China provokes Americans..!? China's strategic shift..!?

US President donald trump on the 2nd imposed reciprocal tariffs on about 150 countries, including india and China. In particular, he imposed a 54 percent tariff on Chinese goods. The following week, china retaliated by imposing a 34 percent tariff on its goods. In response, the trump administration imposed a 104 percent tariff on Chinese goods. But china, which was not at all reluctant, increased the tariff on American goods to 84 percent. This threatened to break out a trade war between the two countries. In this situation, trump recently announced that he would suspend tariffs on other countries, including india, for 90 days. trump also increased the tariff on Chinese goods to 125 percent, which will come into effect immediately. Trump's move reveals that he has deliberately isolated China. At the same time, china has taken steps to divert the American people from Trump's tariff imposition through its telecommunications attack. china is warning that ordinary Americans, not foreign countries, will have to pay the price for Trump's aggressive trade policies.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning uploaded a video on X. In the video, an American importer speaks to trump supporters and the American public, warning that Trump's reciprocal tariffs will raise prices and burden consumers. Mao Ning in that X post, Do foreign countries pay taxes? No - American businesses pay taxes and then charge you (Americans) for the cost of the taxes. He had written that tariffs do not bring back production, they are just a tax on Americans. This news reflects China's strategic shift to communicate with American citizens and presents the narrative that tariffs are targeting foreign economies without domestic consequences. It also indicates a deliberate attempt by china to challenge Trump's protectionist stance by using America's own political tradition.
