Trump shouted that China "deserved" to pay for the 145% tariff, but the economic reality and expert analysis are very different, and the economies of both countries are suffering from the chain reaction of policies. (Previous story: Trump’s first 100 days in office have put a red flag on his administration! His approval rating is less than 40%, the worst for a U.S. president in 80 years. Will the tariff war really make America great again?) (Background: What’s next for Musk after he quits DOGE? Trump pushes OPM to “emphasize loyalty to the president” and continue to fire redundant federal employees) U.S. President Trump once again launched his offensive against China with strong remarks. In an earlier interview with ABC News, he insisted that China’s high tariffs were “its own fault” and that China earned huge profits from the United States every year and was able to withstand losses. But at the same time, Trump has publicly stated several times earlier that he "gets along very well with China" and that a fair agreement may be reached in the future. His negotiation tactics, which are a mixture of extreme pressure and goodwill, are aimed at gaining more bargaining chips, but they also make the prospects for U.S.-China relations more confusing. The economic truth about tariffs: Both countries bear heavy costs. Although Trump advocates that China bear all tariffs, mainstream economists say that high tariffs will actually be borne by American importers or consumers. First, importers need to pay the US government. Although part of the cost can be absorbed by Chinese manufacturers, most of it will eventually be reflected in US market prices, affecting consumers and related industries. At the same time, China also imposed retaliatory tariffs of up to 125% on US products, which means that companies in both countries face losses. According to estimates by the Tax Foundation, a 145% tariff on China in 2025 would significantly shrink U.S. imports, leaving the country focused on other trading nations, and bring in at least about $166.6 billion in short-term tax revenue, while U.S. GDP would decrease by 0.2% due to countermeasures. In terms of negotiations, China insists that the United States must withdraw its unilateral tariffs first, and the two sides have been unable to engage in active negotiations. Changes in U.S.-China trade policies are profoundly affecting the global economic order. Are high tariffs a bargaining chip or a lose-lose situation? How the two countries adjust their policies in the future will affect the direction of world economic and trade development, and it is worthy of our continued attention and reflection. Not sorry to allies such as Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. In addition, when Trump was interviewed by The Atlantic Monthly earlier this week, he was asked whether the United States was unfair to its allies such as Taiwan, Japan and South Korea?He arrogantly stated that there was no need to apologize, saying that the United States had been treated badly by other countries for a long time and did not need to apologize to any country because their prosperity was built on sacrificing American interests. "I want to protect America." Related reports: US senators call for Trump's removal: $TRUMP meme coin "selling out the White House backdoor" is illegal and reaches the threshold for impeachment.
