China says it will ‘fight to the end’ after Trump threatens 50% additional tariffs
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50percent-tariff-threat-vows-retaliation.html
China’s Commerce Ministry said it “resolutely opposes” U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of escalating tariffs.
Trump said he would impose an additional 50% duty on U.S. imports from China on Wednesday, if Beijing does not withdraw the 34% tariff it imposed on American products last week.
The People’s Bank of China on Tuesday set the midpoint rate for onshore yuan at 7.2038 per dollar, the weakest level since September 2023, according to data provider Wind Information.

China has limited options, they can weaken their currency/import inflation, and Trump can raise the tariffs more.

The deficit is 250 billion, who is going to buy all that plastic crap other than the US ? Japan and Korea do not consume like US does. They will come to the table or watch their economy shrink.

China can do anything it wants. It is a dictatorship. No one in the US wants Chinese jobs. What a f’ing disaster maga is.

+1 JD Vance pissed them off even further by calling them peasants. That will inspire their population to just tighten their belts and deal with the fallouts of the crazy American tariffs. It's like this Trump administration has a death wish to tank the economy and ruin America's reputation globally.

Agree. At some point this becomes a question of principles. I would not be surprised if China just keeps its middle finger raised regardless of the potential impact on its economy.

Down again. Markets hate unpredictability and people are seeing the USA under Trump as too costly of a bet to take.

That is not the conclusion I would take from this thread.

Statistically, it wasn’t just Dems pulling money in April.

I do want to hear back from the 3X leveraged inverse ETF guy though.

Still here. Held my 3x inverse (uvix, etc) ETFs for a short time and mainly made a profit. You know, it’s crazy, but not everyone has to holds VOO or VTSAX in perpetuity and obsessively protests themselves in the church of Bogle to be a good investor, right?
