Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The US is already in a trade war with China that's only escalating. The most immediate impact would be that the US could block Chinese companies trading with Cuba from access to their market.
Sure, but according to this, US-China trade in 2023 represented around 575 billions $ worth of goods (of which US goods produced in China wouldn't be immediately impacted I suppose). I guess it would depend on who gets hurt more, China or the US at the end of the day but it could have huge consequences for both countries
It's absolutely about who gets hurt more, and it's worth noting that China has already been actively redirecting trade towards the Global South https://asiatimes.com/2024/05/2-words-explain-china-export-surge-global-south/
I think the big difference is that China produces things that the whole world needs, and it's much easier for Chinese companies to find alternative buyers than for US to find things they get from China, many of which aren't even produced anywhere else.
