US-China trade war heats up with fresh tariffs

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:

The US has proposed further increases for tariffs on imports of Chinese semiconductors, electric vehicles (EVs), steel and batteries. The White House announcement on May 14, 2024, drew a swift rebuke from Beijing. China said the “political” decision will erode already frayed ties between the world’s two largest economies.

When you can't compete, just raise tariffs. Remember when the USA did the same thing to Japan in the late 80's.

[lianghao]

They essentially gave up competing with China and left the world's market to China.

Chinese imports to the US doesn't affect the rest of the world. Tariffs will only make it more expensive for American consumers. lol.

[williamlai]

This tariffs is gonna weaken US further....

[Rishabh-Dev]

America cannot survive without cheap imports.

[kalwongkl]

Only losers bemoans winners.
US should learn to complete without resorting to cold wars, tariffs, wars, sanctions etc.

US: Free trade when we like it, protectionism when we don't. Endless state subsidies to all our defense firms & to tech research generally, but anyone else who does this "artificially cheapens" their products.

Didn’t Trump literally try this 5 times and failed 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[lowify]

US isn't able to compete hence the tariff.

I think china should raise their price x3 exclusively for exports to USA. So the money goes to china instead of US government. And China should have 100% tariffs from US export as well. USA gets what they want, things become more expensive. IDK why usa wants their people to pay more? The point of globalisation is everyone gets cheap stuff.

The US tariffs will not have much effect on China, but will have a big impact on US companies, because solar panels and batteries are not consumer goods.
US companies will be in a dilemma of buying high quality Chinese solar panels and batteries at prices 2x more expensive than before or buying lower quality US solar panels and batteries which are also more expensive than Chinese prices.

I believe the "overcapacity" was called "specialization" before? Any difference between them?

[Souchirouu]

From my perspective the biggest threat to the US economy, culture and safety is its own leaders.
The US could easily become competitive with China but that would require stopping funneling trillions of tax money to investors and friends of politicians.

[Hkchinese]

We should change the indignation into strength and put 200% tariffs on American imports.
🤣🤣

[mrblurblur]

Sanction as much as you want and the US citizens are the ones that suffer.

[ShitSkinsIndian]

Indian thinks that they are the main players, but they are merely one of the chess pieces. 🤭🤣😂

[ibcyt]

American demand higher which frankly is fine since that's what they wanted.

[Kiyoone]

Laughable. This only shows that they are digging their grave even deeper. For the rest of the world, this is a great thing.

[iggy]

Bring it on. Chinese is like 1 in 4 people of the world .
