  • Trump Hails Progress After First Day of US-China Trade Talks

    From msn.com

    Senior US and Chinese negotiators spent hours behind closed doors in Switzerland on Saturday as they held high-stakes talks that offer the clearest opportunity yet for the two countries to de-escalate their trade war, with President Donald Trump calling it a “very good” meeting. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are leading the negotiations expected to span two days in Geneva, marking the first publicized, in-person talks since President Donald Trump imposed 145% levies on China and Beijing retaliated with 125% tariffs on many American goods and new export controls on rare ...

Trump: A very good meeting today with China, in Switzerland. Many things discussed, much agreed to. A total reset negotiated in a friendly, but constructive, manner. We want to see, for the good of both China and the U.S., an opening up of China to American business. GREAT PROGRESS MADE! - Truth Social He was looking for a WAY OUT during his desperate attempts to bring China to the table over the past few weeks. Nice of China to give it to him since they always had the upper hand.
China never had an upper hand, as they export more to the USA than US exporting to them. Which means USA is a big consumer, and if they close the door, China would be in a big trouble. They already are in economical fall down, because as soon as tariffs hit, they closed some of their manufacturing and they do feel it. There is one thing where China has one communist government and are forcing their people to do cheap labor, and totally exporting out is the other thing. If USA closes the door, China data would go into red. We do not need China things in North America. I live in Canada and we do not want their products. IF you go to the markets, most of Canadians avoid their products, we really do not need their products.

{quote} USA just 15% of chinas worldwide export market so I'm sure XI's new friend putin will make up some of that slack and buy their cheap shit and other african and s.american countries will also so what are the Chinese gona lose...maybe 5% of their exports? they can divert shipments to other countries if we wont buy their stuff {image}
Ok so why they don't just "divert" and tell USA we are done. What do you think this is a movie? Where have you been all these years. Who is going to take that extra 15% if USA says we are not taking your stuff anymore? Does Africa have that kind of money? Do you understand that USA is biggest consumer in the world. Who is going to buy that China crap? You need to learn a lot about economy and financial system. Zebi "Trump" Zebi.

Chinese troops march with Russian forces as Xi joins Putin for Victory Day parade
https://www.theguardian.com/weather/...ory-day-parade

you really shud stop sharing trumps crack pipe LOL

do you think XI was at the parade cause he gives a shit about russias contribution in ww2 or do you think he was making trade deals with the russians for them to take a portion of shipments that were meant for the usa?

even if our dickhead makes a deal anytime soon much of chinas goods will be going to other countries now and we'll still have shortages and high prices
