1. The US’s high tariffs imposition
The Trump administration imposed high tariffs against goods imported from literally all the countries in the world regardless they are allies or enemies or neutrals.
Facing the US’s high tariffs imposition, some economists say it is for the purpose of reducing the US’s trade deficit. Some political scientists say it is a tactics to gain leverages to make favorable deals later. Some businessmen say it is for the purpose of inviting investment into the US from other countries. Some political analysts say it is for the purpose of reviving the US’ manufacturing industries.
[President Trump announcing high tariffs]
Various kinds of criticisms against high tariffs are raised: Tariffs would not revive the US manufacturing industries. It is not simple as that. Trade deficit itself is not as big problems as Trump says. Investment to the US would take years to be realized. High tariffs would cause hyper inflation that would agonize the American people. High tariffs would destroy the world trade system.
However, all of these criticisms are short-sighted and small in their perspective.
Trump and his advisors know all of these criticisms. They know imposing high tariffs is absurd from economists’ viewpoints. They know what they are doing is ridiculous and absurd from orthodox economic theories.
Trump and his advisors are aiming at something bigger.
2. The real purpose of high tariffs: Make America Great Again just like 1945
Then, what is the real objective of the US’s imposing high tariffs that would destroy the world trade system?
Actually, it seems that the US’s objective is exactly the destruction of the world trade system. The US’s objective is exactly disrupting the world trade system so that the world would plunge into the 2nd Great Depression.
First of all, Trump’s close friends and Jewish international financial capitals are happy with the plunge of stock prices. Economists say everyone and every country suffers because of Trump’s high tariffs. However, actually, close friends of Trump and Jewish international financial capitals must be making big profits by short-selling. Everything is proceeding as Trump planned.
[Schematic representation of physical short selling in two steps. The short seller borrows shares and immediately sells them. The short seller then expects the price to decrease, after which the seller can profit by purchasing the shares to return to the lender.] [1]
More importantly and more substantially, the US and its super-rich people want to get the world back to 1929-1945, because they want to reproduce the situation of immediately after WW2 where Europe and Asia were completely ruined and only the US was immune from the destruction and exceptionally prospered. For the US super rich people, the situation of immediately after WW2 is exactly the ideal beautiful situation.
[VE Day of 1945]
[VJ Day of 1945]
The US and its super-rich people don’t like the current world situation because, if the current situation continues, it is obvious that China would completely overwhelm the US and that the US would only decline and fall.
China’s growing speed and scale are incredible. China is applying AI DeepSeek to manufacturing and farming, making legacy industries into the ultra efficient productive industries. China is installing AI DeepSeek into almost every product and service ranging from EVs, humanoid robots, household appliances, government administrative services, medical services, financial services and on and on and on.
[China’s XIAOMI SU 7 is manufactured at a almost full-automated factory]
[China’s AI DeepSeek]
[China’s humanoid robot Engine AI PM 01]
AI installed Chinese products and services are more excellent and less expensive. Therefore, naturally, Chinese products and services would dominate global markets, driving the West’s companies out of markets just like China did in the area of EVs.
The US and Europe are no match against China in global markets. The US and Europe can never catch up China speed. The US and Europe’s rich people have already noticed about it.
Under these circumstances, the US has concluded that wars would be the only way to stop and destroy China.
The US has already started a war in Europe against Russia by expanding NATO eastward excessively and threatening Russia’s national security. It is the reproduction of the Nazis Germany’s Operation Barbarossa of 1941-1945.
[President Biden and President Zelensky]
The US has started a war in the Middle East too by supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and attack against Lebanon.
[President Trump and PM Netanyahu]
[Israel’s air-bombardment in Gaza]
Before long, the US will start a war in Asia by making Taiwan declare independence and thereby make China embark upon military intervention against Taiwan to prevent its independence. But, the US itself would not fight against China. The US would make Japan fight against China. The US would say it is Japan that has far higher stake about Taiwan contingencies than the US. [2]
[Japan has decided to deploy long-range missiles that can hit Beijing]
Although it is camouflaged by universal imposition of high tariffs, the US’s most strategic hidden target might be Japanese car industries.
Japan has already decided to deploy long-range missiles that can hit Beijing. The US would make Japan nuclear-armed soon. Because of high tariffs, Japanese car industries will go down and huge unemployment will occur. Based upon the people’s despair, a far-right anti-China government would be established in Japan which is willing to provoke and start a war against China. It would be a reproduction of Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945.
It will be WW3.
The US and its super-rich people want to get the world back to 1929-1945, because they want to reproduce the situation of immediately after WW2 where Europe and Asia were completely ruined and only the US was immune from the destruction and exceptionally prospered. For the US super rich people, the situation of immediately after WW2 is exactly the ideal beautiful situation.
[NYC 1946]

The US wants to get the world back to 1929-1945 so that the US would emerge once again as the world only super power ruling over the completely ruined Europe and Asia.
[Germany 1946]
[Hiroshima, Japan 1946]
[China 1945 ruined by Imperial Japan’s army]
China needs to understand it is not about a trade war. Actually, it is about a real military war that the US wants to embark against China to be waged by the US’s proxy nuclear-armed Japan.
China needs to understand that the US super-rich people and big businesses really hate and look down China and want to annihilate China completely. Despite China’s proposal to live and prosper together, the US super-rich people only regard China as a nuisance that should be removed.
3. China counters by uniting with the world nations
In order to counter and crush the US’s evil plan and make the world peace, China should form the united front against the US.
Europe
China can work together with EU, BRICS plus, SCO and the Global South to form a broad buffer zone between NATO and Russia to establish lasting peace in Europe.
[China’s FM Wang Yi at the Security Council of the UN]
China can propose, possibly together with Hungary and Serbia, that Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia and Bulgaria should become neutral states to form a buffer zone between NATO and Russia for lasting permanent peace in Europe.
[Hungarian PM Victor Orbán and Chinese President Xi Jinping]
[Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić Vučić and Chinese President Xi Jinping]
[Slovakian PM Robert Fico and Chinese President Xi Jinping]
Also, along the border line between Poland and Belarus, a broad neutral buffer zone can be made.
If Ukraine is lost, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia and Bulgaria will become a frontline against Russia. They don’t want to be attacked by Russia or be used by NATO like Ukraine under Zelensky. Therefore, the best choice for them is to form a neutral buffer zone.
Currently, Trump is advocating that Europe should take more responsibility to defend itself, demanding increase of defense budget and threatening to withdraw a part of US forces from Europe.
China can persuade EU, asserting a broad buffer zone would ensure lasting peace in Europe without huge increase of defense budget as the US is retreating from Europe.
[French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese President Xi Jinping]
The Middle East
China, BRICS plus, SCO and Arab countries should make a joint statement in which they flatly reject Trump’s suggestion that Palestine people of Gaza should move to neighboring Arab countries and declare that the two state solution is the only solution.
China, BRICS plus, SCO and Arab countries should impose severe economic sanctions toward Israel to cripple its economy and war capability.
[China’s FM Wang Yi held talks with the delegation of Arab-Islamic foreign ministers, November 2023]
[BRICS plus and partner countries]
[SCO (the Shanghai Cooperation Organization) member states, observer states and dialogue partners]
Japan
China should support Japan’s pro-China politicians through Chinese companies operating in Japan so that an establishment of far-right anti-China government would be prevented in Japan.
[China’s FM Wang Yi (front row left), LDP Secretary General & the Chairman of the Japan-China Parliamentary Friendship Association Hiroshi Moriyama (front row right) and MP & the Secretary General of the Japan-China Parliamentary Friendship Association Yuko Obuchi (back row center)]
China should maintain a close contact with LDP Secretary General Hiroshi Moriyama, who is the president of the Japan-China Parliamentary Friendship Association.
China should support MP Yuko Obuchi, who is the Secretary General of the Japan-China Parliamentary Friendship Association, and hopefully make her the next PM of Japan.
For example, the strongest counter against Trump high tariffs would be that China and Japan state simultaneously that they would stop purchasing US treasury bonds. Then, the US will get down to its knees and beg for forgiveness.
[The US’s expenditures are $6.75 trillion. But, the US has only $4.92 trillion incomes. The shortage of $1.83 trillion is financed by issuing US treasury bonds. The US is dependent on borrowing money from foreign countries.]
[A photo of The US treasury bonds sample.
If China and Japan stop purchasing US treasury bonds, the US will go bankrupted.]
The US government is dependent on borrowing from foreign countries. The largest purchasers of US treasury bonds are China and Japan. If China and Japan stop purchasing US treasury bonds, the US will go bankrupted immediately. All the services provided by the US government would stop. Even salaries for military soldiers would be halted.
Thank you.
