China and the USA ruining each other. I'm going to need more popcorn.
China is getting economically hit in the short term, but the amount of soft power they were gifted by this administation is something they have dreamed for decades upon decades.
And it's knly getting hit in regards to US trade. They also trade a lot with other nations, Europeans also know their way to buying all the Teemu, Shein and Ali express slop.
Not just that. Try manufacturing anything without Chinese parts.. They make everything switches, resistors, motors, just everything.
Apple will get fucked real hard, since pretty much all their iphones are manufactured in China
Yes, but they sell them worldwide. So, if they move manufacturing, then they have the same problem in reverse. If they have multiple manufacturing bases worldwide, not only are they less efficient as the companies/cointries aren’t competing on price, but they lose efficiency of scale. So even if they did what trump purports to want, it’s less efficient, and inflationary.
On the flip side, the fact that many expect he’ll eventually capitulate when there is enough pressure, or it will end in 4 years, means nobody, including Apple is going to invest in American factories. It’s just a risk with minimal benefit. So lose/lose. He’s an imbecile.
Nah, US is suicide bombing its economy in the vicinity of China. Still popcorn-worthy.
China will be fine
