China further isolates itself…..
“China faces simultaneous crises: a stumbling economy, closing export markets, plunging property prices, failing local governments, accelerating capital flight, and continuing debt defaults. And Xi Jinping’s response has been to double down on policies that caused these problems in the first place.”
“Many export-oriented factories in China will now close. I don’t see how they adjust to the sudden loss of almost all the U.S. market without massive government intervention, which is unlikely.”

- China on Friday retaliated against U.S. President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs by raising its levies on U.S. goods to 125% from 84%, the Chinese finance ministry said.
“Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy,” the ministry said in a statement, according to a CNBC translation.
“With tariff rates at the current level, there is no longer a market for U.S. goods imported into China,” the statement noted, adding that “if the U.S. government continues to increase tariffs on China, Beijing will ignore.”
