China has just won the Trade War

[John Hassler]

Why? So China can deny it. SMH

Fine, let China deny those named. Until then it looks like just another falsehood by Trump and his Admin.

In Trump's first term, China didn't really push back regarding the tariffs. China accommodated Trump with agreements to buy more agricultural products.
In Trump's second term, we see a more aggressive pushback against Trump tariffs. When Trump lies and makes up his narratives, China calls it out publicly their narrative and public opinion.
Trump has emboldened China.

Trump-China tariff war: Who’s winning so far?

It’s early days, but the warning signs are flashing red for the US.

Trump-China tariff war: Who’s winning so far?​

Data from the US Department of Agriculture shows that exports of soya beans – the biggest US farm export – fell dramatically for the period April 11-17, the first full week of reporting since Trump’s China tariff announcement.

By April 17, net sales of US soya beans dropped by 50 percent compared with the previous week. That was driven by a 67 percent fall in weekly soya bean exports to China, which, until recently, was America’s biggest export destination for the legume.

According to Piergiuseppe Fortunato, an adjunct professor of economics at the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland, “China’s retaliatory tariffs will hit US farmers hard. Some may go out of business.” He added that all sectors with exposure to China would come under strain.

In 2023, the US exported roughly $15bn of oil, gas and coal to China. Losing that market would hit US energy firms.

China has been actively diversifying its energy sources to reduce reliance on any single country.\\

China has been working on energy diversification for decades, but a major milestone came on January 1, 2025, when it implemented its first comprehensive national energy law. This law aims to overhaul China's energy market, increase domestic consumption, and push investments into new energy sources.

Before this, China had been gradually shifting its energy policies, especially after the early 2000s, when it started prioritizing renewable energy and reducing reliance on foreign imports.

I bet you the Climate crazies would love this.

So Trump is pushing China to buy oil from Russia?

Well maybe but they were already doing it long before Trump

Summary:

On May 21, China signed a 30-year, $400 billion gas supply deal with Russia. The agreement concluded a decade of protracted negotiations, and coincided with an escalation of the Ukraine crisis in Europe. This paper examines the conditions, motives, and implications of the deal. It begins by looking at China’s energy needs and gas import strategy, as well as Russia’s Asia pivot. It then analyzes the key points of contention – the price, shipping route, and payment and investment conditions – and whether or not these were resolved in China’s favor. Section 3 places the deal in the context of Sino-Russian relations, in terms of geopolitics, economic ties, and a maturing energy partnership. The paper closes with implications for the United States, Europe, and Japan.
