You know, China has been preparing for this for the last five years and for the return of Trump and for Trump's maniac trade policies.

You'd think that Trump also had five years to prepare for this battle with China.

It didn't show.

You can say that the Chinese, at least this time around, have played their hand pretty well.

when dealing with Trump's tariff threats and the trade war.

With a level of calibrated assertiveness, they have really thought through everything very elaborately.

And look, you know, this is not good for either country.

Let's just be clear.

It's bad for U.S.

and China, and it's bad for the world.

And every country has a stake in the U.S.-China trade war, because whether you trade directly or indirectly with China, you're going to be affected.

They are one of the largest intermediate exporters in the world, and Chinese manufacturing goods anchor global manufacturing prices.

The cumulative tariff burdens, when you get to Canada, when you get to Mexico, when you get to any other final destination, these tariffs will affect you, right?

So it's clearly very, very bad for the world, right?

China's core principles, and I think that this is not well understood from the rest of the world, towards the U.S., and something that they have kept up, is equivalence, reciprocity, and realism.

China's not going to lower tariffs unless the U.S.

does.

You can kind of stand up to Trump like a man.

That's the only way to deal with Trump.

That's its view.
