Beijing's measures come in the wake of duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration earlier this week.
  • 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.

    But the deep depression wasn’t entered “willingly”. Better justification for righteous anger back then.

      People can be angry at Trump and that momentum could be utilized by the next candidate. Nah, sounds too elaborate.

      You could just form an authoritarian dictator monarchy, and gun down anyone who disagrees. There are many countries that followed this path already.
