About 15% in 2024, that's how much of their exports came here.


I mean, if you don’t count the shite that they send to Canada and Mexico, then sure.

If you account for their collusion, then it is MUCH more than 15%.

Funny how many here have clearly never operated in the real world.

By all means, go get a container of cheap Chinese shite and try and find some people to buy it.
Pay close attention to who has the upper hand in those interactions.

Now think very hard about how that is similar to the trading relationship between China and US.

Dunno, data seems hard to come by, what you got?

Grok estimates an additional 5-10% potentially (only in certain sectors) but says it's really hard to say with any certainty.

Put another way, even if you assume the absolute high end, 25% total, that's not enough to bend an authoritarian state like China into submission given all of their other advantages (pain tolerance).

He's not wrong. If we're lucky it will only be price increases. Could very well be supply shortages too.

In 2023 China exported $3.42 trillion worth of goods and less than $440 billion went to the US. Around $130 billion in electronics won’t be apart of the new tariffs. China is still exporting $3.11 trillion in goods with the tariffs.

They have put a hold on sending us rare earth metals something we have came to depend on. They need our soybeans something they have came to depend on. Trump will not put a hold on sending crops to China.

China doesn’t care about their people, so they can play the long game better than we can.

We need their goods more than they need ours.

Apple flew in 600 tons of IPhones before the tariffs started, so Apple should be good on Iphones for at least a year.

Are you prepared to go three years? Because if three weeks is all we’re prepared to do then China can easily wait that out.

China cannot maintain its current economy without us.

The opposite is not true about us.

If this is true:

3). China will act on its own. US's decision will not affect Chinese decision.

Then, how can this be true?:

I was being hyperbolic to stress that they are over-leveraged as an export economy. They have to move their product, or their whole economy will collapse. They have to have Americans to buy their trash even if we are 30% of total export consumption, which I would imagine at the end of the supply chain we are more.
