I think what China did well was to let him fucking stew it it. The rest of the world has been putting reciprocal teriffs, but being clear they’re eager to begin negotiations.
China put up the reciprocal teriffs and just said “reach out when you’re ready to be reasonable. Don’t wait for a phone call from us because it isn’t coming.”
Thats what Canada did too. Applied light counter tariffs, told the moron that he can call us. Trump almost completely folded and Canada hasn’t lightened any of its tariffs outside of the electricity one.
Only difference is that Canada is still playing nice.
Spread propaganda about how china doesn’t really need america’s money.
both sides say “actually, i REALLY need this particular thing for my military”, make excemptions.
work in factories grinds to a halt. I mean, that’s ok. We’ll just expunge all the dissent as usual.
oh shit oh fuck the chinese factories are closing down for good.
Stop reporting finantial numbers out of embarassment to try save face
Come crawling back to trump to make a deal
i mean. Come on. If this is what being strong is, i would’ve wanted them to at least put up a fight for a few months. This is about as structurally strong as my shit is after taco bell
Well the Chinese have shown how it’s done.
Don’t back down, show power and reprocicate
China has not shown it first.
Canada has done it several times already just with the current “administration”

Nice move from China and Canada. Hope the EU will do something similar.
I mean, this is literally what China has been saying everyone should do. They even made a whole video about it.

I guess, more and more people are realizing that yeah, that’s what everyone’s going to have to do.
Yeah. Sure.
the china tactic has been:

I recommend to stop eating lead for breakfast
