Trump announced new tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada on Saturday, citing concerns over the three countries’ failures in stemming the flow of migrants and illegal drugs, such as fentanyl, into the US

**Hours after the announcement, Canada slapped 25% tariffs on US goods, which will be “far-reaching and include everyday items,” according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.**

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum instructed the Economy Ministry on Saturday to implement “Plan B,” which involves tariff and non-tariff retaliatory measures against Washington.

While details have not been disclosed, sources claim that Mexico aims to impose measures on US industries such as agriculture.

China to sue US over Trump’s new tariffs

The US president has placed restrictions on Chinese goods in what he said was retaliation for failing to stem the flow of migrants and drugs into America

China will file a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and take other retaliatory measures against US President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on its goods, the Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Sunday. According to the statement, Beijing sees Washington’s unilateral tariff increase as “seriously violating” WTO rules.

In order to hike the tariffs, Trump declared a national economic emergency, invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which authorizes the president to unilaterally manage imports.

The tariffs, set to enter into effect on February 4, will amount to a 25% tax on all imports from Mexico and most goods from Canada, and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. According to a fact sheet published by the White House, the tariffs will be in place with no exemptions “until the crisis is alleviated.”

China’s Commerce Ministry said Beijing is “strongly dissatisfied” with Washington’s action and “firmly opposes” it.

China to sue US over Trump’s new tariffs

“It is not only unhelpful in solving [Washington’s] own problems, but also undermines the normal economic and trade cooperation between China and the US,” the ministry stated, adding that Beijing “will take corresponding countermeasures to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests,” without disclosing details.

It added that the US should “objectively and rationally view and deal with its own problems” such as illegal drug imports, instead of “threatening other countries with tariffs.”

The ministry said Beijing will file a formal complaint over the new tariffs with the WTO, which has legal power to permit a country suffering from another country’s tariffs to respond with its own. As both the US and China are WTO members, they are required to abide by its decisions when in dispute.

China’s Foreign Affairs Ministry called the tariffs “not constructive,” warning that this could reignite a trade war.

“China’s position is firm and consistent. Trade and tariff wars have no winners… This move cannot solve the US’s problems at home and more importantly, does not benefit either side, still less the world,” the ministry said in a statement late Saturday.

It also warned that the new tariffs will “harm the counternarcotics cooperation between the two sides in the future.”

CHINA decrees ZERO tariffs for Global South as Trump threatens to DOUBLE them to 100%

China has taken a significant step in its global cooperation strategy by implementing zero tariffs from December 1 2024 for products from least developed countries (LDCs).

In practice, this policy benefits more than 30 nations, mainly African, and seeks to promote economic development by facilitating the access of their products to the vast Chinese market.

March of the Uyghurs: Truth behind the Great Wall Of Lies .. by Andre Vltchek, now conveniently dead

Try typing ”Some Uyghurs are jihadi terrorists” in Google and you will see only thousands and thousands of posts about how horrible China is Genociding innocent Uyghurs and must be punished, sanctioned, boycotted and reviled. Just a few years ago it was Russia we were urged continually to hate, not that that has stopped either.

The reason is that the US ”defense” industry, on a $750 BILLION budget, has allocated various billions to a worldwide campaign of daily lies and vilification of China and everything Chinese. It seems China has been deemed a mortal threat to the good old USA.

Here we republish a big post by the always accurate Andre Vltchek which tries to hold back the tsunami of hatred and racism directed at all 1.400 million Chinese for their state’s diabolical plot for world peace, mutual respect and multilateralism. Andre died suddenly last year when traveling in a car with his wife. They say he had diabetes an d it was a natural death. He was also, surely, on the hit list of the most powerful men on earth.

Andre Vltchek, who died in Sept 2020 aged 57, was a world famous philosopher, novelist, filmmaker and investigative journalist. He was the creator of Vltchek’s World in Word and Images, and a writer that penned a number of books, including China and Ecological Civilization. He wrote especially for the online magazine “New Eastern Outlook.”

Also the great majority of followers of Sunni Islam are peaceful people.

The victims live in various countries.]

Explosive Anti China Hysteria Campaign: Xenophobic US Regime threatens Life on Earth

The Anger Campaign Against China by Larry Romanoff

Introduction

It shouldn’t be a secret, though it still seems to be, that neither of the two World Wars were started (or desired) by Germany, but were the creation of a group of European Zionist Jews with the stated intent of the total destruction of Germany.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

However, that thesis is not the purpose of this essay and I will not expand on it here, but the content should prove to the average reader that World War I certainly fits this description.

Who benefits from the US escalation against Huawei? – Journal of ...

The main purpose of this essay is to demonstrate not only that ‘history repeats itself’ but that the history being repeated today is a mass grooming of the Western world’s people (but most especially Americans) in preparation for World War III – which I believe is now imminent.

War Hysteria & the Persecution of German-Americans

In 1940, these European Zionist and media owners (hiding behind the stage-set of the UK government) initiated what they called an “anger campaign” with the stated cause of “instilling personal hatred against the German people and Germany”, the related parties pleased that the original 6% of the British population that ‘hated Germany’ increased to over 50% by the end of the campaign, and it didn’t stop there. The radio waves were full of descriptions of the “cruelty and blackness of the German soul”.[8] There were articles in the British newspapers advocating the “systematic extermination of the entire German nation” to be carried out after the war ended. /continues below..

WOW

**********************************************

Thus, after victory over Germany, every person of German extraction was to be executed and the nation of Germany itself to disappear forever. Those executions were actually begun – Eisenhower’s Death Camps, followed by the Morgenthau Plan, both of which eventually failed. The methods of “instilling personal hatred” of Germany was perhaps too successful. The anti-German hysteria became so severe that King George V had to change his German name of ‘Saxe-Coburg’ to ‘Windsor’, and relinquish all his German titles.

The profoundly ominous nature of America’s anti-China hysteria

It wasn’t only the US and UK where this hatred of Germans was being propagated. In countries all around the world, the media spread the same message of hatred against Germany and the Germans. Teams of ‘specialists’ were following the same script in most other nations, all instilling massive hatred for the Germans who were in every nation vehemently portrayed as evil incarnate, this nature stemming merely from the fact of their being of German origin.

In Brazil, anti-German demonstrations and riots consumed the country, with German businesses being destroyed and Germans being assaulted and killed. In almost every nation, the German-language press and use of the German language completely disappeared during the war from fear of reprisal, as did all German schools and most businesses.

None re-opened. Brazil initially was determined to remain neutral, but a newly-created university student union was co-opted and used with such great effectiveness that within a year Brazil declared war on Germany.[9] In Brazil, the US, Canada and Australia, many names of towns, streets, foods, were changed to eliminate their German origin.

Throughout the world, as in the US, false wartime propaganda was used during both World Wars to incite entire populations into an irrational hatred of everything German, even to the extent of powerful media recommendations that the entire German race be exterminated – in all nations.

With all of this and much more, America was a hotbed of hatred for the entire German population. After the Second World War, Germany was widely accused of using propaganda against the Jews, while our history books have airbrushed out the massive and unspeakably evil storm of worldwide hate propaganda against Germans by the Jews prior to and during both World Wars. Details below.

The Origins of Mass Manipulation of the Public Mind

Many years ago, the Jewish-American political commentator Walter Lippmann realised that political ideology could be completely fabricated, using the media to control both presentation and conceptualisation, not only to create deeply-ingrained false beliefs in a population, but also to entirely erase undesirable political ideas from the public mind. This was the beginning of not only the American hysteria for freedom, democracy and patriotism, but of all manufactured political opinion, a process that has been operative ever since.

Lippmann created these theories of mass persuasion of the public, using totally fabricated “facts” deeply insinuated into the minds of a gullible public, but there is much more to this story. An Austrian Jew named Edward Louis Bernays who was the nephew of Sigmund Freud, was one of Lippmann’s most precocious students and it was he who put Lippmann’s theories into practice. Bernays is widely known in America as the father of Public Relations, but he would be much more accurately described as the father of American war marketing as well as the father of mass manipulation of the public mind.

Bernays claimed “If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind” it will be possible “to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it”. He called this scientific technique of opinion-molding the ‘engineering of consent’, and to accomplish it he merged theories of crowd psychology with the psychoanalytical ideas of his uncle Sigmund Freud.[10][11]

Bernays regarded society as irrational and dangerous, with a “herd instinct”, and that if the multi-party electoral system (which evidence indicates was created by a group of European elites as a population control mechanism) were to survive and continue to serve those elites, massive manipulation of the public mind was necessary.

China Issues a Nuclear Warning to Donald Trump and the United States

The Chinese leadership would rather die (and take us all with them) than accept the immense loss of face of bowing to the absurd macho imperial ambitions of Donald Trump

By James Holbrooks at theantimedia.org shared with thanks

Beijing — Following comments made by White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Monday in which he said the United States would absolutely protect its interests in the South China Sea, the Asian superpower has fired back through its state-run media — going so far as to suggest China should beef up its nuclear arsenal in the face of Donald Trump’s presidency.

As reported by the newswire service Agence-France Presse (AFP) on Tuesday, “In recent days, Chinese social media has carried pictures purporting to show an advanced intercontinental ballistic missile system deployed in the Northeast.”

That missile system, the Dongfeng-41, was described by China’s state-run Global Times in a Tuesday editorial as “a nuclear solid-fuel road-mobile” system with “a range of 14,000 kilometers and a payload of 10-12 nuclear warheads” that can “target anywhere in the world” and is “widely considered one the most advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles.” Continue reading “China Issues a Nuclear Warning to Donald Trump and the United States”
