▪️It should be remembered that President Trump's previous "bad" tariffs were not only kept in place under the Biden administration, they were expanded upon over the last 4 years indicating this is a bipartisan "deep state" agenda; ▪️Follow-up tariffs on not only China but now also Canada and Mexico are aimed at further permanently decoupling the US from China, not at negotiations or the stemming of "drugs" and "illegal immigrants," all of which are fabricated pretexts; ▪️Tariffs have precipitated a cost of living crisis in the US (coupled with a similar crisis in Europe linked to sanctions on Russia), a crisis both the Trump and Biden administrations are clearly indifferent to; ▪️The goal is very obviously to prepare for war with China, including a blockade of Chinese maritime shipping US moves against Panama and Greenland both serve as steps toward preparing; ▪️Under the Biden administration, the reorganization of the US Marine Corps into an anti-shipping force likewise served as preparation for this; ▪️China and its trading partners (virtually the rest of the world) need to realistically face this and prepare for this US plan to strangle multipolarism in the cradle - negotiations with the US must be done with this in mind, realizing the US has no intention of ever striking an actual deal, but is instead preparing the battlefield; ▪️China's ability to innovate and replace US imports as well as diversify and protect alternative exports elsewhere from US destabilization (both regime change installing anti-China client regimes and the backing of violence targeting Belt & Road Initiative routes) will determine the outcome of Washington's actual objectives; References: CNN - Trump announces significant new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, sparking retaliatory actions (Feb. 1, 2025): https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/01/politics/mexico-canada-china-tariffs-trump/index.html CSIS - Experts React: Energy and Trade Implications of Tariffs on Chinese Imports (May 2024): https://www.csis.org/analysis/experts-react-energy-and-trade-implications-tariffs-chinese-imports National Interest - Free Baluchistan (2011): https://nationalinterest.org/feature/free-baluchistan-4799/ VOA - Pakistan arrests 11 militants in deadly attack on Chinese engineers (May 2024): https://www.voanews.com/a/pakistan-arrests-11-militants-in-deadly-attack-on-chinese-engineers/7637087.html The Diplomat - Chinese Pipeline in Myanmar Damaged in Attack by Anti-Regime Forces (Feb. 2022): https://thediplomat.com/2022/02/chinese-pipeline-in-myanmar-damaged-in-attack-by-anti-regime-forces/ Washington Post - As Myanmar protesters torch Chinese factories, workers are caught in spiraling crisis (2021): https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/china-myanmar-coup-military/2021/03/17/39989378-86c2-11eb-be4a-24b89f616f2c_story.html Bloomberg (via Bangkok Post) - Thailand needs hyperloop, not China-built high-speed rail: Thanathorn (2018): https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/1550586/thailand-needs-hyperloop-not-china-built-high-speed-rail-thanathorn BBC - High-speed train company Hyperloop One shuts down (2023): https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67801235 Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235

During elections, Americans are influenced by political campaign rhetoric. In reality the 2 political parties represent the same elitists' interests. Thanks Brian
