The resilience of the Chinese people is indeed very high, with strong perseverance. Even in the face of short-term unemployment and pay cuts, they will definitely seek other opportunities. In contrast, people in Europe and America have a long-standing sense of superiority and a nature of democracy, making it harder for them to cope with loss of benefits. In the long run, both sides will incur losses; it just depends on which country's people can endure more hardship.

The China-U.S. tariff war escalates! China strikes back to take the lead, while American consumers are the first to suffer!

Why does China dare to respond strongly to Trump's tariff threats?

The core reason: Americans cannot live without Chinese goods, while China does not rely on American products.

When China takes action, the U.S. immediately feels the pinch.

The most imported items from China to the U.S. are daily consumer goods like mobile phones, computers, game consoles, furniture, clothing, and toys.

If a 54% tariff is imposed on these types of products, the impact will be directly felt on supermarket shelves, hitting the wallets of ordinary people first.

China's reliance on American products is minimal.

China mainly imports liquefied gas, chips, and other industrial raw materials from the U.S., which consumers hardly perceive.

In other words, while the U.S. wants to leverage consumers, China simply does not buy into it.

Global supply chain: It's hard for the U.S. to turn away.

For most products, the U.S. relies on China as its primary supplier.

Except for engines and soybeans, the influence of U.S. exports to China is extremely weak.

Looking for alternative countries? Not only are they expensive and slow, but they may not even exist.

Conclusion

China's choice to retaliate is not reckless, but rather a precise strike.

When the U.S. dares to wield the tariff stick, China dares to make you pay out of your own pocket.

The ones truly under pressure are not Chinese manufacturers, but the lives of American citizens.
