Why America Holds ALL the Cards in the US-China Tariff Showdown.

How Trump's playing hardball while Xi's running out of moves...

“In warfare, for every action, there is a reaction followed by a counter action. The Chinese believe they are the masters of this, but in reality their political system is built on a foundation of quicksand. The CCP under Xi is under extraordinary pressure and will not lose “face” but could lose a hell of a lot more. Like those on the left in America, their arrogance will be their downfall.” "President Trump is about to drop an economic BOMBSHELL on China that will make his tariffs look like child's play."

- Kevin O’Leary

Why is everyone panicking about a trade war with China?

Did anyone check who really has the leverage here?

China exports five times more to America than we export to them.

So when headlines scream, “Oh no, China’s raising tariffs!” — the real response should be: so what?

The truth is, we barely sell anything to them compared to what they sell to us.

That’s not a disadvantage.

That’s power.

And now, Trump’s turning up the heat.

He just slapped a 145% tariff on Chinese goods — with a threat to raise it more if Xi doesn’t play ball.

This isn’t just a move.

It’s a checkmate in the making. China’s economy relies on American buyers.

Ours doesn’t rely on theirs. Every tariff we hit them with bleeds their bottom line. All we have to do is wait — and eventually, they’ll bend the knee.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: China’s $300B Trade Surplus With US Is About to Become Their Biggest Weakness

Walk through any big-box store in America and you’ll see it: shelves packed with Chinese-made goods.

But take a stroll through a shopping district in Beijing?

Good luck finding much that says “Made in the USA.” That’s not an accident. It’s the reflection of a $300 billion trade surplus — their surplus, our leverage.

That number matters more than the media wants to admit. When Trump slaps a high tariff on Chinese imports, it hits them like a hammer.

Their entire economic model is built on exporting to us.

Ours? Barely notices.

Yet you'd think from the press coverage that we’re the ones in trouble. Basic math the Enemedia refuses to do: they need our market way more than we need their junk.

Reciprocal Trade Isn’t Radical — It’s Long Overdue

Most Americans don’t realize it, but we’ve been subsidizing the world for decades.
