re: CNN: China quietly rolls back retaliatory tariffs (5:18 AM, Fri April 25, 2025)

What would determine that is the rate at which American companies were decoupling from China
Chinese millionaires are fleeing China. Foreign companies are decoupling from ChyNa.
Bass pointed to the nation's economic slowdown and higher yields in China's bond market as signs that investors see greater risk putting money to work in the country.
"They are facing a banking crisis, a youth unemployment crisis, a real estate crisis, their 10-year bonds are 160, and they're telling the world they're growing at 5%. It's a complete lie. It's obvious," Bass said. "We are the largest consuming nation in the world. Certainly, we can outlast China."

At the same time, sweeping crackdowns on a large number of industries, from tech to finance and private tutoring, have sent jitters through the business world in recent years, as have the disappearances of high-profile businessmen such as Bao Fan.
Bao, one of the most well-known investment bankers on China’s tech scene, has not been heard from since February 2023, when his investment China Renaissance announced that he was “cooperating” with an investigation.
Authorities have provided no details on any allegations against him or the status of any case.
“With all that has happened, I don’t think it is safe to be dependent on the Chinese market,” Meng said.
“The situation is just too unstable.”
After moving much of her money out of China, Meng has given thought to relocating someday as well.
“I have definitely considered leaving altogether,” she said.
“I am just one small business owner, but I know that a lot of much more wealthy people with a lot more assets are considering leaving China too.”
Many wealthy Chinese have already made the plunge.
Last year, China saw 13,800 high-net-worth individuals leave the country – a 28 percent rise from 2022 and the most of any country.
All the gadget making millionaires are leaving China that can, they will set up shop outside of China, and gladly pay the Trump tariffs. China will not win this.

Businesses both large and small tell CNBC that the latest round of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, targeting countries all over the world and taking the trade levies up to the highest rates in a century, could result in freight being abandoned at ports as cash-strapped owners and CEOs reject incoming goods that could financially wipe them out.
They are and will continue to be abandoned at port, btw CNBC is not exactly a friend to Trump.

Clearly an attempt to dump treasuries could backfire as well. If the prices dropped and yields went up, many investors might find U.S. bonds a great bargain compared to negative yield bonds elsewhere and buy the bonds back quickly, leaving China with a capital loss and not much else to show for it.
Are China’s Treasuries an economic weapon or a political trump card? We will see.
Maybe our new partners will pick up the bonds as part of Trump's strategy.

The Libertarian Argument for Tariffs
Posted by QboveTopSecret on 4/4/25 at 10:05 pm
2nd Amendment
National Security. Libertarian philosophy typically recognizes the state’s role in providing a common defense for its people. Protecting national sovereignty and defending the free market within the nation are core responsibilities of the state. To fulfill these responsibilities, the state must ensure its capacity for self-reliance, particularly in critical industries such as defense manufacturing and energy production. Dependence on foreign suppliers not only poses risks to national security but also undermines the stability of the domestic market.

Panic in Georgetown University.
“Unlike Georgetown University, which offered no acknowledgment or response to evidence of Suri’s Hamas links, the Trump administration took decisive action in preventing the United States from becoming a haven for extremists hiding behind academic credentials,” Stanley said. “The American people deserve universities free from terrorist sympathizers, and this deportation sends a strong message: those who support terror will find no sanctuary in our institutions.”
An upcoming report by MEF and the Clarity Coalition, due to be published next month, exposes additional connections between Georgetown University staff and departments and multiple hostile foreign governments, domestic radicals, and designated terror groups.
