- China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
- The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
- U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.
Still what? I’ve already explained China isn’t attacking. And if you would like Taiwan to be independent petition your own government.
That’s a bad take. Independence should be in the view of the people living there. I’m not going to gauge if Taiwan is a country based on if I can convince the US to recognize them, that’s nonsense garbage logic
Is it? So you’re for the independence of Barcelona? Hawaii? Ireland? Falken Islands? When do they get to choose?
How do you feel about the other aggressive things China is doing? Like attacking boats with water cannons because they just claim an area? Or dumping sand somewhere to make an island to claim the area? Or actual fighting and deaths over territories with India?
I think we have already established your view on Taiwan, which is hardly compatible with the general population.
I’m Taiwanese, if you look through my comment history you’ll see I showed my passport. We want the status quo. We do not want to protest or fight for independence. I’m making these posts as a Taiwanese person because I’m tired of foreigners who never have been to Taiwan or at most a vacation trying to tell me and my people how we should think.
As to the other stuff, I don’t have an opinion one way or the other. It’s too complicated and each one deserves it’s own complex analysis. I will however point you to Johnny Harris. I believe he gives a fairly unbiased opinion on all of this.

If you’re not just trolling and being anti-China I highly recommend giving it a view.
