Summary
China, Japan, and South Korea agreed to jointly respond to U.S. tariffs after holding their first economic dialogue in five years, Chinese state media reported.
The meeting focused on reinforcing regional trade ties and countering potential disruptions from new U.S. tariffs expected to be announced by Trump on “liberation day.”
The three countries committed to strengthening supply chain cooperation, improving export control dialogue, and pursuing a high-level trilateral free trade agreement.
They also discussed mutual interests in semiconductor trade amid ongoing tensions with the U.S. and among themselves.
Aside from fucking up our economy, this pushes some of our biggest trading partners into the arms of our biggest geopolitical rival.
Not since the three day special military operation has a country weakened themselves so thoroughly on the international stage.
And I’m happy for it, because we suck and have for a long time.
I’m unhappily right there with you. My dad would be ashamed right now… I mean the person my dad told me he was and wanted me to emulate, would feel shame for the person he actually is and all the values he’s failed to stand up for.
