China has a far stronger economy and the countries mentioned can't compete so they try to sabotage China's development.
China is a part of BRICS, and the larger global south, so the overwhelming majority of mankind is actually in favour of China.

I don't think it's in China's interest to actually bring down the living standards of Western capitalist democracies. In fact, China has a vested interest the continued success of the West, or the West's capacity to buy it's products, which depends on a degree of Western success. Imagine for a second that the West did not exist, think of the implications of that for China.
The West is effected by production continually shifting to China, service economies are innately hampered by things like trade deficit's and income inequality, so there are limits to the amount a country can be dependent on imports - yes that's important. But just as US manufacturing is about creating wealth in the US rather than undermining the living standards of those countries it exports to, the end result is much the same for any country engaged in that system.
Capitalism isn't a zero sum game - it benefits almost everyone. If the CCP don't comprehend Adam Smith's invisible hand, then they don't understand capitalism (which they have largely adopted) at a quite fundamental level.
Surveillance culture has happened in regimes - including China, with far less sophisticated technology than China currently has. Yes, it might be one of the reasons behind the push for things like EV's, but I think a big part of China's enthusiasm for so called 'green technologies', is the West's apparent enthusiasm for green tech, as signalled by many of it's leaders and policy shapers.
State surveillance and economic interest might amount to the same thing. The great moral cause, about which most Western leaders are committed to - at least ostensibly, is net zero. China's leaders, know they must deliver economically in order to safeguard their own position, but also have a genuine desire to see their population continue to prosper - economically. They calculate China's self interest is best served by investing in things that they anticipate the West will most likely want in the future. China also calculates that it stands to gain by giving lip service to things like net zero - for Western delectation, while pursuing the exact opposite approach on the ground. Part of that is to do with the fact that China is quite poorly endowed with things like oil and gas, which is why it's economy is so dependent on coal - even for electricity.

It's worth pointing out too, that while China is a huge success economically, that success is largely down to sheer size of the population and adopting Western capitalism. look at per capita income there and it's nowhere near as successful as neighbouring countries like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong - which was phenomenal success by adopting capitalism much earlier and to a greater extent than China did. Measured at the level of individuals, China is not the success it's sometimes touted as.
Even if a US government finds itself to be very unpopular - there's a corrective to that system - that's democracy, and that's part of the reason why freedom loving Americans are much wealthier than most countries, including authoritarian single party China. If most people don't want the government, they can kick it out.
One measure of the success of a country is how many want to go there, by that standard, how would you rate the success of China?

America has unilaterally decided to bring down the standard of living of all Americans by tariffing the world.
So it's right to say that China has a vested interest in selling to the US, but if that's not an option they can sell elsewhere.
If the rest of the world is smart, particularly Europe, then they too can include China as an export destination for their goods.
And if the rest of the world is smart then they'll stop buying US weapons to use in wars that do not serve their own self-interest.

My analysis is that American tariffs aka isolationism is making its economy more fragile as it increases supply costs.
If America has trade deficits it's due to the way it has structured its economy. Tariffs can't create new industries out of thin air.
The other economic point is that if America does not want to buy from the world then why buy from it. They should diversity away.

China can't sell elsewhere as a simple act of will -at least not in the short-term, it doesn't work like that. Europe has been trying to sell more to China for many years, and has less to sell these days, due to the decline in it's manufacturing - so it aint that smart, or it would have worked out how to turn that decline around years ago. New export hubs can be viable in the medium to long term, but it takes time.
I agree entirely that tariffs are a bad idea, a lose, lose situation for everyone involved. The expectation for growth in the US has already been revised down and the Fed held interest rates recently because of the potential inflationary impacts of tariffs. The US's trade deficit is because of industrial and consumer requirements, not because they were being ripped of in some way, that's just basic economic naivety. The idea that tariffs are de-facto taxes doesn't work either, because the intention is to decrease imports, so you pay more but on fewer imports.
This is a political move to make Trump look tough and have other countries kiss his backside, it's essentially an ego trip. It may actually end up with the rest of the world adopting a more diversified economy in the long term. But my guess is that when the economic impact on the US starts kicking in, that will have political consequences for the Trump administration, and he may well be forced to re-think them.

In normal circumstances you have a point but currently at 2025 the globalists are half way through the Great Reset and it’s almost midnight and to disrupt and regain national sovereignty this is how Trump is going about it and he has had some results all ready.
He has managed to weaken the WEF, WHO and UN and some of their donors have switched to his side.
Australia, UK and Canada have fallen to the globalists while NZ is still in the balance.
All this to you off course is a conspiracy theory. However I can tell you now it will not be in the globalists interest to allow China to develop too much because they will lose their cheap labour.
Let’s also remind you that the CCP has tariffs on European dairy and meat and not a word from you or the MSM. The CCP also put an embargo on many Australian exports - also not a word from you.

China has drastically reduced its exports to America since Trump 1.0 so it was fully prepared for 2.0.
You are probably right that these moves might cause a backlash in the US, but the risk to global growth is enormous until then.

Given that the hostile Trudeau has threatened oil exports to America and divert sales to the CCP, America would be better off investing in refinery infrastructure in order to be less reliant on Canadian imports.
- U.S. refining capacity has increased recently, totaling 18.4 million barrels per calendar day at the start of 2024, a 2% increase from 2023. This shows ongoing investment in refining infrastructure.
- Many U.S. refineries are already designed to process a mix of both light and heavy oils, known as the "crude slate," to produce the most desirable and valuable refined products. This flexibility allows them to adapt to changing market conditions.
- The U.S. has been producing more light crude oil from shale formations, which has created a mismatch with existing refinery capabilities optimized for heavier crudes. Investing in refineries to process more light crude could help align domestic production with refining capacity.
- Refinery modifications to accommodate different grades of oil can be expensive and time-consuming. The decision to invest in such changes depends on long-term economic and political factors, not just short-term market conditions.
- The U.S. refining industry is already the most complex and efficient in the world. Further investments could enhance this position and increase self-sufficiency.

Transparency is a hallmark of justice. Transparency demands that the nature of the criminal charges be published.
The CCP executes thousands every year (the global leader in executions) but it refuses to disclose the actual number of executions and nature of the charges because that info is deemed to be a state secret.

It is a matter of free speech. And Elon is a free speech absolutist.
The Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision ruled that political spending is a form of free speech protected by the First Amendment. This allows corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns (indirectly, through Super PACs).
