Politic playing at the extreme will have no logical explanation and cannot b explained or reasoned unless u r the one who is playing with the fire.

when people use artillery and plane to bomb your ground. you dig deep into the ground to shield from the bombing.
in trade when people attack with tariffs. not easy to fight back with tariffs. with populations of 1400m versus 348m. get china populations to spend more. that can only happen when people has money. money not as good as voucher as money will be save. voucher has to spend or expired. initial push is needed to create the motion to spend. tax will collect back the money.
since goods trade cannot go in. then get us people to go china to spend. ie increase service trade from us.
then reduce china service trade to us by delay issue of visa.

People who spin this sort of story aren't even making sense. If the plan was to target China all along, then just target China all the way. What would be the point of pissing off everyone, using up all your international credibility, destroying all your alliances, causing your own economic / financial instability?
So that they can "trick" China to up the ante? China would have up the ante with them anyway as their position has been very consistent since day 1 of Trump's threats.
So that they can raid other countries / force them to side with US? Then you whack them and release only after you get their surrender, not chicken out a few hours later and then now try to get the goodies? Who are you kidding?
What will happen now is China will continue to up the ante, all these other countries will wayang continue to negotiate with Trump but then refuse to offer anything substantial. Why should they? US basically chickened out in hours.
This sort of low level kindergarten crap wouldn't even work in office politics between a junior supervisor and his blue collar subordinate and this is supposed to be a demonstration of 4D Chess grand strategy Art of the Deal!?
The worst thing is they cannot even agree on how to spin this. The White House bureaucrats claim this is 4D chess and has been the plan all along, Trump says he was acting on his killer instinct by observing the financial markets in the morning.

China is no longer the China of 2008. It has to realise it will need help to resolve its debt problem in the private sectors. US tariffs going to make hell.

XJP may back down or double down by massively devaluating the Yuan in which case wily Trump may nuke'em with 400%
The Art of the Deal is to come to the negotiating table.. a point lost in the heat of war
Hello ... 100% already killed you mean 400% kill more! Doesn't make sense?
Imagine an apple cost $1 now cost $2.25 you mean you will buy?! If I won't buy a $2.25 apple what makes you think I will buy a $4 apple? Make no sense right?

Anyway Americans need China's goods more than Chinese need American's goods - US imports more than USD$450 billions from China while China only imports only a mere USD$140 billions from US - and most of these goods can be replaced by other countries like Brazil Australia Russia etc but who can replace the goods from China?! India!? Yeah ask iphone

Trump, his family and cronies are helping themselves to huat from stock market lah!
Quote:Shortly after markets opened, President Trump took to his Truth Social platform with a pair of upbeat posts. "BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!" he wrote, followed closely by a more direct appeal to investors: "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT."
