"American Chess" - 🇺🇸
Final part - Trump versus China, dismantling Chinese dependence, building a new world! ❤️
Over the past week, the chess moves between Trump and China have managed to confuse us all.
Trump sets exceptionally high tariffs, as if playing a game of Monopoly against China, the undisputed superpower in manufacturing and exports. It seems Trump does not intend to play by the known rules.
He aims to set the rules himself, or he will break the board...
So for those who missed the news:
1. Trump set tariffs of 34% on imports from China.
2. China retaliated by matching the taxation on imports from the US.
3. Trump threatened to raise taxes on China by 50% if it did not stop.
4. China announced it was not afraid and would fight "to the end."
4. Talks are underway between the US and 70 other countries regarding tariff levels, production lines, and exports and imports from America.
Weakening China immediately -
And why disconnect from China at all?
What Trump sees, many do not:
China is no longer just "the world's factory"; it has become a powerful rival, both economically and militarily.
And when your rival produces so many basic daily products for you, you are essentially dependent on them when push comes to shove.
To get out of this trap, he needs to cut ties, even if it hurts in the short term.
He wants to return power to American hands, so that the US can function even if a war breaks out tomorrow around Taiwan or if China decides to turn off the economic tap.
What does Trump actually want to achieve?
Trump's move against China is not about "trade correction" or "improving conditions"; it is a complete revolution.
His goal is:
1. To bring jobs back to America, to make companies stop manufacturing in China and start producing in Michigan, Texas, or Mexico.
2. The lesson from 2022: supply chain control. Dependence on China and rising inflation due to China's domestic policies are unacceptable to him. And if China's export engine needs to be dried up along the way, all the better.
3. Organizing a global economic coalition to weaken China. Trump's hawkish tariff policy led to a "pilgrimage" to the White House and created a balance of terror that positions America in a place of power. And the goal? Creating a prosperous global economic coalition, just not China.
And yes, also to make America economically and industrially independent again.
When he imposes tariffs, he knows it will make products more expensive, but for him, the price is worth the freedom.
Trump is not alone; he is building a global coalition.
To truly disconnect from China, Trump understands an alternative is needed.
So he is launching a global initiative:
Talks, agreements, coordination with 70 countries, including India, Vietnam, Mexico, Poland, the Philippines, and even African nations.
The goal: to transfer production lines to them!
To import products from there that America is used to getting from China.
To build "democratic supply chains," ones that can be relied upon.
This is not punishing China, this is not demanding it "improve"; this is simply building a new world without China at its center. ❌
Why is this so significant?
If Trump succeeds, he is not just replacing one supplier with another; he is breaking the economic connection that keeps China tied to the West!
Instead, he is establishing a new system where America is once again at the top of the pyramid.
So all of this, of course, also affects inflation, national debt, the labor market, and the strength of the dollar!
