What does Trump's comeback mean for east Asia? | Inside Story


The world’s two biggest economies, the US and China, are on a collision course.
Donald Trump has promised to impose high tariffs on Chinese imports once he’s back in the White House,
threatening to destabilise markets across Asia.
It could, perhaps also open new ones, but at what cost?
Trump’s “America First” policy is also raising security…

Trump just a stereo type an American, he just want to show off what he able to do which not much but enough to fool the Americans, one thing you do have to beware is Asia stock market crash by George Soros and Trump`s secretary of treasure Scott K. H. Bessent, back in 90`s,might coming this way again.

I can not wait to see how trump put an end to Russia Ukraine War. Audience are distracted by China issue .😢

@sylvesterajah9886

From Asia , The FACTS THAT CHINA HAS 150 TRADING PARTNERS DO NOT SEEM TO BE OF SIGNIFICANT IN THIS DISCUSSION.

CHINA IS HAVING TRADES WITH COUNTRIES IN SOUTH AMERICA, AFRICA, EU , ASEAN, RUSSIA ,MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES GUARANTEE CHINA'S ECONOMIC GROWTH .

USA CANNOT SUPPRESS AND BULLY CHINA . XI. JIPING WILL HUMILIATE DONALD TRUMP. ❤❤❤❤❤

in Mike Pompeo's own words; "I was the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency! We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal! We had entire training courses on how to do this!"

@wahyuindrasto

Graham Ong-Webb doesn't belong in this panel. His responses to various questions re Taiwan and how China will respond to Trump is meandering and not reassuring.

It’s funny that trump talks tough like as if China would just sit there and do nothing to Trump’s anti China policy. 😂

China can raise tariff to U.S. goods too and stop buying US goods. Today’s world is different from 4 years ago, China has made itself less reliant on US trade.

Trump will last 4 years just watch

@mohanrgopal6097

Trump's logic will fail because of the following reasons:
A) In China, salaries for factory workers do not exceed 15000 USD per year.
B) Factory workers in China slog for 10 hours minimum on their working day to get this salary.

@cathyc5656

Trump think china is just like Japan, so he use the same way to treat china. But size of two country is way different

@godzillamothra5983

Donald Trump and Americans will soon understand that there is no such thing as free lunch.

@susanacuratolo1200

China's protectionism always goes UnDiscussed. China's tariffs on US products have been for the longestt time 30%-35%. All Trump is doing is Doubling it on China!
For reference – check UST website – tariff import/export chart.

@daphuc502

China have extremely high tariff on the west, for examples, German cars are 300-400percent more expensive in China than else where , so I would say 60 percent tariffs on Chinese products is ways too low, make it 6,000 percent or more . The last time Trump started the trade war , the US STARTED putting tariff on China products , while the Chinese ACTUALLY INCREASED THE EXISTING tariffs. Which means the US and the west HAVE ALWAYS been in a trade war with China , Trump were the first one to realize the FACTS and REALITY of the situations instead of the one who started it.

@wintersxiao

To Mr Trump:
Want to talk? We welcome
Want to fight? We will face to face

@wintersxiao

Mind your words please, Taiwan island never has its own sovereignty. You play games on literacy. You want to make trouble to our country unification, Will definitely fail

@f16poor

China will respond to US high tariffs by canceling purchase of billions of farm goods such as soy beans & corn from the U.S. farmers and will buy from Brazil and Russia instead

@Leergreen164

Trump is dumb and blind.

He has an absolutely old-fashioned, simplistic view and approach to world economics.

High tariffs on China will damage the US economy in ways that will surprise Trump and American businesses.

@pstone6100

Is this inside story for great super power Singapore?

@frankm6218

They assumed all Americans are millionaires and don’t mind to spend $1000 for a Christmas lights.

@ElainEmail-m7q

The slogan: "___ First!" will be on every ____ country's trade decisions. It is called " The Closed Economy," which means trades only happen inside the closed country . 2025 will be the most brain drained year in history.

Love America. Tesla should move of China.

@lijackson-x6r

In 2018, China's GDP was 90 trillion yuan, and in 2023, China's GDP was 126 trillion yuan, a 40% increase in five years;
More importantly, the proportion of China's exports to the United States in total exports decreased from 21.8% in 2018 to 14.8% in 2023, a decrease of 7%, but China's overall exports increased by 900 billion US dollars. This shows that Trump's first "trade war" and the Biden administration's "decoupling and breaking the chain" have indeed hit direct trade and investment between China and the United States, but have also objectively reduced China's economic dependence on the US market and promoted the process of China's trade diversification.
According to data from 2023, China's exports to the United States accounted for 2.8% of China's GDP. In addition, the total trade volume between China and the United States in 2023 was US$664.4 billion, of which China's exports to the United States were US$500.3 billion, accounting for 15% of China's total exports for the year.

@moongrass217

If Trump tries to punish China, China will get closer to Russia, India, and overall BRICS.

…. Bahá'u'lláh further said, 'My purpose in coming to this corrupt world where the tyrants and traitors, by their acts of cruelty and oppression, have closed the doors of peace and tranquility to all mankind, is to establish, through the power of God and His might, the forces of justice, trust, security and faith. For instance [in the future] should a woman,who is unsurpassed in her beauty and adorned with the most exquisite and priceless jewels, travel unveiled and alone, … in all countries, there would be such a standard of justice, trustworthiness and faith on the one hand, and lack of treachery and degradation on the other, that no one would be found who would wish to rob her of her possessions or to cast a treacherous and lustful eye upon her beauteous chastity!…”Through the power of God I shall transform the peoples of the world into this exalted state(The Kingdome of God on Earth) and shall open this most great door to the face of all humanity." (Adib Taherzadeh, The Revelation of Baha'u'llah v2, p. 141)

“The Book of God is wide open, and His Word is summoning mankind unto Him. No more than a mere handful, however, hath been found willing to cleave to His Cause, or to become the instruments for its promotion. These few have been endued with the Divine Elixir that can, alone, transmute into purest gold the dross of the world, and have been empowered to administer the infallible remedy for all the ills that afflict the children of men. No man can obtain everlasting life, unless he embraceth the truth of this inestimable, this wondrous and sublime Revelation.”
[Baha’u’llah (The promised one), Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 183]

Bahá'u'lláh revealed with incomparable clearness and comprehensiveness the means for bringing about peace and unity amongst mankind.

“Bestir yourselves, O people, in anticipation of the days of Divine justice, for the promised hour is now come. Beware lest ye fail to apprehend its import and be accounted among the erring”.

[Baha’u’llah (The glory of God, the promised one), Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 7]

“The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life,… A world executive, backed by an international Force, will carry out the decisions arrived at…. A world tribunal will final verdict in all and any disputes that may arise between the various elements constituting this universal system. A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised.., freed from national hindrances and restrictions…
[Baha’u’llah (The promised one of all ages), The Proclamation of Baha'u'llah, p. x]

@samliew6610

"Taiwan sovereignty"??? It's NOT a country just in case you still do not know. Taiwan is part of China lady.

@USA50_

16:00 It is important to put a dollar amount on US defense spending or commitments because of this unrealistic level of expectation foreign countries have. The US needs to lessen its commitments abroad and increase domestic investment spending. Thanks 😊👍🇺🇸❤️

@qdelevation8947

High Tarriffs will not benefit China and the US.
It only benefits those 'hub countires' like Mexico and Southeast Asian countries.
Because the US relies mainly on imported low-value goods, such like appliances, clothes. And they can't produce those goods domestically as the cost of production of those goods is high in the US (considering that those goods involve intensive labor force, and the US labor force is very expensive comparing to lots of developing countires) Consummers in the US still have to buy stuff from China.
Comparing buying things from China directly, buying things from a hub country will only increase the total transaction cost.
