The President's Daily Brief
PDB Situation Report | May 10th, 2025: Xi’s Weak Hand: U.S.-China Showdown & India And Pakistan On The Brink

Sie senden ihren Vizepräsidenten He, der ihre Hauptverkäuferin ist und sehr beeindruckend, jemand, der gute Verhältnisse mit Xi Jinping hat. Und jemand, der einen Rang hat, der vergleichbar ist mit dem Vizepräsidenten Bissets. Das ist ein Beweis, dass sie das ernsthaft nehmen. Was noch mehr ist, kann ich nicht wirklich beurteilen.

It is an attempt to keep some factories open. And the reason is that a lot of these items, like the industrial chemicals and the semiconductors, for instance, they're necessary for China to build and make the products that it then exports. So, yes, to keep some factories open, that's what they're doing. I don't think they're trying to placate workers as such.

Although there are worker protests across China, the regime has been able to control them up to now. So I don't think that at least now they're worried. They should be, but I think it's more just to make sure that China can continue to get the components it needs in order to export. With regard to some of the medicines and medical devices,

I think those are just that China needs them themselves and they can't get them elsewhere. So that's an attempt, I think, just to make sure that their health system doesn't break down.

Long term, if we take a long term perspective, yes, they're growing. Now, even before President Trump took his second office, China's export sector, basically medium and small size factories, a lot of them in the southern portion of the country, were having problems, because they weren't having orders.

And because they weren't having orders in sufficient quantities, they were not being able to pay workers. And so there were worker protests. then these go back to the beginning of this year. Now, Trump's tariffs and the threat of tariffs have made life much more difficult. We've seen factories close probably in the thousands.
