Chapter 1: How is China countering Trump's trade war strategy?
China is putting on a clinic right now in standing up against Donald Trump. They are checkmating him over and over again and humiliating him in public. They've got a multi-pronged strategy to checkmate him. On the retaliatory tariff side, China's raised their retaliatory tariffs to 125%, effectively shutting down the China's market from United States goods and products. So that's step one.
Then on the public relations side of things, they are just continuing to mock the United States with memes and on social media, they're putting out this AI footage of American, overweight Americans in factories putting together iPhones as the Trump regime says that he wants Americans to start building and assembling iPhones and things like that.
And then on the diplomatic side of things, China's been reaching out to former allies of America here. and they've been building relations there trying to open free trade agreements for example with europe the china electric vehicle manufacturer byd for example we've seen their shares their stock surge and china's byd now gaining a foothold
In Europe, which used to be kind of the home where Teslas would thrive. See you later, Teslas. People are not buying those. BYD, a car that many people actually say is superior, but had previously been prevented based on regulatory machinations in Europe and the United States.
from getting into other markets so china's been doing this i think in a very smart and sophisticated way you have xi jinping uh kind of inspired by you know sun tzu's the art of war donald trump the art of the deal which he didn't even write which we know from donald trump's past is bankrupting essentially everything that he touches so let's just go through this one by one methodically and let me just give you the data points
So we know that China raised its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. goods to 125 percent. China's leader, Xi Jinping, put out a message. We're not afraid. We'll go until the end. We're not going to go out and reach out to Donald Trump at all. We're not going to beg. China is a proud country. The statement that was also issued from China's foreign ministry is, quote,

Chapter 2: What are China's retaliatory tariffs and their impact?
Given that the current tariff level U.S. exports to China are no longer even commercially viable, China's not going to respond to any further tariff hikes by the U.S. on Chinese goods. China's Ministry of Finance said in a statement to the media on Friday. Let me give you some additional data points though here.
Here is China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson or Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson. I want you to listen to what he says as he announces the 125% tariff on US goods. Let's play it.
Chapter 3: What messages is China sending through its Foreign Ministry?
I want to emphasize that there are no winners in tariff wars and trade wars. China is unwilling to fight, but it's also not afraid to fight. I want to emphasize that If the US really wants to resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation, they should stop the extreme pressure and reckless actions. China has never bought into that. Any dialogue must be based on equality, respect, and reciprocity.
If the United States insists on engaging in a tariff and trade war, China will certainly see it through to the end. China is a responsible country. Our countermeasures against the United States' bullying are to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests, uphold international rules and order, protect the common interests of countries worldwide, and maintain international fairness and justice.
Yielding and compromising in the face of American bullying and overbearing behavior leads nowhere.
Then I think there's a number of data points from this well-known China analyst and business person, Victor Gao, saying that China will fight to the very end in any trade war after Trump hit China with 145% tariffs. Play this clip.
China is fully prepared to fight to the very end because the world is big enough that the United States is not the totality of the market in the world. So if the United States wants to go in that direction of completely shutting itself out of the China market, be my guest.
Yeah, and China will lose the U.S. market, which, as I've said, is 15%.
We don't care. We don't care. China has been here for 5,000 years. Most of the time, there was no United States, and we survived. And if the United States wants to bully China... We will deal with the situation without the United States. And we expect to survive for another 5,000 years.

Chapter 4: What insights does China analyst Victor Gao provide on the trade war?
Here's Gao again saying that China will never kiss Trump's ass. Let's play it.
Just a few hours ago that countries are calling up. Many countries are calling up. He used the phrase kissing my ass. Would China ever do that?
China will never do that. And that is the most demeaning thing for a president of a country to say about his counterparts in other countries. Therefore, I think President Trump should really learn how to be a better president for the United States.
Chapter 5: How does China view the US market and bullying tactics?
Chapter 6: What diplomatic and economic moves is China making internationally?
Chapter 7: What is the role of public relations and social media in China's strategy?
Then on the public relations side of things, they are just continuing to mock the United States with memes and on social media, they're putting out this AI footage of American, overweight Americans in factories putting together iPhones as the Trump regime says that he wants Americans to start building and assembling iPhones and things like that.
And then on the diplomatic side of things, China's been reaching out to former allies of America here. and they've been building relations there trying to open free trade agreements for example with europe the china electric vehicle manufacturer byd for example we've seen their shares their stock surge and china's byd now gaining a foothold

And here Victor Gao talks about building relations with Europe. And also what I like that Victor Gao says here is he goes, look, why don't we just view this just based on the facts and evidence and view it dispassionately, he says. He goes, look, We are supporting a free trade. What he's saying, I just want you to see, you know, whether you believe that China is doing this or not.
The problem is, if you're trying to say that you want to create deterrence against China's expansion, it sounds a whole lot more rational than what Trump is spewing. And that's a problem when, you know, if you're trying to
If you believe that there's an adversarial trade relationship between the United States and China, Trump is opening up this kind of gaping hole in leadership for China to fill this void, both in terms of the expansion of the BRICS bloc, but also China reaching out to Canada, Australia, which they're doing, Europe and elsewhere and saying, you can't rely on them. We want to step in.
Let's figure out how to work together. So what Victor Gao says here is he's like, look, We support free trade. We support sovereignty of nations. We're not going to tariff you. We only want to be supportive. On the other hand, you've got Trump behaving like a bully.
Just listen for yourself. Play this clip. I think the choice is not between China or the United States. The real choice is between whether the United States is doing the right thing or the wrong thing, or whether China is doing the right thing or the wrong thing. In this case of global tariff war,
