The idea of the US completely decoupling from China is more rhetoric than reality. Despite geopolitical tensions and efforts to reduce dependence, the economic ties between the two nations are too deep to sever without significant consequences. Here’s why:
1. Supply Chain Dependence The US relies heavily on Chinese manufacturing for everything from consumer electronics to critical components in defense systems. For instance, China supplies 80% of the rare earth minerals essential for US mi
🇨🇳🇬🇧SHEIN WANTS TO GO PUBLIC IN LONDON — BUT TRADE WARS AND TARIFFS ARE THROWING FITS
Shein just got the green light from UK regulators to go public, but between Trump’s China tariffs, disappearing duty-free perks, and Beijing’s approval drama, this IPO is basically walking a runway in a hurricane.
The $10-dress empire still needs China to say yes, even though it technically ditched its HQ for Singapore in 2022.
Also, fun fact: Shein doesn’t own any factories. It outsources to nearly 6,000 manufacturers and ships everything by air, one cheap outfit at a time.
Bottom line?
Shein’s trying to launch its stock while dodging tariffs, regulators, and PR nightmares, all in heels.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Chinese president Xi breaks silence, says Trump is bullying Europe and the entire world
“There are no winners in tariff wars. Going against peace means isolating yourself,” Xi said during a meeting in Beijing with Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez — one of the hardest-hit in this trade war.
The Chinese leader urged the EU to unite with Beijing against the U.S. president’s “unilateral intimidation.”
Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
