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 country is the 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 in 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...
