Thailand, India, Bangladesh and Mexico too. All of these countries will be easier to deal with, and none of them have dreams of global domination.

I hope they can quickly output medical goods. Over 90% of medical supplies comes from China, thanks to Bill Clinton and his demo buddies. Most favored trading status, screw that.

China Trade has ALWAYS been a problem. We banned trade with China from 1949 to 1972.

According to Grok AI:

“As of the most recent data available in 2023, approximately 14.8% of China’s total exports go to the United States.”

I thought it was more too.

I thought India was dubbed as “the world pharmacy”. I saw almost all of the medication I am using was made in India.
