“In a statement from China’s Ministry of Finance, which we’ve translated using Google”
Would it really kill them to have an actual translator if they’re gonna base their story on that translation?
It’s a terrible world where I find myself agreeing 100% with China on this. America is a nation of jokers led by a clown.
I’m glad we are still in the timeline where things are resolved with good ole fashioned economic squabbling
This is like when you hit something for more than it’s HP total. Any bigger numbers won’t matter, it’s already defeated.
Oh yea you think it’s funny? Yea? BOOM 200% how you like that huh???
Meanwhile US citizens: b-but master, we’re paying for-
“No I think China is paying the tarrifs. They are great, the tarrifs, I’m told they’re the best tarrifs, nobody else could have come up with these tarrifs except me, it’s the Art of the Deal, it’s very artistic, very precise, very profitable, let me tell you, nobody makes better art deals than me, I am the best deal maker of art in the world”
Anyone with an IQ over 20 knows the US has become a joke. Put a clown in charge don’t be surprised by the circus he creates
Great Leader Krasnov will bless us with another tariff, have faith

The US actually said that the EU was established to “screw America.” Then he started waffling about trying to separate countries away from the EU and do bilateral deals. The US really didn’t learn anything from how the EU handled Brexit. Unity is strength. As for China suggesting a free trade deal with the EU, we aren’t going to adopt “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” We’ll make up our own mind.
We have a fucking idiot for a president and massive amounts of stupid people in our country.

Do these media organisation not have access to a person who speaks Mandarin?
Surely there is enough nuance in these statements to warrant an accurate translation, especially if they are hurling insults at each other.
And saw my first announcement from a game company saying their store is halting all sales to the US. Once again the people are the one that get screwed. I’m sure we’ll be opening a factory to put together figures, plushes, and various other collectible things any day now though! 🙄
And China is correct about this. A Trump-led US is indeed a sad, ridiculous joke.
The only way down now realistically is for Trump to make the first retraction.
He might be an authoritarian dictator, but Xi is smart and calculated, he knows what he’s doing, he’s calling Trumps bluff.
It’s night time where I am, and I’ll be going to bed soon.
I expect tomorrow to see something silly like an Infinity Plus One tariff making the headlines as we continue ever deeper into the reality where satire is dead.
The world economy is being ruined for the greed of a select few that will only get richer due to stock market manipulation. They need to be stopped.
Rest of the world: If we want to see a clown we buy a ticket for the circus
Americans: Let’s elect a clown so we can watch circus everyday for free on TV
It’s final because what’s the point of continuing to raise them? If this escalates further, there’s a real chance trading will come to a halt between these two.
Trump and Navarro are clowns. The Republican party is enabling these arrogant clowns.
>China calls US a ‘joke’

the relevant part:
> 即便美方继续加征再高关税，已经没有经济意义，而且还将沦为世界经济史上的笑话。在目前关税水平下，美国输华商品已无市场接受可能性
google translates to:
>Even if the US continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy.
China didn’t called US a ‘joke’, it said the American tariffs war against China will become a ‘joke’ in history.

Also, Chins said “at the current tariff level, there is no market acceptance for US goods exported to China. If the US continues to play the tariff numbers game, China will ignore it.”
because there is not much difference from 100% to 500% or 1000% since trade of goods basically will not be functional at those levels.
From now on they’ll probably sell off a tranche of US treasuries, instead of raising tarriffs…
New video game incoming. Tariff Wars II: The Final Battle.
Final time seems optimistic.
Hard to be a shittier American than a Trump supporter these days
Xi to Donnie…”you don’t have the cards”
We need to keep in mind, Chinese leader have more executive power than trump. Yet they showed restrain! Xi have not commit insurrection, no tax fraud, no pardon criminals, no open disrespect of foreign leader on public TV, lastly, no openly declare global tariff war on the world!
Dumbshit Trump supporters are claiming “China won’t answer the phone or message back, they aren’t trying to negotiate” fuck these assholes
I hate to agree with china, but we in Europe think the same
The whole world thinks America is a joke run by a clown now 🙄…any reasonable person with half a brain can see that.
China is not wrong. It’s a joke, but not the haha funny joke. It’s a killing joke.
