The Trump administration is full of contradictions. Last Tuesday, the US President said that while some movement might be possible, high tariffs will remain on most Chinese goods. On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that US tariffs on China are unsustainable.

Wrong. The U.S. has not eliminated tariffs on Chinese goods and has, in some cases, increased them.
Look at the smoke, don’t listen to the noise.

“We can confirm the reporting that Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. (CGSTL) is directly supporting Iran-backed Houthi terrorist attacks on U.S. interests,” State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on April 17th at her regular press briefing
Specifically, CGSTL has been providing targeting data and probably raw satellite imagery to the Houthis for their attacks on U.S. Navy vessels in the Red Sea.
China did not issue a clear official denial of the State Department charge.

It’s the summer of 2023 and Ukrainian troops are furiously digging trenches under Russian fire in the pine forests outside Kreminna. Suddenly, a rocket crashes to the ground, and Zhakhar, a special forces sergeant, shouts at his troops to retreat to the car.
It was a dispiriting pushback, but at least it gave him a chance to inspect his latest battlefield trophy. Examining two boxes in his hand, he saw markings that were not Russian, but clearly Chinese.

China says it wants to partner with Canada to push back against American ‘bullying’
OTTAWA — China’s ambassador says Beijing is offering to form a partnership with Canada to push back against American “bullying,” suggesting the two countries could rally other nations to stop Washington from undermining global rules.
“We want to avoid the situation where humanity is brought back to a world of the law of the jungle again,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Di told The Canadian Press in a wide-ranging interview.
“China is Canada’s opportunity, not Canada’s threat,” he said through the embassy’s interpreter.
Wang — whose office requested the interview with The Canadian Press — said that China and Canada appear to be the only countries taking “concrete and real countermeasures against the unjustified U.S. tariffs” imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Unprecedentedly high tariffs on imports from China are the latest escalation in a new cold war that may eventually turn hot, a war that we could lose. The new “adversary” is China, a fascist, racist, expansionist, deceitful, dishonest, and manipulative superpower that wants to impose on the whole world the authoritarian hellscape it’s imposed on its own population.
For the skeptics and the appeasers who don’t think China is a serious threat, or that human rights in China are no better or worse than they are here in America, it’s time to resurrect arguments from the last Cold War, arguments that worked then and ought to work now: America is a mess. A flawed, divided, fractious, chaotic melange of oligarchs and jingoists, crackers and crips, soft corporate censorship and bureaucratic gridlock, with bursting prisons and broken ghettos, with wealth inequality and simmering racial tension. We’re not perfect!

Canadians may be hell bent against becoming America’s 51st state, but if the April 28 elections confirm globalist central banker Mark Carney as prime minister it could go China’s way.
In the divisive election campaign following Carney’s appointment to lead the ruling Liberal Party, the high-flying ex-governor of the Bank of Canada with strong Chinese business connections is whipping up anti-American sentiment supported by European socialists, which has hallmarks of a CCP strategy.

In the tariff war launched by US President Donald Trump against China, much is said about the Americans’ strategy, mistakes and “brutality”. Less is said about China. Here are three truths about China’s relationship with the West that help to better nuance a simplistic thinking that many so readily embrace.

The US Commerce Department has announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 3,521% on imports of solar panels from four South East Asian countries.
It comes after an investigation that began a year ago when several major solar equipment producers asked the administration of then-President Joe Biden to protect their US operations.
The proposed levies – targeting companies in Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam – are in response to allegations of subsidies from China and the dumping of unfairly cheap products in the US market.

A Conservative candidate critical of Hong Kong laws is the target of a “transnational repression operation,” Canada’s election interference task force said on Monday.
The campaign to discredit Joe Tay, who is running for the Tories in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North, is taking place on Chinese-language social media platforms as well as Facebook and TikTok.

China on Monday threatened countermeasures against countries that “appease” the United States by striking trade deals with Washington at Beijing’s expense.
The warning follows a Bloomberg report that the US plans to pressure nations to curb trade with China if they want to avoid huge new US tariffs on their exports announced by President Donald Trump earlier this month.
The Trump administration says that dozens of nations want to renegotiate trade to prevent the new US penalties from taking effect, which would hurt their exports to the world’s largest economy.
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that one reason why China has control over the global rare earth minerals market is because zoning and environmental laws have made it too difficult for America to mine for rare earth minerals itself.
Bill Maher pleads with Democrat Senator Tina Smith to cut the 'blue tape':
Bill Maher: "We have one place here in California: Mountain Pass, they have rare earth mine there. It takes out of the ground in 1 year what China does in a day.
Could we build rare earth mines?
How long… pic.twitter.com/6gRqkKQM9D— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) April 19, 2025
Watch Carney on this file, my bet is that if elected he will help ensure China maintains its dominance by feeding the “environmentalist” efforts to halt rare earths mining in Canada.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney says China poses one of the biggest foreign interference threats to Canada.
Carney made the remarks at a campaign stop in Niagara Falls on April 18.
The Liberal leader had been asked by a reporter to expand on his comments at the English-language leaders debate on April 17, where Carney said China is the “biggest security threat” facing Canada.

Two RCMP members who openly called for the resignation of nine cabinet ministers in a letter say they are motivated by patriotism, not politics.
Sgt. Peter Merrifield and retired Detective Paul McNamara blew the whistle on what they describe as a catastrophic breakdown in Canada’s national security infrastructure and shared their reflections on the YouTube podcast Northern Perspective.

Mark Carney, another globalist-elitist China entangled type.
Just as heading into the November election Americans felt that it would be the most consequential in a lifetime, Canadians feel the same about the present contest in Canada. And it is fascinating that the Liberal Party’s strategy leading up to Canada’s election has been similar to that of the Democrats in the American election, as if they were operating from the same playbook. The most striking feature of this similarity is that both parties started out with unpopular leaders, and so both got rid of them and replaced them with someone different, but without bothering to consult the voters. Whereas the Democrat party parachuted in Kamala Harris to replace a feeble and unpopular Joe Biden without her having garnered a single vote in the primaries, Mark Carney was plopped in as leader of the Liberal party, though he had never ever run in an election. And now, given the idiosyncrasy of Canada’s parliamentary system, Carney is now running as the anointed prime minister.
