  1. 作为一个历史爱好者,我会想中国古代为什么会重农抑商,但商却一直也比农民有钱经济地位也更高,随着年纪越发,我越能明白了。农业是满足基本生存所需的产出,这就是制造业,是国家的基石,所以农民经济地位不一定高,但政治地位如参加科举得权力都比商人要高,在留存的诗词歌赋中和画作中都是歌颂农人的。吃的是满足人体需求,其他用的也是,在现代用的就是制造业,我们不会放弃制造业,也放弃不了,这个思维几乎跟重农思维是一样的。所以特朗普觉得跟一个具有几千年农业稳定历史的国家斗得过吗?可能也是时候用现代朝贡贸易体系重塑世界贸易体系了。

  2. The world is not only the US why rest of the world leaders meats and fixed the problem by ultimately stopping buying a commodity for the US dollar this is good free people to brainstorm

  3. This video breaks down the potential global consequences of America's retaliatory tariffs in such a clear and engaging way! 🌎💥 The thought of a global recession due to trade wars is both fascinating and concerning. How will these tariffs impact our daily lives, from job security to the cost of goods? I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you think the tariffs will trigger a global recession, or is it just political posturing? Let’s discuss in the comments!

  4. The Chinese government has long been prepared to address this series of issues, otherwise it would not have responded so quickly. The Chinese government has many contingency plans that can address various challenges in the future.

  5. As Chinese, i think American behavior only shows how desperate they are and how weak they have become.What we need to do is hold our ground firmly, focus on our own advancement and leave everything else to the time. Currents beneath our feet will shift and enemies will disappear, thats how we have survived last 4,000 years and hopefully 4,000 years more❤. Peace and love🎉

  6. I can only reiterate, Lumpy is just an egotistical old reject Gotti Tool; voted in by gullible FOOLS?? Now watch him wreck the global economy and american family savings??
    DON'T B-Lame blaming us? You all voted the fool in???

  7. If china Holt's their exports for one week all supermarkets and stores around the world will be empty. Come on Donny let's see if you can handle that.

  8. There can never be trade with a racist genocidal occupier colonizer European Caucasian because they say that they are the rulers of the world the KKK mentality

  9. Trump may not know that there are 8 billion people in the world. The United States intends to use more than 300 million people to control the remaining 7 billion people. The United States will lose such a global war.

  10. It is heart-breaking to see the collapse of the US as a country and it's once great economy, but China will win- because it's based on economic reason, not delusion. Trade wars only weaken the US.
