In a fiery critique of recent policies, CGTN’s Wang Guan fired off a strong rebuke, labeling Trump’s "reciprocal tariffs" as a case of tariff madness—with flawed math, selective data, and a power play that risks global trade stability. Hey, if trade were a math class, these numbers would definitely have us scratching our heads! 😅
The analysis shows how these measures have strained ties with allies while exposing broken promises to revitalize jobs in the Rust Belt. American households may feel the sting of rising costs and economic instability.
Wang Guan argues that these tariffs aren’t just a set of miscalculated figures—they represent a global bully’s move to reshape trade rules, potentially isolating the U.S. on the world stage. It’s a lose-lose situation where economic fundamentals get sidelined by power plays.
Nonetheless, the Chinese mainland is not backing down. History shows that it has consistently stood up to provocations, proving that real strength lies in resilience and unity. As global trade evolves, this turbulent power play reminds us that no one wins when politics trumps sound economics. 🌏✌️
