Please. You was pissin' & moanin' about the 10% this morning, Winester.
the PRC withstood ~2 years of zero COVID policies, they can surely withstand Donald Trump's dementia as long as necessary
but the US can't withstand empty shelves and mass unemployment
so Dumb Donny backed down
The 10% is still there. That 10% you took a fit over just this morning.
thinking the Chinese people couldn't outlast flabby Americans like Donald.
All Donald can do is fold over more for Xi.

...
Previously, Griffin said, “no brand compared” to US Treasurys, the strength of the US dollar, or the nation’s creditworthiness. But Trump’s tactics have “eroded” that reputation.
“We put that brand at risk,” the billionaire hedge fund manager said. “It can be a lifetime to repair the damage that has been done.”
Investors have dumped US stocks and Treasurys in recent weeks in response to Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs on imports to the US. While most countries have been granted a 90-day reprieve, Trump has increased duties on China and suggested he might fire Jerome Powell, the respected governor of the US Federal Reserve. (Trump walked back those comments, saying he has no plans to remove Powell.)
Using the euro as a reference, the US “has become 20% poorer in four weeks,” Griffin said, an environment that produces no winners or bright spots.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-...ican-bullying/China says it wants to partner with Canada to push back against American ‘bullying’
OTTAWA — China’s ambassador says Beijing is offering to form a partnership with Canada to push back against American “bullying,” suggesting the two countries could rally other nations to stop Washington from undermining global rules.
“We want to avoid the situation where humanity is brought back to a world of the law of the jungle again,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Di told The Canadian Press in a wide-ranging interview.
“China is Canada’s opportunity, not Canada’s threat,” he said through the embassy’s interpreter.
Wang — whose office requested the interview with The Canadian Press — said that China and Canada appear to be the only countries taking “concrete and real countermeasures against the unjustified U.S. tariffs” imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“We have taken notice that, faced with the U.S.’s unilateral bullying, Canada has not backed down,” he said. “Instead, Canada is standing on the right side of the history, on the right side of international fairness and justice.”

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tru...tics-1.7516951Trump reinserts himself into Canadian politics, saying 'as a state, it works great'
Days before the federal election and after more than a week without commenting on Canada, U.S. President Donald Trump resurfaced his 51st state rhetoric Wednesday afternoon and suggested he could further raise auto tariffs.
The president was speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, when he repeated his false claim that the United States "subsidizes" Canada to the tune of $200 billion US a year.
"I have to be honest, as a state it works great," Trump said. "Ninety-five per cent of what they do is they buy from us and they sell to us."
The comments come as the Canadian federal election had become less focused on U.S. economic and sovereignty threats and as the Liberal lead over the Conservative Party has tightened in the past week.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/23/sout...s-q1-2025.htmlSouthwest to cut flights this year, pulls guidance, citing ‘macroeconomic uncertainty’
Southwest Airlines said Wednesday that it will reduce its capacity in the second half of the year, as more signs point to weaker domestic bookings this year.
The airline said it expects unit revenue to be flat to down as much as 4% in the second quarter from a year earlier. Southwest said it is not reaffirming its guidance for earnings before interest and taxes for 2025 and 2026.
“Amid the current macroeconomic uncertainty, it is difficult to forecast given recent and short-lived booking trends,” Southwest said in a securities filing.
United Airlines and Delta Air Lines earlier this month announced plans to scale back their domestic capacity in the second half of the year. Delta also pulled its full-year forecast while United provided two forecasts, calling the U.S. economy “impossible” to predict.

...
Sentiment about the year ahead fell sharply, reaching the lowest level since July 2022 and the second-lowest since September 2020.
Meanwhile, prices charged for goods and services "rose at the sharpest rate for just over a year," S&P Global said in a release. Manufactured goods saw an "especially steep increase," associated with higher tariffs.
"The early flash PMI data for April point to a marked slowing of business activity growth at the start of the second quarter, accompanied by a slump in optimism about the outlook," said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. "At the same time, price pressures intensified, creating a headache for a central bank which is coming under increasing pressure to shore up a weakening economy just as inflation looks set to rise."

Chinese Factories Slow Production and Send Workers Home as US Tariffs Bite
"Factories in China have begun slowing production and furloughing some workers as the trade war unleashed by Trump dries up orders for products ranging from jeans to home appliances. With most Chinese goods now facing US Duties of at least 145%, some factory owners say American customers have cancelled or suspended orders, forcing them to cut production. "

Again, brave TSA thinks the Chinese could never stand any amount of difficulty and simultaneously celebrates Trump's folding at a rise in bond rates.
Trump is bringing more investment into the USA in 5 months than Biden did in his entire term. So yeah, cool story bro.
