East Asia Tonight: China reacts to Trump's tariff threat, saying it is open to dialogue with the US

[@liarliar3412]

Tariffs? China nears record $1 trillion trade surplus.

[@immortalideas-fi6kj]

Huh, so called Philippines is screwed forever.

[@xxoo-lp6vc]

😅 the other name of tariff is consumer tax.

[@timothychung4811]

They're so broke that the only way to apply tax to their people is to creatively reword it into a tariff.

[@daimos6686]

They would save more money from stopping buying garbage products from China. 😂😂😂

[@nightowl4121]

I was paying close attention to the Filipinos reporter, but ended up non the wiser, because I am completely lost through her rambling. Could this be another destraction from Jr Macos's own political turmoil with his other rivalry Duterte's family? The latter makes more sense than the "malign" influence as claimed. Unfortunately, this particular host has never been provened to asking tough question.

[@ptan4120]

"detail revealed is scant". Can't believe that CNA would go so low to report such news.

[@daoistwanderer2671]

Agree. Substandard.

[@wsmithe2209]

Can't call that news, it's back alley gossip.

Are they sure CNA is not CNN?

中国应该加速去美元，美元购买力太强是中国人活的累的主要原因，为了赚点美元，企业不注重国内市场，不注重节假日和薪资公平，因为美元汇率高。去美刀，恢复RM币对美刀正常的价值，企业也就不用费劲赚美元，为了国内消费，也会注重节假日和薪资公平了。

Trump should first explain this - he lost the 1st trade/tariff war with China right Insanity is doing the same thing (trade war) again expecting different result aka success is a pipe dream 🤣

[@Russellviews]

He didn't lose.

[@KevinEskoloso-zk2bj]

Well because china release Wuhan virus to fight trump that's why 😂

[@kingseiryu929]

@@Russellviewswhen you initiate a trade war, the main objective is to demolish the growth of the opponent. China recorded positive gdp growth in those trade war years. There is impact for sure but not enough to break them In that regard, he lost the war because main objective is not achieved Also, US lost jobs. China counter tariffed their agriculture industry and trump had to issue a 12bn assistance package You can google to check

DT : 😅20% tariff on all friend countries.. CAN UK EU MAX SING....etc

[@pkwong1940]

Why just tariffs?. By all means de-couple!

[@KevinOge-ms4by]

Guess who will be paying for the tariffs? Tariffs are a tax. They will be passed on to the US consumer by business.

[@ahnandsrisvanksuk9919]

Today is okay!

[@Russellviews]

Tariffs for dummies. USA is worlds largest consumer, larger than 2nd place Europe by 2X.On the world stage, if you are not selling to USA, you are not doing well. USA can buy from ANY nation. Other nations MUST sell to USA, as we are worlds ONLY largest consumer. WHen US raises tariffs, nations selling to us MUST sell cheaper, or we will buy from another nation. . If our tariffs seem too high, other nations do NOT have another largest consumer to sell to. get it?????

[@NoFrillz-G]

The only caveat is the American consumers base is underwater. The entire US govt is underwater and relies on enormous debt leveraging just to live another day. The Americans are living on a maxed out credit card. You start adding a tariff on their products won’t ignore the fact that Americans are paying for their product with IOUs. American by large are broke ass, fatherless and more recently refusing to get their edumacation. I mean I would too if I had to learn same sex relationships are great and how great the nation is. God bless America.

[@jacklol9026]

it took a google search to show that the American import volume is NOT larger than Europe by 2x. In fact, Germany alone already had half the import volume of the states www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/imports/country-comparison/

[@johnliew3437]

On the pretext protecting the manufacturers or rather the economy, he threatened to impose high tariff on cheap imported consumer goods. If he is successful, the consumers must ask where did the money go? Consumers shouldn't be fooled by such rhetoric. Modern politicians are very talented, just have to be aware.

[@vincecarlo]

Just like The " HIDDEN " Multi Level Taxation in SG

When I can smell @AhmetTekin101 and @ArabicReja973 BS! 💩, I’ll come to refresh the air. 🌻 Have you heard of inflation? Tariffs are not the solution-they can contribute to inflation, increasing the prices of goods and services over time. This may lead to decreased consumer confidence, a decline in the value of savings, and overall economic instability, ultimately impacting the global economic environment. Be careful what you wish for-you might just get it, along with unexpected consequences. Hey Ahmet…Your mum is so stupid, she got kicked out of the Paralympics 🍌🐒

[@Mrhawklanz]

Then Singapore should work with the Trump administration and lower tariff with Singapore. Why is Singapore interest in China. Are our politicians so stupid. I'd rather have Trump in charge because the alternative is WW3. And that will destroy every economy in the world. We've had enough of inflation! Work for your citizens! If he can be America first, Singapore can be Singaporeans first too. Make deals with him. Buy American oil! Bring prices down.

That’s the dumbest decision for SG to do just that , leaping into the U.S. trap wholesale, esp, in that part of the world, would be playing with fire which would get SG badly burned eventually.!! SG needs to keep on the middle lane to survive.!

[@ArabicReja973]

To address *Chinese 🇨🇳 unfair trade practices* and trade imbalances, President Trump is mandated to impose at least 60% tariffs on all Chinese products. - This is applicable for those that come directly from China or go through sea ports funded by China. - In addition, Mr. Trump will force China to honor its signature for the Phase-1 agreement.
