The best part about it is that almost no US tech would work without Taiwan's chips

Oh and that China somehow did not get angry at that publicly as of yet, very weird

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 188 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

At this point in time, China is just sitting back and laughing as Trump weaken the US.

Remember, don't correct an enemy as they are making a mistake.

For all it's flaws, the TPP was about to effectively zone China out of trading advantageously with the whole developed world. Now, US instability and bullying have made Japan and South Korea partner with China.

Trump is handing China the 21st century on a silver platter.

Imagine being such a clown that Japan, China and SKorea unite against you lmao

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did Japan and SK actually announce collaboration with China, or was it only China that said that they are working together?

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 week ago

They held a rare trade talk, but the announcement came from Chinese state media.

Critical support to Trump in his struggle against US hegemony.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The TPP still exists. The USA backed out of it, but the USA doesn't matter anymore.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

And the US was the problem with it to begin with

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

It's also quite ironic that originally China's low wages were seen as the core problem/reason how they could offer products so cheaply.
But the way Trump is destroying things the need for low US wages will come up again...

Alas, of course everything across the board will get more expensive with his tariffs, from vegetables, to electronics, energy and housing, so the common worker will be screwed and locked in his situation, preferably unable to go on strike.

They're patiently waiting for the value of American businesses crash hard to buy it for cheap

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm sure they rationally assume Trump is totally unfamiliar with that policy.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like Russia is laughing, and China and America are both the crying wojak with the smirk mask.

[–] napoleonsdumbcousin@feddit.org 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's because the DOGE morons used TLD codes to make the list.

China is just going triple the price of everything and blame the tariffs for it.
