The extra tariffs being put on Chinese goods?

The tariffs on Chinese goods is still lower than those recently applied to goods from favoured trading partners and allies.

I don’t see how that’s relevant to this point.

If you knife all of your friends in the back and then make a slightly rude gesture at someone you’ve historically argued with, it’s probably fair to question who you’re aligning to.

I’d say making rude gestures at someone you historically didn’t like would suggest you remain hostile with that person. Whether you murdered someone else has no bearing on this.

This belief has got to be the biggest propaganda victory for the Trump administrations.

It was noticeable in the first term how weak he was on this topic, but apparently losing a nonsensical trade war to them and saying mildly racist things at rallies made him tough on them? More stupidly, did he just say he was tough on China enough that people believed him?

Now that he's losing nonsensical trade wars with US allies and giving the green light to seizing territory from neighbouring countries it just highlights in neon how good he was and is for China, but it's silence (at best!) from the media.

Add in Trump implementing isolationist policies that only help China by allowing them to fill those gaps left by the US. Then there's Musk who Tweets nonsense 24/7, but somehow never says a bad word about China. Propaganda victory indeed.
