China’s Panicked Retaliation Proves Trump’s Strategy Is Working
China’s Ministry of Finance announced an 84% tariff on U.S. imports, effective Thursday, April 10, 2025—a desperate escalation after President Trump’s bold 104% tariff on Chinese goods (BBC). This knee-jerk reaction reveals Beijing’s fear of Trump’s unapologetic America First agenda. As Chinese exporters scramble to adapt, state media has resorted to hysterical rhetoric, pleading for “global solidarity” against U.S. policies while their economy teeters on stagnation (Euronews).
“Global solidarity can overcome trade oppression.” — China Daily editorial, April 9, 2025
Beijing’s hollow cries for unity mask a critical truth: Trump’s tariffs are forcing China to confront decades of unfair trade practices. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy remains resilient, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spearheading negotiations to secure better deals for American workers (Yahoo Finance).
Trump’s Strategic Masterstroke: Restoring Fair Trade
President Trump’s 104% tariff—a direct response to China’s earlier 34% levy—isn’t just about economics; it’s a geopolitical chess move to dismantle Beijing’s predatory tactics. By targeting China’s export-driven growth model, Trump is forcing the CCP to reckon with its reliance on exploitative trade imbalances. Analysts at KCM Trade note that without structural reforms, China’s economy will crumble under the weight of its own inefficiencies (BBC).
The tariffs have already exposed cracks in China’s facade:
- Supply chain chaos: Logistics firms report “razor-thin profit margins” as Chinese manufacturers flee to Southeast Asia—only to face Trump’s “worst offender” tariffs on Vietnam (46%) and Thailand (36%) (BBC).
- Economic desperation: Beijing’s rare earth export controls and antitrust probes against U.S. tech firms (HK Law) reek of panic, not strength.
China’s “Fight to the End” Is a Bluff—And Trump Knows It
Despite fiery rhetoric from Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian, China’s economy is on life support. Domestic consumption is sluggish, and exports—their lifeline—are now under siege. As Trump told supporters, “They want to make a deal. They just don’t know how to ask” (BBC).
Even the CCP’s state-run People’s Daily admits the tariffs’ impact, urging citizens to “stay calm” while offering no solutions. Meanwhile, U.S. markets rebounded after initial volatility, proving America’s capacity to absorb short-term disruptions for long-term gains (DW).
Deep State Globalists Side With China Over American Workers
While Trump fights for fairness, establishment elites cling to failed globalization. The American Chamber of Commerce in China absurdly claims tariffs “harm consumers”—ignoring how decades of unchecked Chinese dumping decimated U.S. manufacturing (BBC). Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s warnings about inflation parrot Beijing’s talking points, undermining Trump’s leverage at a critical moment (DW).
This isn’t policy disagreement—it’s sabotage. The same cabal that enabled China’s rise now fears losing their influence as Trump reshapes the global order.
Stand With Trump to Finish What He Started
President Trump’s tariffs are a winning strategy that already forced China to the brink. Patriotic Americans must reject the deep state’s doom-mongering and media hysteria. Follow Golden Age Patriots on X and Facebook to stay informed as we expose the truth and champion America’s revival.
