"This is not about economics.
This is not about patriotism, or markets, or ‘protecting national industries.’ This is rearmament. The greatest in your history.

Every tariff—a ritual.
Every negotiation—a coded signal between titans preparing for collapse." (The screen zooms into a handshake between diplomats. Numbers overlay the image: 34%. 47%. 84%. Then the frame freezes—red slashes through the data.) "China and the United States are not enemies."
They are actors on the same stage.
