The Spin

Trump's tariff threats expose America's strategic weakness as China plays the long game. Beijing correctly calculated that Trump would react emotionally to their rare earth controls, giving Xi exactly what he wanted. The delayed November implementation reveals Trump's desperation and lack of resolve — a clear sign that America is losing this economic chess match.

America's tariff bullying has backfired spectacularly, isolating the country while China maintains principled leadership. US favorability has plummeted globally as Washington's coercive tactics destroy relationships with allies. China's measured export controls follow international law, while America's double standards and overreach prove it's an unreliable partner shooting itself in the foot.
