Poll -- Who will cave first in the momentous China-USA trade war?
The game-changing geopolitical event last week was the near collapse of the immense $29tn market in US government debt, threatening the stability of the American and global financial system and the safe-haven status of dollar assets. The US president boasted as the collapse unfolded that world leaders were queueing to “kiss his arse”. Twelve hours later, he was in the same humiliatingly weak position as the then British prime minister Liz Truss found herself after her tax-slashing “mini-budget” in 2022. The markets had forced him to pause for 90 days the swingeing range of “reciprocal” tariffs that he announced on what he proclaimed “liberation day”; instead he lowered all of them, bar that on China, to 10%. The markets sighed relief, but “liberation’” had boomeranged. It was Trump who was imprisoned. He and his sycophants insisted it was all part of a grand plan. Nonsense – he is economically and politically gored. He dare not risk reimposing the same tariffs when the “pause” ends without risking an even worse US debt crisis. Worse, he has killed the prospect of the rest of the world buying the avalanche of new US government debt that will follow from the https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/13/what-does-china-really-think-about-trump-they-know-about-humiliation-and-wont-take-it-from-him -

New Printer
I bought an Epson L210 many years ago. (10,15?). Wouldn't start two weeks ago - indicators showed "ink waste pads" full. Tried washing them. No Joy. Bought new ones. No good. Took to BigC. 300 baht. Works perfectly. -

Even the blinkered Trump and MAGA fans must smell a rat now?
You don't get out much, it seems. Maybe you've been banned from all search engines for inappropriate queries. Why should I use a search engine when I can just ask the person who first quoted it to edify me? -

Trump Will Blink First to Stop Financial Markets and Treasuries From Hemorrhaging Further
Trump pausing tariffs on smartphone and computer components (including semiconductor chips) in his trade war with China means he’s already blinked on 25% of US imports from China, and those are among the most important products the US receives from China. The next question is whether the Chinese will back down on any of the tariffs they’ve already imposed on US goods entering China. Perhaps they won’t pause any of them at all if they decide to use this opportunity to teach the US a lesson in “The Art of War.” -

Poll -- Who will cave first in the momentous China-USA trade war?
The 80% majority appear not to understand the enormity of the issue, nor the personalities and cultures involved in this scenario. China will not blink first. China also appears to be selling US bonds overnight from its massive stockpile. China selling U.S. bonds = higher interest rates, more expensive borrowing, and possibly slower U.S. economic growth — like putting a little brake on the US economy. Trump has picked a fight with the wrong guys. China doesn't like being bullied so it appears to be retaliating. And there's nothing the US or anybody else can do to stop them.- 1

A few have a high tolerance for the lies and stench there’s a few that are paid I suspect.
