2025.10.20 Gordon Chang: The 157% tariff is certainly not sustainable for Communist China

💥💥💥2025.10.20 Gordon Chang: The 157% tariff is certainly not sustainable for Communist China, as China has never been so trade-dependent in its history. Last year, China’s trade surplus reached $992.2 billion, and this year it could be even larger. Chinese goods are being shut out of the U.S. market. China can export to the Global South, but its profit margins on exports to the rest of the world are significantly reduced, meaning Chinese exporters, especially smaller ones, are facing difficulties. So, for Communist China, the stakes in this game are extremely high!

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s announcement of export controls on rare earth minerals and their refining is not only aimed at the U.S. but at everyone, which indeed creates a common cause for countries to oppose Communist China.

💥💥💥2025.10.20 章家敦：157%的关税对中共国来说当然不可持续，因为中共国历史上从未如此依赖贸易。去年中共国的贸易顺差达到9922亿美元，今年这个顺差可能会更大。

中共国商品被排除在美国市场之外，中共国可以向全球南方国家出口，但它对世界其他地区的出口利润率大幅下降，这意味着中共国出口商，尤其是小型出口商正面临困难，所以对中共国来说，这场博弈的利害关系非常大！

中共国商务部宣布实施稀土矿物及其精炼出口管制的举措不仅针对美国，而是针对所有人，这确实为各国反对中共国创造了共同的理由
