If one of Xi's asset's asset's* were tasked with destroying a critical US manufacturing sector before it could compete with China, what would the asset be tasked to do with Congressionally delegated control of US foreign trade?
* (not a typo: Xi controls Putin, who controls Trump)
#Chinese leader #XiJinping called on Southeast Asian countries Monday to join him in resisting President Donald #Trump’s “unilateralism and protectionism,” part of his effort to present #Beijing as a more reliable ally and trading partner.
#Xi’s arrival Monday in #Vietnam, a country #Trump hit with a whopping 46 percent tariff until he issued a temporary reprieve last week, marks a new stage in #Beijing’s “neighborhood #diplomacy.”

So the #US & #China are ramping up their #trade war
#Xi operates in a climate where the only people he needs to appease are members of his #politburo who, by the way, are all in agreement w/ him. China's total exports to the US is no more than 3% of its total #GDP &, in theory, can easily be redistributed to other nations.
Trump operates in a climate where he needs to make his #oligarch friends happy. & THEY definitely don't agree w/ his yoyo-ing
Now, ask yourself: who's gonna win?
"Perhaps #trump and #xi will take each other down in a death spiral?" 
#China will impose 125 per cent tariffs on #US goods up from the 84 per cent previously announced, its finance ministry says.

The trade war between China and the United States continues to escalate. For a variety of reasons, it appears unlikely that Xi will back down. One key question is: which country is more capable of enduring prolonged economic hardship? Unfortunately, the answer may be China, due to its centralized state control and authoritarian political system, which allows for tighter management of public dissent and economic disruption.

#China said its new #tariffs would take effect on Saturday.
The world’s two biggest economies have been engaged in a fast-moving tit-for-tat that has seen the cost of trade soar over the past two weeks.
On Friday, China’s top leader, #Xi Jinping, spoke publicly about the tariffs for the first time since Washington & Beijing started hitting each other with progressively higher levies this month.
“There are no winners in a tariff war,” he said.
https://taz.de/Trumps-Zoelle-Hoelle/!6077823/ #Exporte sind für #Chinas Machthaber #XiJinping eine strategische Waffe. #Xi will bekanntlich demnächst #Taiwan angreifen, und um sich vor möglichen Sanktionen zu schützen, hat er sein Land auf den Weltmärkten unentbehrlich gemacht. Für die #USA ist die Ausgangslage also denkbar schrecklich: Sie sind auf #China angewiesen und treffen bei Xi auf einen versierten Strategen, während #Trump nur auf seinen „Instinkt“ hört.

“Russia–Iran–China: All for one, and one for all?”
by Pepe Escobar in The Cradle
“Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a US war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump's war is singularly directed at the transformational global 'changes they are driving together.'”

"dumb as a bag of rocks!"
"President #Xi is a very smart man. He loves his country, and I know that for a fact. I know him very well, and I think he's going to want to get to a deal." - President #Trump on the tariffs #China and the #United_States are imposing on each other.
Asked about a possible escalation, President #Trump said: "We're very powerful. We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, the most powerful weapons in the world."
125 procent! Yeah, why not 1,000% or 10,000%! 
/s Fuck Trump, fuck Xi! Let's get rid of those dictators. Now's the time!
Al Jazeera: *Trump tariffs live: US president raises taxes on China to 125 percent*
"United States President Donald Trump has announced he will raise tariffs against China to 125 percent, in a rapidly escalating trade war that has seen China already retaliate with 84 percent tariffs, effective April 10."
....... tariff?!!
