Pepe Escobar & Nima Alkhorshid - Massive Backfire: Trump's Trade War Ends in Surrender to China (4-22-2025)

(This is an outstanding discussion with Pepe Escobar & Nima Alkhorshid that you don't want to miss. Not only are they discussing why Trump's high tariffs on China have backfired massively, Pepe discusses how China began preparing for this even before Trump's first term. Although Trump thinks Xi will call him, that won't happen. China wants to be treated with respect as the powerful nation that it has become, especially in manufacturing. China can live without US trade if that's what Trump wants.

Pepe brings us up to date on many of the important changes in China and implications of Made in China 2025, which was started in 2015 to move into more technology-intensive products & services. Of their 10 Priority Sectors, they have already reached their goal in 7 when compared to other world competitors & expect to reach all 10 in a few years.

Pepe & Nima also discuss the US & Iran negotiations, as well as Ukraine.

In all of these areas, it looks like Trump doesn't have an in depth grasp of the complex historical issues. He has to depend on others, most of whom lack these insights. This can lead to dangerous decisions when not sufficiently understanding the complex historical backgrounds. A lot depends on Steve Witkoff, Trump's trusted real estate confident. Can Witkoff listen & understand enough of Russia's & Iran's requirements and relay that information in a way that Trump can select paths that can lead to peace instead of war?
