James Jin is truly a unique flower among the many "China experts" in the United States: while others are advising Trump from various angles to quickly "repent," he alone is egging Trump on to continue the tariff war.

On the 25th, Fox News once again invited James Jin to the studio to ask for his "insights" regarding the deadlock in Sino-US tariffs.

As expected, James Jin was once again peddling his "Chinese collapse theory." He criticized officials around Trump, such as Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, for being "too weak" in their attitude and actions towards China, urging Trump to continue the tariff war.

"Trump cannot back down, China is about to collapse."

As for James Jin's basis? It's still the same old argument: "China is about to collapse" - James Jin claims that lowering tariffs has no meaning for Trump's "Make America Great Again" agenda and will not bring China back to the negotiating table. Trump only needs to persist, and "struggling" China will soon "collapse."

Even more bizarrely, James Jin then talked about our lunar mission, claiming that China hopes to "annex the moon" and shoot down American satellites so that "China can bomb the U.S. with nuclear weapons at will."

James Jin's "insight," if it were put forward 30 years ago in the U.S., might have had some market, but now American netizens have had enough of his "Chinese collapse theory" - there are American netizens mocking him in the comments section of this news: since China wants to "annex" the moon, then just impose tariffs on the moon to solve the problem.

Fox News is known as Trump's propaganda base and megaphone, and James Jin becoming a guest of this media outlet is enough to show his influence on Trump and his team.

“James Jin Offers Another Collapse Book”

We previously introduced how Stephen Miller, Trump's economic advisor, wrote a report last year about the issue of tariffs.

In terms of the Chinese economy, Miller cited false data provided by "anti-China" scholars like James Jin in his report and concluded that China would not resist Trump's tariff policy; once Trump announced the imposition of tariffs, China would return to negotiations with the U.S. as before.

Then what happened is something everyone has seen. Because of the whimsical ideas of James Jin, Miller, and others, Trump and his team did not prepare contingency plans for "what to do if China does not compromise," which not only turned Trump's tariff policy into a laughingstock without reaching any agreements with any countries but also made Trump look foolish in the face of China's countermeasures.

Trump has such "sleeping dragons and phoenix cubs," great plans can be achieved.

Even so, James Jin continued to hype up Fox News that the tariff war would "make life better for 300 million Americans." This can only be said: even among white scholars in the U.S., it's hard to find someone who is as blindly superstitious about America as James Jin.

The existence of people like James Jin also explains why America's China policy in recent years has become increasingly eccentric. The decision-makers in Washington base their understanding of China entirely on the advice of these self-proclaimed "China experts" who actually know nothing about China, such as James Jin.

Although James Jin is ethnically Chinese and claims to have worked and lived in Shanghai and Hong Kong for over 20 years, he hasn't even learned to speak Chinese during his time in China.

We also look forward to James Jin's忽悠 work.

Moreover, China's development is rapidly changing, and modern information and communication are so advanced, yet James Jin still lives in his own world where "China is bound to collapse." He refuses to accept China's progress and achievements, viewing China through the lens of decades past, and pollutes Washington's understanding of China with his "collapse book."

This period when James Jin frequently appears on Fox News proves that even though Trump has been misled, his trust in James Jin has not diminished.

Since that's the case, we also look forward to what kind of jokes James Jin, this big swindler, can come up with next.
