The United States has approached China seeking talks over President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs, a social media account affiliated with Chinese state media said on Thursday, potentially signalling Beijing’s openness to negotiations. “The U.S. has proactively reached out to China through multiple channels, hoping to hold discussions on the tariff issue,” Yuyuan Tantian said in a post published on its official Weibo social media account, citing anonymous sources.
And China said…“No.”
China managed to lock up people in their appartement for months during covid. Americans are ready to murder someone if their coffee isn’t ready in time. In a battle of will, who will last the longest?
So basically we’re admitting that we lost the trade war, and the whole world is going to belong to China. Isn’t that swell.
“trade war” …LOL… some imbeciles did a full leroy jenkins and now the NPCs cry. thats not what a war looks like…this is what a children do. pathetic.
It wasn’t even a full Leeroy Jenkins. He always went in for full, unrelenting DPS and would go until he was dead unless protected. This was barely poking the (Pooh) bear, and then running like hell the moment it doesn’t look great. The full Leeroy would be a full embargo backed by the Coast Guard.
If China can ascend without a world war? Fine. Not jazzed about it but its better than thermo nuclear annihilation
If it was guaranteed to be annihilation, I think I could accept it. The problem is, it’s not a guarantee. People might live, and they might not even get radiation poisoning. That leaves them alive in a wasteland. That’s the issue. Death is preferable to a life of suffering.
Trump administration <standing pigeon-toed and grimacing>: “So, you know Trump was just kidding around… right?”
I could have sworn that Orange Man said days ago Xi was already reaching out to him.
I’m so confused. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Chinese government is more trustworthy then the orange cheetoh. So that’s saying something.
Can China demand regime change? Please?
I’m sure he does but he has encountered a traditional chinese response.
There’s a Chinese saying that fits this situation perfectly, “no zuo no die”.
What’s the translation?
no zuo no die
不作死就不會死 / 不作死就不会死 (bù zuōsǐ jiù bùhuì sǐ, “You will not get into trouble if you do not seek trouble”) or Chinese 不作不死. Basically the Chinese equivalent of “FAFO.”
