because trump wants to have some success stories to have occured within his "first 100 days"
thats why he is trying to push for peace with ukraine and russia quickly too

Nah, first 100 days success doesn't matter in country whose Citizen are already angry with the policies. I am pretty sure there are quite a number of people who voted for trump and are right now angry and wish they never voted him.

other countries dont have the capacity to take on all the stuff... thats why its stockpiling at chinese ports and being charged demurrage charges for being left there, no one else is willing to take that much in that huge amount
chinese businesses are also trying to sell fully retail ready and working stuff for scrap price domestically just to get it off the ports. but other countries are refusing as they will be lumbered with the stock pile

They do have the capacity. Like I said, there might be impact an the next few months, but it won't be the same after a while. Stop thinking the world rotates around the US only, and this is the same reason China doesn't really care anymore. US wants to bully about anyone, forgetting that the population of the rest of the world is way much bigger.

EG where by africa does not have much of a rainy season. whom would want thousands of umbrella's per container
EG whereby african heat means people wear open toed sandalls, whom would want high heel stilettos and leather boots
EG whereby africa's national grid electric* does not extend to most rural towns and villages, whom wants hundreds of air friers and electrical devices per container
[endless examples]

*most of africa's population are unelectrified (about 600m peoples homes dont have national grid access)

most other countries dont want an onslaught of near free stuff as it then hurts their own economics of their own business/manufacturing
EG if they take on loads of free solar, their own solar businesses in africa will shut down so they would rather say no to protect their own economy
EG if they take on loads more rice. then their own rice farms would suffer

this is what america is trying to do and others are following. not let china push other countries into accepting discounted stuff which would stop countries domestic production

..
decades ago china done this as a strategy.. they sold stuff below cost(businesses subsidised by chinese gov) to get other countries like the US to sell it and switch off US manufacturing and just rely on chinese supply. then china tied the US into trade deals of decades long contracts to only get certain goods from them rather than other countries

china would also offload underpriced stuff into vietnam and thailand to shut down their manufacturing. or even just buy up other countries factories to destroy the competition...
.....

I have a simple question, do you ever get to travel around the world?

the stuff china have factories for that ar getting affected by the US trade issues.. other countries are not usually taking those goods
things like toys and electronics. which are designed for the US market either by toy character resemblance to popular american tv shows, would be unknown/unwanted gifts in many other countries
the electronics are using US power standards which can be different to other countries
you would be surprised how many things are just not compatible to other countries desires.

take some countries where makes wear turbans or skullcaps due to religious culture, they wont really want baseball caps.
