In case y’all missed it, the (real) Xiaohongshu wrote a very lengthy but well detailed explanation about why it was in China’s interest to reduce tariffs quickly:

My brain is too fried for xioshonghu’s posts, but the US was a big part of their exports. I’m not surprised that they wanted to renegotiate the with the US.

I guess it’s a win for china, they’ve gone from absurdly high tariffs on their goods to just high tariffs.

Yeah, by making themselves indispensable to the US economy they’ve prevented the US from outright attacking them (so far) but it also means the US economy is indispensable to China’s, and they’ll keep the US alive and prop it up for far longer than it needs to be.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
