Trump is in a frenzy after being hit by China's countermeasures: Imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese products
Facing China's series of countermeasures, Trump has become extremely angry.
On the 10th, Trump posted multiple tweets on social media. He first criticized China's enhanced export controls on rare earths and related technologies, then claimed that "given China's aggressive stance on trade issues," the US would impose a 100% tariff on all goods originating from China starting November 1, and implement export controls on all key software.
Trump claimed that the US was "forced to retaliate," and whether the US would revoke the new tariffs depends on China's response.
In fact, Trump's words are just an attempt to shift blame. Recently, China's enhanced export control over rare earths and charging fees for American ships are countermeasures aimed at responding to the US's unreasonable sanctions against Chinese companies.
Now, Trump's threat to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese products actually reveals that he has no more cards to play. When China implements equivalent countermeasures against US provocations, Trump still uses tariffs as a means of threatening China, as if he assumes that China has never experienced a tariff war before.
Additionally, let's remind Trump once again: Imposing tariffs is not as simple as his next command. With the current shutdown and裁员 (layoff) situation in the US government, does the US have the capability to implement and collect the new tariffs?
