"Their entire economy will just implode without our money. It will hurt but ultimately these tariffs are what needs to happen for us to rebuild our country."

Then he was telling me about how Bill Maher, this "super liberal Hollywood guy" met with trump, and how impressed he was, and how genuine trump was, and how Trump knew all about him, and oh my god guys trump is such a genuine guy. What you see is what you get, and he "actually cares about people". Even the liberals (everyone to the left of Bill fucking Maher I guess) see how great trump is.

Anyway I kinda hate my dad and I wish I could leave this hellhole.

Their entire economy will just implode without our money

Lmao 3% of their GDP is attributable to the US.

What percentage of products in america is attributable to China though?

where is this number from, I see between 15 and 20% of Chinese exports go to the US, & US dollars are worth more than others. Like, China has actual competent people managing their economy and will weather whatever comes but this isn't going to be nothing

China's export of goods and services constituted nearly 19 percent of its GDP.

I see between 15 and 20% of Chinese exports go to the US,

0.19x0.15=0.0285

0.19x0.20=0.038

3% sounds about right

this isn't going to be nothing

this is true since so much of the rest of the economy is entwined without necessarily being direct US exports

It's the figure from SCMP but they only say "official Chinese data", presumably because they don't want to link to a Chinese language source in their English language paper.

they say "official chinese data" for the same reason others say "hamas run health agency": to activate the westoid "theyre lying!" neuron

They would simply say "official data" if that were not true

"official" is to indicate that the data is certified by some authority. So the question of which authority is relevant. You trust some more than others, even if you trust china more than, say, france, that is a relevant piece of information.

3% isn't nothing, but I am curious where the number is from
