Despite of delays, negotiation, and world diplomacy, a new King of Tariffs triggered his economic war, targeting almost every country which could produce goods, including some remote and frozen islands.
On April 2, 2025, each country received its share of tariff should it export something to the U.S., at lest 10% for everybody, including the U.S. enduring ally, the United Kingdom. Trump keeps his campaign promise, moving back U.S. manufactory jobs, which shifted to the overseas since Clinton era, largely from China.
While the world is shocked by Trump’s tariffs, anger, frustration and fears engulfed the internet and Wall Street, one country received the heaviest levy with total almost 60%.
Not long ago, when Biden government prohibited Nvidia to sell its high performing advance AI chip to China, they repackaged the chip and ship it to China via Taiwan. Those chips let Chinese communist army excelled in their AI application, which is increasingly becoming Chinese Communist Party’s new weapon of invasion to all internet fronts.
American learns quickly. The goods made in China, can also be shipped directly or indirectly to the U.S. soil through other countries, and evade the tariff for profits.
No country on earth can produce things faster, massively, and in-line with ‘quality’ than China. Mexico produces car and car parts for the U.S., but if you trace deeper, many of those parts might initially, partially or fully crafted in mainland China, transporting to Mexico before shipping to the U.S. According to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade: China Exports of parts and accessories of the motor vehicles to Mexico was US$3.77 Billion during 2023. This is just an official number.
This is might be the only the tip of the iceberg beneath King’s tariff anger spreading across the global, blocking all the profits possible from the sources of factory, China. The Beijing Communist government understood that Trump is cutting all possible doors shipping the cheap goods direct or indirectly to America.
As a lifetime businessman, Trump understood business’ ins and outs, good or bad, loss and profit. If he wants stopping cheap foreign goods flooding the U.S. market competing with American businesses, he would stop the source of overseas supply chains — underpaid, environmental hazard, forced labor, sometimes involving forced organ harvesting, tortuous Chinese factories and labor camps — in China.
Trump’s decision could not be singular or short-sighted, the world yet to understand his deals, but over 70 million Americans have crowned him as the most powerful man last November, he would be unstoppable.
