How is the US imposing a tax on their own companies and consumers (which only hurt said companies and consumers) a form of bullying against China?
I don't get it
I think you're smart enough to know it's an empty threat. Most of the world embargoed Russia, but it has essentially no effects (on day to day life) if people are fed, housed and there's electricity (Russia is a net concrete, food and power exporter).
China asked Walmart why they wanted Chinese suppliers to absorb tariff costs.
The domestic company pays the tax to the government, meaning the product or material is more expensive for them. This means they have less budget to purchase the product or material, which in turn means that they will be buying less of it from the international supplier, or else demanding renegotiation of the price to be lower. This causes a loss of profit for the supplier.
Or, you are purposely missing the lost likely outcome!
Turns out access to Coca-Cola and McDonalds wasn't so essential after all
Only because Russia transitioned to a war economy employing lot of males on war and war related industries. Also they inject a lot of money. The question is if they will be able to transition back
That's a factor but they already had the infra and resources for full self-reliance in place from the Soviet days. To plug any holes they didn't want to bother with themselves they simply turned to China and India. Their major weakness was a lack of financial infrastructure which could connect them to global trade.
In the early days of the war, Putin bent the knee and accepted that Russia would become a vassal to China in exchange for fully integrating their economy into the Chinese-built financial infrastructure which dominates most countries in SEA and East Asia
but it has essentially no effects
What the fuck are you talking about? Things have been getting worse and worse for them for the last two years.

Do you think Russian army getting more stuff makes the life of the average russian better?
I don't like it when idiots like you make me defend a country I despise, but the truth matters is important so here you go.
Population living under the poverty line:
2018: 12.6%
2019: 12.6%
2020: 12.1%
2021: 11%
2022: 9.8%
2023: 8.5%
2024: 7.2%
And since you obviously are a fucking idiot, I feel like I have to add that the number going down is not considered a bad thing.
Maybe Xi will finally do something and invade Taiwan and transitioning China into a war economy too, the world is really turning back into the 30s again
When a tariff is implemented, we feel its impact less than it should. Why? China has to eat a part of the tariff to keep demand for its export high. 20% was one thing, but 104% can lead to total chink annihilation.
Was it "bullying" when China lied about the costs of the AI breakthrough that temporarily make the US markets go down? Can they be bigger pussies? Is it possible?
So can we finally stop pretending tariffs don't work as an economic weapon against enemy states?
He will wait until the US has established domestic chip manufacturing. Then Taiwan will become a bargaining chip to be used by the US to achieve some other objective in their dealings with China
that temporarily make the US markets go down?
Sorry but your Treasury secretary Scott bessent told Tucker Carlson the reason stock markets crashed last week was because they're reacting to deepseek
I don't know about your average guy, but big money at least operated around that assumption. Besides, it's still a valid concern that goods will become more expensive. Exporting countries can't eat all the cost. The argument still remains that hurting other countries isn't worth us getting hurt.
You are a CHINK and possibly Jewish also
They died lol

It sort of is when you've been gradually losing influence to China. If you continued down the current path you would effectively be handing the crown over to China within 20 years.
Creating an environment where everybody gets punched, but your adverseries gets punched harder, means that at the end of the day you will be bruised, but still standing while your adverseries will be laying at your feet and no longer be a threat to you. Not exactly a rare geopolitical strategy
It's interesting how the Chinese and Jews are by far the most successful races of the 21st century and cause endless seething from everyone else
china should boost inner consumption with a stronger yuan now that theyre ahead but they probably wont do that.

China has to eat a part of the tariff to keep demand for its export high.
No you dumbfucks, it's because the importer generally can't raise prices by the actual tariffed amount without killing their business. So it's a business in the US eating that loss.
China isn't paying anything extra why is this so difficult
businesses raise prices to cover tariffs
less people buy as a result
producers counter by lowering prices, thus eating part of the tariff cost by proxy
People on this board really no longer understand basic supply and demand. Grim
So... China moved production to Vietnam to try to evade tariffs last time for no reason?
The exporter is already selling as cheap as he can while still turning a profit, he won't work at a deficit just so Jim McCletus can still get his cheap goods
this
Well then he goes out of business because people don't buy his stuff.
Better than working for a negative income
So let's say a 25% tariff would result in a 3% actual price increase for the customer and the Chinaman decides to eat that 3%
The American importer still suffers the vast majority of the tariff
It hurts them by hurting demand but tariffs in general are like shooting the other guy through your dick
tariffs on China are the only ones that make sense.
Chinks always play the long game. They'll wait until trump goes full schizo over greenland, canada and whatever else he saw on a map that day and start invading. so while EU and US is fighting he'll just swoop in and take Taiwan and if anyone complains he can just say "Yeah but if USA can invade..."
China dumping their US bonds before they matured and sanctioning the entire world on Rare Earths when that didn't make much of a dent was surprisingly panicky.
PPP
lol.lmao even.
not understanding bug mentality
everything is bullying china, literally taught to babies while they are still in the womb
still butt hort over some failed rebellion by boxers over 100 years later. Even though they were being repressed by Mongoloids at the time.
They, ie DeepSeek, didn't lie about anything. Americans misunderstood and overreacted because they are stupid.
The absolute hysterics in the markets following Deepseek shows how they were already on edge to begin with.
The markets overreacted then, and they've been overreacting now with these tariffs.
A major crisis was obviously brewing, and it looked like the bubble was going to burst big time very soon anyway.
Do NOT google "russia inflation" bro, don't do it bro, don't let your bubble pop we're winning hard bro
The domestic company pays the tax to the government, meaning the product or material is more expensive for them.
unless the foreign exporter adjusts their price to eat the majority of the tariff (which is what almost always happens). hope this helps!
or the domestic company becomes offshore and just trades with other countries and ignore the US lol
Mutts are angry over getting bested by China under the current global trade system (something they set up themselves) so now they are trying to crash the economy as revenge
