‘Trump chickened out’: Chinese social media mocks Trump after Trade Reversal - US are Humiliated!
In a dramatic reversal, Donald Trump is now considering slashing the harsh 145% tariffs he imposed on Chinese goods—without securing any concessions from Beijing. This unexpected retreat has sparked a wave of mockery in China, where a viral hashtag mocking Trump’s “surrender” reached over 150 million views, highlighting the global perception of weakened U.S. credibility.
Trump’s abrupt policy shift comes despite his previous declarations of taking a hard stance with “no deals” and “no exceptions.” Just days after his tough rhetoric, he changed tone completely, now promising to be “nice” to China. Even more puzzling, his Treasury Secretary admitted there were no active negotiations underway, directly contradicting Trump’s public claims. Economists warned that the initial tariffs could cost the U.S. 1.5% of GDP, yet Trump’s about-face is happening without any progress from China on subsidies, intellectual property, or trade reforms.
China swiftly capitalized on the situation, using state media to portray Trump as erratic and weak. In Washington, allies and adversaries alike were alarmed. U.S. Senators like Tom Cotton criticized the rollback, warning that giving up leverage would only embolden further aggression from rivals like China.
Meanwhile, the U.S. business sector is reeling from the chaos. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce decried the unpredictability, and JPMorgan likened Trump’s tariff moves to reckless improvisation. Goldman Sachs warned of an increased risk of recession, and the NFIB reported a notable drop in small business confidence.
On Wall Street, markets reacted sharply. When Trump hinted at easing tariffs, the Dow Jones jumped over 500 points in a day—proof that investors were more afraid of prolonged tensions with China than of appearing weak.
American corporations’ deep ties to China further complicate matters. GM relies on China for 40% of global sales, Boeing counts on it for 17% of aircraft demand, and Apple’s supply chain remains China-centric. Even Disney and Starbucks have made massive bets on Chinese consumers. With China supplying 60% of the world’s rare earth minerals, the U.S. also faces national security vulnerabilities.
As alternative suppliers like Vietnam and Mexico struggle to match China’s scale, the foundation of America’s global business dominance is visibly shaking. Trump's tariff strategy, once touted as a tool for economic leverage, is now seen as a liability—leaving the U.S. caught in a trade war without a clear path forward.
