Protests erupt in China after furious workers demand back pay as Trump’s tariffs on imports jolt economy

NYPost: Protests from furious factory workers in China demanding back pay are spreading across the country after President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports began impacting the communist nation’s economy.

Unrest has been reported across the country as workers have taken to the streets protesting unpaid wages and challenging unfair dismissals following the closures of factories squeezed by US tariffs, according to Radio Free Asia.

Chinese industry leaders, meanwhile, are “extremely anxious” about the steep duties, with many telling factories and suppliers to halt or delay supplies, Wang Xin, head of an industry group representing more than 2,000 Chinese merchants told the Financial Times. more

  1. From the linked article: “China’s President Xi Jinping has also traveled to his neighboring countries in Southeast Asia as he looks to forge closer ties with Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia in response.”

    The intrepid NY Post writer failed to expand on how China uses Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia as proxies for relabeling country-of-origin and fraudulently sneaking their Chinese junk into the United States. None of these Asian countries are to be trusted as trade partners.

    Never forget Covid. Never forget China killing us with their Fentanyl.

  2. The deficit nation always wins in tariff war. Trump is a beast of business and street knowledge. He gets his jollies being the best deal maker out there. Punk ass demoslobs don’t stand a chance. They blurt out riposte after gem and… always wrong. They don’t know shit but they’ve been coddled and plumped along enough that they think their very utterance makes a thing so, Trump merely exposes their abject, infantile incompetence. Schadenfreude-istic-palooza! Twice times! And then some!
