What should we be hoarding as the Maga universe learns how tariffs work?

China did not, in fact, “ignore” the Trump tariffs but instead dumped substantial quantities of its US debt holdings
they won’t hesitate to cause turmoil in the global financial market in order to improve its negotiating power against the US..

Is China Engaging in Large-Scale Dumping of US Treasury Securities?

Long-term yields for US Treasury securities spiked dramatically in April, sparking speculation about what, or who, was behind the sell-off. China, the top target of the US’ recently launched trade wars against its trading partners, is a prime suspect. Analysts point to other possible causes...

IS CHINA ENGAGING IN LARGE-SCALE DUMPING OF US TREASURY SECURITIES?


Why did you leave this off the beginning of your post BOZO ?

Speculation has persisted that… China did not, in fact, “ignore” the Trump tariffs but instead dumped substantial quantities of its US debt holdings



That said, many analysts have taken the opposite position—that China has not been bulk selling—by pointing to evidence of moves of varying degrees in yields at different maturities along the US Treasury securities’ curve. Bloomberg data shows that while yields on 5-year US notes gained 36 basis points in the week to April 11—the most for this maturity since March 2022—yields on 30-year notes climbed by 48 basis points. “If China was selling, then front-end yields should be higher, but they are not, and hence we doubt it’s China selling,” according to veteran bond analyst Prashant Newnaha. “This selloff in Treasuries is primarily at the long end of the curve, and speaks to broader investor re-allocation,” the TD Securities strategist told Bloomberg on April 11.

United States Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent has also downplayed suggestions that China is weaponizing its Treasury holdings to inflict damage on its American economic rival. “If Treasuries hit a certain level or if the Federal Reserve believed that a foreign—I won’t call them an adversary—but a foreign rival were weaponizing the US government bond market or attempting to destabilize it for political gain, I am sure that we would do something in conjunction with each other, but we just haven’t seen that. We have a big tool kit,” Bessent told Yahoo Finance on April 15, adding that it is not in China’s best economic interests to sell. “If they sell Treasuries, then they would have to buy RMBs, and it would strengthen their currency. And they’ve been doing just the opposite.”

“Boeing should default China for not taking the beautifully finished planes that China committed to purchase. This is just a small example of what China has done to the USA, for years… And, by the way, Fentanyl continues to pour into our Country from China, through Mexico and Canada, killing hundreds of thousands of our people, and it better stop, NOW!” Trump said on Truth Social.

Just the beginning

NEW DELHI, April 24 (Reuters) - Air India is in talks with U.S. planemaker Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab to acquire around 10 737 MAX jets after Chinese customers started rejecting deliveries amid a trade war with the United States, two people familiar with the discussions told Reuters

We had a very successful bilateral meeting with South Korea today,” Bessent added. “We may be moving faster than I thought. We will be talking technical terms as early as next week, as we reach an agreement on understanding as soon as next week. South Koreans came early, they came with their A game. We will see if they follow through.”

Chinese plastics manufacturers—heavily reliant on U.S. petrochemicals—now face production halts as shipments are increasingly being diverted from the world’s second-largest economy.

Bloomberg cites new ship-tracking data showing that a very large gas carrier hauling U.S. propane has diverted from its initial destination in China to a new port of call in Japan.

The data showed that BW Gemini is hauling 46,000 tons of propane from the U.S. The gas tanker left Phillips 66 Freeport LPG Export Terminal in late March and was initially headed for Yantai, China. However, in recent days, while traversing the Pacific Ocean, the port of call was changed to Imari, Japan.

Remember, China holds all the card here.

LMFAO

Apple’s China exodus: All US iPhones to be made in India by 2026​

Apple has announced plans to relocate all iPhone assembly for the US market to India by the end of 2026. The move is aimed at reducing exposure to geopolitical and trade-related risks, particularly given that the US remains Apple’s largest market.

Trump is a moron now MAGAs getting conned in real time, it's almost like he knows cultist get news off social media.

President Trump, whose trade war with China has rattled financial markets and threatened to disrupt huge swaths of trade, suggested on Friday that he has been in touch with Xi Jinping, China’s president, even as officials in China insist that no negotiations are occurring.

In an interview with Time, Mr. Trump said Mr. Xi had called him and asserted that his team was in active talks with the Chinese on a trade deal. Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Friday morning, the president reiterated that he had spoken with the Chinese president “numerous times,” but he refused to answer when pressed on whether any call had happened after he imposed the tariffs earlier this month.


But his claims of talks have been rejected by Chinese officials, who have repeatedly denied this week that they are actively negotiating with the United States.

“China and the U.S. have not held consultations or negotiations on the issue of tariffs,” Guo Jiakun, the spokesman for the foreign ministry, said in a news conference on Friday. “The United States should not confuse the public.”

200 deals but he's saving the news....LMAO

Asked in the Time interview if he would call Mr. Xi if the Chinese leader did not call first, Mr. Trump said no.

“We’re meeting with China. We’re doing fine with everybody,” the president said.

Mr. Trump also said, without evidence, that he had “made 200 deals.” He added that he would finish and announce them in the next three to four weeks.

'I don't want to comment': Trump dodges questions after China contradicts his statements​

“You said that you have spoken to President Xi. When did that happen? China says it hasn't happened,” one reporter asked.

“I spoke to him numerous times. So we're leaving and going to Rome, where we'll be attending the funeral of Pope Francis.” Trump added, “It's going to be very interesting. We're going to meet with a lot of the foreign leaders. They want to meet. Trade deals are going very well.”

"We'll see what happens. We're working on plenty of things that shouldn't be worked on, because none of this stuff should have happened. This should have been taken care of by Biden. It should have been fixed by Biden but he couldn't do it. Nor could he come close to doing so. Anyway, we're going to Rome to pay our respects, and we'll be leaving that same day. We'll be coming back home tomorrow night, and I'll see some of you over there. Otherwise, I'll see you on television.”

What a terrible con man...

China exempts some goods from US tariffs​

China has exempted some U.S. imports from its 125% tariffs and is asking firms to identify critical goods they need levy-free, according to businesses that have been notified, in the clearest sign yet of Beijing's concerns about the trade war's fallout.
