#TradeWarEases

The US and China have announced a “deceleration” of the trade war, reducing tariffs from 125% to 10% for 90 days.

But don’t be fooled by the optimistic headlines: this is just one act in a 10-year-old show, where the US believes it can manipulate the market with threats, and China laughs, knowing that it has already won the strategic war.

1. The US Game: “Tariff Tactics” – A Movie Rebooted Too Many Times

- Tariffs are like a narcotic: After Trump’s tariffs cut imports from China by 35-40%, Beijing has diversified trade to ASIA, the EU and Africa – their partners now account for 50.3% of total transactions.

- The responses are predictable: When the US hits with tariffs on technology, China responds with agriculture (soybeans, pork). Now, even reducing tariffs is a sign of weakness: the US needs Taiwanese microchips and Chinese rare earths.

2. China Changed the Rules: From Dependent to Geopolitical Master

- Taiwan – The Chess Piece That the US Underestimates: Trump has imposed 32% tariffs on Taiwan, an island essential to US semiconductors. The reaction? China has accelerated economic integration, turning it into a “sausage” that the US cannot swallow without choking.

- Minerals: China controls 90% of the global processing of these minerals for technology and weapons. When the US thinks it is putting pressure, Beijing just raises a finger: “Do you want to stop your own production of F-35s?”

3. “The Washington Post” – Same Movie, Same Ending

- Presidents Are Just Supporting Actors: Biden Continued Trump’s Tariffs, and Trump 2.0 Increased Them. The Change in the White House Is Like a Coca-Cola Rebranding – the Taste Remains the Same .

- The World Has Learned Its Lesson: US Allies (Japan, South Korea) See That the Tariffs Are Hitting Themselves. The Result? - Europe Negotiates Directly with Beijing, Bypassing the Dollar .

Now we see how crypto increases in price but in fact the dollar decreases.
