It is rather interesting that a lot of China's recent success is because they copied many of the things that made Singapore successful.
Hong Kong says ... WTF?

quote:Occasionally, forward-thinking individuals lay out a treatise telegraphing future actions. Mein Kampf, for example, did just that. Readers of it would have known Operation Barbarossa was an inevitability. Yet, the USSR was caught asleep at the wheel.
There doesn't appear to be much of an actual strategy here.
Art of the Deal explicitly lays out Trump's approach to negotiations:
Know your counterparty. Know weaknesses and strengths, both your own and his. Know the negotiating terrain better than he does. Know what he'll likely propose even before he does. Stay maneuverable. Understand truths Sun Tzu brought to the forefront, e.g., battles are won before they are fought. Etc.
Given Trump's telegraphed approach, contentions that "there doesn't appear to be much of an actual strategy here," are fatally flawed.

If I were building a factory outside of the USA to move production from China, I would have had to move it three times already since February
In business there are few more valuable tools than an in depth SWOT analysis. Following the 1st Trump Admin, Covid, then continuation of China tariffs under Biden, businesses without supply chain alternatives are studies in operational Darwinism.
re: Fake News: "Never A Consideration" - Amazon Denies Media Claims Of 'Tariff-Tracker'
Posted by NC_Tigah on 4/29/25 at 2:12 pm
quote:Right. There is more to this story. Trump talked to Bezos prior to the presser this morning. Either Bezos said "never heard of it, but I'll check with Jassy," or there were discussions underway, and Bezos scuttled them. But it's apparent there was no definitive answer from Amazon prior to the Bessent presser.
So the Trump administration fell for fake news and found the need to publicly respond to it?

re: Remember when Trump met with tech including Apple?
Posted by NC_Tigah on 4/29/25 at 12:56 pm
Around five million Chinese jobs are thought to rely on Apple’s manufacturing in the country, and Apple employs around 10,000 people directly in China. It’s unclear how many of these jobs would be impacted by losing 15 to 30 percent of production.

quote:That is not what I said. (1) Why did he sell AMZN shares? (2) What calls and or involvement in D2D Ops do you think Bezos has?
He sold $12 or $13B, total, last year. He still has well over 800 million shares of Amazon, though. So, to pretend a guy with a ~$160B investment in a company doesn't care what happens there is a little silly.
To ram the point home, are you saying, as are others here, that displaying the "cost of tariffs" next to the total price of products on Amazon was Jeff Bezos's doing?

We get endless posts of tweets about how amazing Elon Musk and Donald Trump are and how they’ve changed everyone’s lives for the better and it’s not at all true.
Long term is a different story. But Americans are less interested in the long term, it seems.

I don’t understand why Bezos thinks this is a good fight to start.
