Singapore is fucked... China is just as fucked. Trump wins as usual don't mess with the best!

The guy in the video is paid by America. He is probably a Taiwanese or Chinese immigrant, through mexico border.
 
I believe there will be litigation and lots of suing for losses created by Trump.
The shipment meant for US may be shipped elsewhere. Just need time to look for buyers
 
Definitely somehow the tariff will affect china in some areas. China those lost biz ones can come sinkie other countries work or be chicken. US itself also suffering.

As for the sinkie, US MNC opening fire in sinkie. Japs MNC "restructuring some departments to msia". Semiconductor will lose china as customers due to tariff and many semiconductor will freeze hiring or even open fire. China's own semiconductor is advancing. Many local will do grab, taxi, delivery, hawker etc
 
Rather than dwell on complaints, it would be more productive to capitalize on these perceived disadvantages and convert them into advantages.

That is what other countries are doing now. Making arrangements with US is hopeless.
 
During Trump's first term in office, he experienced a sense of accomplishment when he initiated a trade war with China, which largely complied with his demands even though they are largely debatable. In his second term, he aimed to build on this momentum by increasing tariffs, despite his method of calculation being flawed.
Hope that US is the first country to implement negative tariff where the importer pays the tariff, it works somehow similar to negative interest rate where the depositor pays the interest

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Walks From $10B Deal as Buffett Sounds Alarm on U.S. Debt​

Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio), chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B, Financials), didn't hold back at this year's shareholder meeting in Omaha. He raised alarms about U.S. debt, rejected trade protectionism, and reaffirmed the company's disciplineeven as it sits on a record $347 billion in cash.

Buffett told investors that Berkshire nearly pulled the trigger on a $10 billion acquisition but walked away because the math didn't work. Good deals come like deathunpredictably, he said, underscoring his long-held principle: patience pays.

Buffett criticized the use of tariffs as economic leverage, saying, Trade should not be a weapon. He added that the U.S. fiscal outlook scares him due to rising debt and the risk of currency devaluation.

Still, he struck an optimistic note about America's long-term strength, calling the day he was born in the U.S. the luckiest day of my life.

Apple (AAPL, Financials), Buffett said, has made more money for Berkshire than he has personally earnedanother nod to CEO Tim Cook's leadership. No plans to trim that stake.

Buffett also made clear that Berkshire's Japan holdings are long-term. Even if the Bank of Japan raises rates, he said, those investments are here to stay.

And for value investors trying to navigate today's rocky markets, he offered a familiar roadmap: Look for businesses you understand, with good prospects, trustworthy leaders, and fair prices.
 
Trump just helped PAP to a landslide, Trump da best. He has shown, three in a row that he can decide the outcome of elections. Korea is having theirs 3 June, lets see if he can do the same magic.

Negative tariff? It's the end buyer who bears the cost eventually.

Trump 2.0 would see China CCP bow to him and say sorry.
 
China Observer is not really "observer". It is an anti China propaganda entity specialising in creating fake news on China.
