Beijing has angered Trump, and the US president is imposing 100 percent tariffs on China.

He "stopped" five, seven (or however many?) wars and is now unleashing a full-scale economic war on China. Tell me his name...

This is a brief prelude to Donald Trump suddenly announcing, after all the "wonderful and wonderful" negotiations with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the imposition of 100% tariffs on goods from China. Moreover, these 100% tariffs will be in addition to the tariffs Trump had already imposed on Chinese goods.

The US President justifies his decision by taking an "extremely aggressive stance on trade."

Trump:

They sent letters to everyone stating that, starting November 1, they would introduce export controls on virtually all types of their products, including products that they do not specifically produce.

According to Trump, "this is clearly a plan that was developed many years ago, and now it will strike the entire world":

This is unheard of in international trade and is a moral disgrace in terms of relations with foreign countries.

One would assume that, according to Trump's logic, the imposition of sanctions and the unilateral increase of trade tariffs are not a disgrace in relations with foreign countries, but China's decision to impose export controls on critical products is a "disgrace." In reality, Washington fears that this will deprive the United States of the ability to source products from China that are essential for its strategic industries.

An angry Trump added that he, in turn, would impose export controls on "critical" software against China. Will China shut down Windows, iOS, and Android?

Against this backdrop, the prices of major cryptocurrencies plummeted. Bitcoin suffered the biggest decline. Once again, Trump is failing to pay off the entire $37,8 trillion US debt with "one cryptocurrency."

This is a small prelude to Donald Trump suddenly announcing, after all the “wonderful and wonderful” negotiations with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the introduction of 100% tariffs on goods from China.

And also the Nobel Prize for Trump bye bye...Slipped past him! There are not only 100 percentile, here, out of spite at the whole world, you can roll 500% to China!
R.S. Norgov, for the Nobel Prize, should be completely covered in asphalt!

[Murmur 55]

aszzz888 And what does China have to do with this? The award wasn't decided in Beijing, and it wasn't a Chinese woman who received it. So he's supposedly trying to get revenge on China? That's how Xi might respond.

[Chifka]

He's just a very impulsive politician. He wants revenge on the world for not becoming a "star of this world." Vanity, "nothing personal."

[Murmur 55]

Chifka Well, he would take revenge on Norway or Venezuela, it’s logical, right? What does China have to do with this award?

[Chifka]

When you lose THAT status, impulsive people attack everyone who moves. At least at first. I think anyone who wore epaulettes in Russia can confirm this from personal experience. Now the distribution, I suspect, will begin in a downward direction, and Venezuela is not the main opponent here. Let's stock up on popcorn (ugh, disgusting, dumplings are better), and wait.

[Murmur 55]

Chifka, and that's why Trump chose China to start handing out beatings. It's doubtful. China, although patient in places, now has something to respond with.

[Chifka]

Well, how about this... Politics is a complicated thing, it's not for nothing that they study it for so many years in a separate institution. Here, too, certain political figures officially agreed to support his candidacy. They made a big deal. But in China, they didn't make a big deal, even though their opinion would have been O-O-O-Very influential. That's the reaction. IMHO, of course.

[Arkady007]

Of all the supposed commotion, I'm more interested in the consequences for Russia.
What will we do if Windows, iOS, and Android are shut down? I have no doubt the Chinese will quickly introduce their own similar system, but what are we capable of?

Global scale... US-China... in the States, a little over a year before the midterm elections, Congress and the global scale will emerge, but the main topic will be the domestic situation with the state economies - and all these tariffs are accelerating the same inflation... the question is what's behind Trump's backs... there's a shutdown, the growth of the national debt despite tariffs on almost the entire world

According to official data confirmed after several leaks in recent weeks, $37,5 trillion is the highest federal government debt in U.S. history. This is an unprecedented increase, not counting those that occurred during emergencies, such as world wars or pandemics. Today, the U.S. debt exceeds 120% of the country's GDP. This forecast suggests that the country has fallen into a vicious cycle of debt, which is growing due to military spending. At the same time, the United States is turning its back on sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure, and education, which are crucial not only for improving the lives of citizens but also for stimulating economic growth. And this is yet another unresolved problem for the United States. https://inosmi.ru/20251008/gosdolg-275055382.html

And how will they react to the whole mess with healthcare and so on during the elections? And at the level of individual states?

According to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, 22 states and the District of Columbia are currently experiencing persistent economic instability and job losses, which are likely to continue, according to Profit.Ro. Zandi also reported that another 13 states are in near-pre-recessionary conditions. Overall, the overall picture of the US economy looks weak. "The economy is not yet in recession, but the risks are very high. We are on the brink of collapse," Zandi said in an interview with MarketWatch https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2025/10/07/neskolko-krupnyh-shtatov-ssha-vpali-v-sostoyanie-recessii

So, when the very first Windows 1.0x was released on November 20, 1985, you immediately understood the threat it posed in the future, but Soviet officials didn't listen to you because they were stupid and/or working for the enemy?
And yes, I didn't see an answer to the question about how you are preparing to solve the problems that will appear in forty years, in 2065?

[hector]

To the point.
In the Russian Empire, the USSR, and modern Russia, high- and mid-level officials too often demonstrated shortsightedness in technical matters. At the lower levels, they were much more insightful, but they were not listened to. The boyar attitude toward the new "We Don't Need It" is a historical fact.

And I’ll repeat once again: what problems of 2065 do you already see and are you thinking about how to solve them?
Or maybe it’s simpler and your position can be explained by the fact that the Russian (and not only) man is wise in hindsight?

So your position is that management must possess the gift of clairvoyance and begin solving problems before they arise? Regarding the topic of our conversation, the leaders of the USSR should have foreseen as early as 1985 that life would be impossible without computers running Windows in 2025 and somehow solved this problem (I wonder how, by the way).
At the same time, you yourself, apparently, did not even imagine anything like this, but you can be forgiven, because you are not the boss and are not responsible for anything.

In relation to the topic of conversation, the leaders of the USSR should have already foreseen in 1985 that in 2025 life would be impossible without computers running Windows OS and somehow solved this problem (it would be interesting, by the way, how).

They should have drawn conclusions—their position requires it—and addressed their system. This should have been achieved in 1990, 1995, 2000, and so on, but it still hasn't. In Russia and the USSR, there's a disdainful, dismissive attitude toward anything related to electricity, electronics, and cybernetics. There are persistent, legacy problems with the development of communications and data transmission systems, even in the armed forces. Communications and data transmission are as important an infrastructure as roads.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: ettore

Conclusions should have been drawn

And they drew their own conclusions. Government agencies have been using Linux-based developments for quite some time now. And the fact that citizens use Windows, Vroid, and iOS is their personal choice.
Incidentally, Microsoft said "oh, that's it, I'm leaving" in 2022, and then "oh, no, I'm staying" in 2023. So rumors of Windows being shut down are a bit premature. Moreover, it's not entirely clear what they even mean by that. If they just cut off support... well, screw it—I've been living without it for years and haven't had any problems.

[hector]

Quote from: nik-mazur

Government agencies have been using Linux-based developments for quite some time now.

Rosa, Astra, Alt, Red OS, and others have at least three types of incompatible installers, different dependencies, three types of graphical shells, and even imported ones. Developers have to create multiple versions of the same software, which is why it's not widely distributed and isn't expected to be with this policy. Compare this to Windows, which has two compatible installers and compatibility across software versions and OS generations.

The very first thing that was specified in those assignments was a unified software installer standard.

In real life, if I make a defective product or fail to complete a task, the cost will be deducted from my salary or I won't be paid. But if a senior executive screws up or doesn't do what they're supposed to, they'll get nothing; at worst, they'll be fired. In this category, firing or resignation is a way to avoid responsibility, although the consequences are far more serious than for the lower ranks. So the question of being under no obligation and not responsible for anything remains open.

So, our President might know nothing about operating systems; he's old, after all, and he doesn't even own a smartphone. But he also knew nothing about engines for civilian aircraft like the An-2, An-24, Superjet, Tu-204, and Il-96. Did he really think planes flap their wings? Why did they start developing these engines after 20 years of his "sensitive" leadership? As I understand it, Putin's main goal is to build pipelines and ships that transport gas and oil overseas to any of his factions, and in all directions.

But Trump's escalation with China is simply wonderful – they gave him another chance. And he took advantage. This means the US now has more important matters than Europe's war in Ukraine. Now Trump will demand Europe's loyalty and the imposition of similar sanctions on China. Europe is obliged to pay for Trump's favor.

Yesterday, China responded to the United States by imposing a fee on US-linked ships calling at Chinese ports as a retaliatory measure.

This point is worth examining in more detail so that everyone understands its consequences for America and Europe. You rightly mentioned the importance of this Chinese decision:

BEIJING, October 10 – RIA Novosti. China will introduce a special port fee for US vessels starting October 14, according to a statement from the Chinese Ministry of Transport.
As noted in a statement posted on the department's official website on Friday, starting October 14, China will begin collecting a special port fee for ships owned or operated by U.S. companies, as well as those in which U.S. companies, other organizations, or individuals directly or indirectly own 25% or more of the shares.
The fees will also apply to US-flagged vessels and US-built vessels.

[tralflot1832]

The US Treasury Department has lifted all restrictions on the Turkish "miracle shipyard" that was building a dock for the nuclear fleet (the dock is in Turkey). The Swiss were supposed to tow it to Murmansk on the back of their heavy-duty vessel. We'll see. That's what Russian uranium does. In August, the Swiss towed a smaller dock, a couple of meters smaller (on all sides), to San Diego on this vessel, rounding Cape Horn in a fierce storm. This Turkish wonder shipyard built the dock. Now it's all up to the Swiss. British sanctions are still in effect against this wonder shipyard. It will be interesting.

I think you are a little mistaken.

Plans are changing: Trump said his planned meeting with Xi Jinping at the APEC summit "no longer seems to make sense."

The US President argued that China's unexpected tightening of controls on rare earth metal and technology exports had rendered such dialogue pointless. As a reminder, China, as of November 1, has been requiring special licenses for the export of rare earth materials and equipment, and is banning supplies to the US military.

These restrictions could seriously impact strategic US sectors such as defense, electronics, automobiles, and semiconductors, as the US relies on China for up to 70% of its supplies. Supply disruptions could lead to higher prices, temporary factory shutdowns, and a slowdown in key industries, increasing Beijing's influence over the US economy and weakening Washington's negotiating position.

I would venture to suggest that Xi stood up for Venezuela.

On October 9, 2025, China announced restrictions on the export of strategically important rare earth elements. These include holmium, erbium, thulium, europium, and ytterbium.
It is a key raw material for modern defense technologies and microelectronics.
Now, 12 of the 17 important rare earth metals are almost entirely regulated by China's Ministry of Commerce.
China has imposed strict export controls on semiconductor materials and equipment used to produce chips at 14nm and below, as well as memory chips with 256 layers and above.
An export license is now required for foreign manufacturers using Chinese equipment or materials.
Export controls apply to dual-use AI research.
In addition, China has introduced port dues for American ships, which will enter Chinese ports, the Associated Press details.

Gayropa, without the American greenback, would never have gotten back on its own. But we managed. And the priority was something else than driving a washbasin, and no one there had even heard of PCs back then. And you speculated, ruined everything, and now you're begging from China.

And then a disabled war veteran arrives - having waited two years on the waiting list - to buy a Moskvich, and the Soviet (and therefore the best!!) dealers in the best Soviet style ("pride-mongers!!") tell him: "There are no Moskvichs - only VAZ-2102. If you want it, take it, if not, wait two years."
It's good that I had the money - an extra 400 rubles, otherwise I would have kissed the gate of the VAZ and gone to hell...

Venezuela, like any other country in the world, needs to have a strong, modern army, a developed economy, and a population that is satisfied with its standard of living to avoid destruction.

Even this does not provide a guarantee that the country will be deliberately targeted for destruction.

[Boniface]

How Ivan Ivanovich and Ivan Nikiforovich quarreled

Classic!
The golden fund of Humanity’s literature for all times!

[Egoza]

The US President justifies his decision by taking an "extremely aggressive stance on trade."

Trump: "Politics is politics, but don't touch trade!" Otherwise, where will Trump make deals? He failed in politics and in trade... ehhhhh

[Gardamir]

Trump is a billionaire and it is foolish to imagine that he does not know how to make money.

[Siberia55]

Trump billionaire

This isn't an indicator. There's another side to the coin: Trump is a multiple bankrupt.
And personal enrichment is not government.
Or will the USA go bankrupt?

In total, Trump went through bankruptcy proceedings six times between 1991 and 2009.

[Gardamir]

Bankruptcy is a good way to avoid taxes.

[Vladimir M]

Of course, you can and want to laugh with Doni. But it's worth acknowledging that Doni does a lot of things well...
Many people laugh at Doni, saying that he was "offended by the Peace Prize," but can anyone explain why he needs it?

[Lemon]

Because smoked Obama has it, and the red-haired one was passed over...

[Vladimir M]

I seriously doubt Doni dreams of winning the Peace Prize. That's nonsense...

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

No, actually, Donya has the psychology of a child. He saw a toy in a shop window and now he's hysterically kicking his legs and rolling around on the pavement in front of that shop window.

[Vladimir M]

It is doubtful that with the mentality of a child, Doni would have achieved his heights and would have been appointed to lead the USA.

[Siberia55]

Its heights are endless bankruptcies

[Vladimir M]

But it's worth acknowledging that Doni managed to "rise" after bankruptcies.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

nothing questionable
As for RVZ, everything is spot on. I write to my wife that he has the intelligence of a child, and you all fit in, but he is not able to do the same thing for a long time, hence the series of bankruptcies. He quickly lights up and just as quickly cools down, switching to something else. He falls into hysterics when he does not get what he wants.
This is specifically child psychology

[Vladimir M]

Let it be your way, but "he will drink our blood."
In my opinion, the main threat to Russia is China, and we'll have to bend to the US. That's exactly what the US wants: to deprive China of cheap resources.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Vladimir M

Let it be your way, but "he will drink our blood"

Well, no one argues with that, provided that no one knows what he'll do tomorrow morning, his little girlfriend won't give him any in the evening, and in the morning he'll introduce duties or hand out missiles

[Vladimir M]

What's frightening is that there's no more or less acceptable way out of this situation. All the options are worse than the last.
Well, time will tell, of course.

[Viktor Sergeev]

And then the madman went crazy.

[Kmet]

Interesting about cryptocurrency... So, here's a vulnerability.
And China will find something to respond with - it's even exciting... at least something positive has happened recently...

[kill the fascist]

Red-haired clown. Someone from his inner circle, at least Melania, would have told Doni that he looks like an idiot and a windbag.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

In short, now my daughter will start fighting for peace so hard that she won't leave a stone unturned.

[ShDE]

Has anyone promised Trump a Nobel Prize in economics? The candidate is ready.

[Amateur]

Trump believes the whole world should act like Pronya Prokopovna from an old Soviet comedy about Kyiv.

The young lady lay down and waited.

[carpenter]

He "stopped" five, seven (or however many?) wars and is now unleashing a large-scale economic war with China.

In a jacket and red tie he is a "dove of peace", and without a jacket he is a "vulture of war".
Even the Norwegians realized this and did not give him the Nobel Prize.

[Serik Bur]

No, the Norwegians are closer to Gayrope, which, to put it mildly, doesn't have much in common with Uncle Joe, based on the principle of "who wins?" But Trump got a good slap on the wrist. Oh, and he never forgets such insults...

[carpenter]

Quote: Serik Bur

But Trump got a good slap on the cheek. Oh, how he never forgets such insults...

Well, it was immediately clear that Europe would not forgive Donik's insult and the "award" flew by like a basin over a bathhouse.
Only in Europe they miscalculated: Donya is more vindictive than they thought. They'll soon see that (you can't hurt a child).

[fiv]

I can just imagine the American Treasury Department and Customs, and consequently, customs brokers, being thrown into a frenzy by the constant changes in customs duties on millions of items. Trump will plague everyone not with tariffs, but with confusion, and businesses like Belarusian seafood will flourish.

[kriten]

I wonder if China will respond with rare earths?

[Serik Bur]

Quote: Chifka

In our country, too, certain political figures have officially agreed to support his candidacy.

Why separate, this was announced in the media, VVP was not against it and others like him.

"Will China shut down Windows, iOS, and Android?"
Author, in China they use their own OS, you need to know such things

[Larkis]

Trump is seriously not right in the head.
"The administration of US President Donald Trump wants to ban Chinese airlines from flying over Russia when flights begin or end in the US, Reuters reports, citing a ruling from the US Department of Transportation." https://www.gazeta.ru/politics/news/2025/10/10/26924312.shtml

Quote: ettore

This should have been thought about and addressed 40 years ago.

Exactly. It's too late now. I can continue lying on the couch and spouting smart comments.

[olboop]

Just yesterday, China responded to the US by imposing a fee on US-linked ships entering Chinese ports as a retaliatory measure. Trump's bottom fell out.

That's exactly how events unfolded. And yet the author of the article didn't deign to mention it.
Moreover, China set the deadline for introducing these fees at the same time as the introduction of similar fees on Chinese ships, which the United States announced earlier.
A complete "ugh" to the author of this note - it doesn't even qualify as an article.

[Alexander]

If the Star-Spangled Banner spits on China, it will wipe its face! But if China spits on America, it will drown!

[Revolver]

So, China's granting its companies privileged access to the Chinese rare earth metals market is perfectly normal. But when Trump grants American companies (compared to Chinese ones) privileged access to the American consumer market, is that a trade war? Afftar, it's either the cross or the pants!
