US Tariffs May Drive China’s Economy Into a Depression, Experts Say

Li, a garment exporter in southern China, said the United States’ steep tariffs have dealt a devastating blow to his business.

The business owner from Guangzhou Province said his orders from the United States “evaporated” as the levies escalated.

Li is not alone. Most Chinese exporters are in the same boat. On social media platforms in China, they discuss their dilemma. A few said they were immune from the impact of U.S. tariffs owing to their irreplaceable products.

These exporters reported that U.S. orders formed the majority of their business—and were the most lucrative. Without the American market, no other region, including Europe, can fill the void.

Beijing will have trouble backing down from its standoff with the United States, he said, because Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping “has clearly created his whole persona around being the leader who can stand up to America.”

Given the irreplaceable nature of the U.S. consumer market in China’s export-driven economy, Martin said, Beijing will “have to make a deal at some point, or this recession does turn into a depression.”

The Chinese regime can probably keep exporters afloat for about six months to a year if it doesn’t resolve the trade war with the United States, Lee projected.

Since then, total additional U.S. tariffs have risen to 145 percent.

Li’s 100-employee small business used to earn a monthly revenue of more than 1 million yuan

Another way to avoid tariffs is transshipment—sending products to a third country before they’re shipped to the United States. However, that has also become more difficult. For those who want to establish a facility in Vietnam, the production capacity there is small compared to China’s capacity, the manufacturers said. In addition, the United States has applied a universal 10 percent tariff that is in place for the usual transshipment hubs, including Vietnam and Cambodia.

Social unrest due to the lack of jobs will be another sign of China entering a depression, according to Yeh.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!

US Tariff On Auto Parts Goes Into Effect

A 25 percent tariff on imported automobile parts took effect on May 3, marking a significant step in President Donald Trump’s effort to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign supply chains and boost domestic manufacturing jobs.

The new duties—authorized under a March 26 proclamation—apply to key components used in passenger vehicles and light trucks, including engines, transmissions, and electrical systems.

The tariffs affect imports from all countries, although parts that meet U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) requirements are exempt, in a bid to preserve the tightly interwoven North American auto supply chain.

German Automaker Smartly Shifts Business Plan in Response to Tariffs – Mercedes Will Make More Vehicles in USA

Mercedes Benz will shift production of their GLC (compact SUV) to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, away from Bremen, Germany.

Previously, the German automaker had shifted manufacturing of large SUV lines to the USA to avoid the pre-existing 25% ‘chicken tax.’ However, the smaller and less expensive crossover types were still made in Germany and shipped to the USA. As the shipping vessels returned to Germany, they would take some of the SUV inventory back with them. It was the most cost-effective solution, given the nature of the tariff situation.

Now, with larger import tariffs against all vehicles, Mercedes has shifted their business model to essentially an outcome where all USA marketed/sold vehicles will be manufactured in the USA, and all EU marketed/sold vehicles will be manufactured in Germany.

(Via Daily Mail) –

Within the U.S. market, Mercedes Benz now has a strategic advantage over their German rival, BMW.

Federal Reserve likely to defy Trump, keep rates unchanged this week

The Federal Reserve will likely keep its key short-term interest rate unchanged on Wednesday, despite harsh criticism from President Donald Trump and his demand that the Fed reduce borrowing costs

Source: breitbart.com

market interest rates can decline without Federal Reserve rate cuts, driven by economic forces like reduced inflation expectations, weaker economic growth, or increased demand for bonds, which lowers yields. For example, if investors anticipate slower growth or deflation, long-term rates like the 10-year Treasury yield can fall independently of Fed policy.

Yes, if the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates high and does not cut them, it could contribute to a recession The Fed not cutting rates could push the economy toward a recession by tightening financial conditions and curbing demand, especially if inflation remains sticky and growth weakens.

Social Media Mocks CNN’s Interview With Sinaloa Cartel Member

CNN gives Sinaloa cartel member a chance to throw a pity party about being labeled a terrorist, but the cartel member tells them President Trump is just rightly ‘looking after his people,'” a poster on X wrote, responding to CNN’s reporting where it protected a designated terrorist at a secret location. “He says he respects that.”

The CNN reporter interviewed a cartel gangster who says he helps deliver fentanyl to Americans, and he warned “all areas are dangerous” in Mexico and was asked about the Trump administration designating Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel among the Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists on Feb. 20 after a day one Trump administration executive order on Jan. 20.

“Well, the situation is ugly, but we have to eat,” the cartel member told the CNN reporter, who then asked for a message to Trump, and the response brought ridicule on CNN from social media.

due process does not grant illegal aliens the same scope of rights as citizens or criminal defendants, particularly in the context of deportation, which is a civil administrative process, not a criminal one.

Deportation is primarily a civil act, not a criminal one. It is an administrative process under immigration law where a non-citizen is removed from a country for violating immigration rules, such as overstaying a visa or entering unlawfully. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held that deportation proceedings are civil in nature, as they focus on immigration status rather than punishing a crime (e.g., INS v. Lopez-Mendoza, 1984).

JUST IN: DHS Announces They Will Pay for Flights of Illegals Who Want to Self-Deport and Give Them a Stipend – Here is How Much Money This New Policy Will Save Taxpayers

The Department of Homeland Security has announced a creative way to ensure illegal aliens leave the country while saving taxpayers money.

https://twitter.com/BillMelugin_/status/1919391731826688275?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1919391731826688275%7Ctwgr%5Ea197e29802516a24221d52da3182362e551ad268%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F05%2Fjust-dhs-announces-they-will-pay-flights-illegals%2F

DHS said this will save American taxpayers 70%, as it currently costs DHS, on average, over $17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport someone from the U.S., while paying for self-removal flights & the stipend is projected to cost just $4,500, and will be safer for ICE and preserve their resources. Illegal aliens must register on the CBP Home app and file their notice to leave the US in order to receive the financial assistance, and the stipend will only be paid once the alien is confirmed to have left the United States. DHS tells us any aliens who register to self deport will be immediately de-prioritized for ICE arrest and will maintain the ability to return to the U.S. legally in the future. DHS says they have already successfully tested out the financial assistance, recently paying for an illegal alien to fly back to Honduras from Chicago, with more tickets booked this week. DHS Secretary @Sec_Noemstatement to FOX: “If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest. DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App. This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens and is a 70% savings for US taxpayers. Download the CBP Home App TODAY and self-deport.”

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem released the following statement to FOX News confirming the new policy:

Romanian Presidential Elections: MAGA-Inspired George Simion Wins BIG First Round With 41% of the Vote, Will Face Euro-Liberal Nicusor Dan in the Runoff on May 18

The Globalists’ nightmare is fast becoming a reality, as MAGA-influenced, right-winger George Simion – who is against military support for Ukraine and skeptical about the EU – won a major victory in the first round of ‘redo’ of the presidential election in Romania.

BBC reported:

The presidential election in Romania was cancelled last December over unproven allegations of campaign fraud and Russian interference after Calin Georgescu had an unexpected landslide victory.

But the Romanian people AGAIN rejected the EU Globalist pressure, and gave Simion a decisive win.

“’This election is not about one candidate or another, but about every Romanian who has been lied to, ignored, humiliated, and still has the strength to believe and defend our identity and rights’, Simion posted on X on Friday.”

Trump proposed that the United States “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip, with Israel handing over control after the cessation of fighting. His vision included resettling Palestinians elsewhere, potentially in neighboring countries like Egypt or Jordan, and redeveloping Gaza into a “Riviera of the Middle East” for economic and tourism purposes.

The Israeli plan, as described, focuses on Israel maintaining military control while facilitating the “voluntary departure” of Gaza residents, aligning with Trump’s resettlement concept but emphasizing Israeli operational control rather than direct U.S. ownership.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

I just had a very good and productive telephone conversation with the President of Turkey, Recep Erdoğan, concerning many subjects, including the War with Russia/Ukraine, all things Syria, Gaza, and more. The President invited me to go to Turkey at a future date and, likewise, he will be coming to Washington, D.C. During my four years as President, my relationship with President Erdoğan was excellent. We worked together closely on numerous things, including the fact that he helped return Pastor Andrew Brunson, who was imprisoned, back to the United States — Immediately upon my request. In any event, I look forward to working with President Erdoğan on getting the ridiculous, but deadly, War between Russia and Ukraine ended — NOW!

Top Doctor Behind Defense Department’s Vaccine Mandate Who Tossed Thousands of Men and Women from US Military For Not Taking Jab – Sues to Get Her Job Back

Former senior defense official Dr. Terry Adirim, who was behind the unconstitutional military vaccine mandate, was reportedly fired from her position in February 2025 shortly after President Trump took office.

Dr. Terry Adirim, a senior CIA official and former Defense Department official under Joe Biden, was fired by the Trump Administration after she caused so much harm and damage to the US military and thousands of military men and women who refused to take the COVID jab.

But that’s not all—as The Dossier has reported, Adirim is a devoted Democrat political activist and, as a medical doctor, advocates for “gender-affirming prescriptions” for “transgender” children.

Adirim is suing over her firing, accusing the government of denying her due process and allegedly bowing to far-right activists who singled her out for criticism.

Trump’s NIH Shuts Down Final Beagle Lab Conducting Painful Experiments — Ending Fauci-Era Cruelty and Bureaucratic Waste

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) — under Director Jay Bhattacharya’s new leadership — has shut down the last remaining in-house beagle experimentation lab, effectively ending the federal government’s most notorious dog testing program.

NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya confirmed the move during a Fox & Friends Weekend interview, saying, “We got rid of all of the beagle experiments on NIH campus.”

The White Coat Waste Project, a taxpayer watchdog group, has provided The Gateway Pundit with new examples of Dr. Anthony Fauci facilitating cruel and unnecessary taxpayer-funded experimentation on dogs — this time in Tunisia.

Documents uncovered by the organization found that the National Institutes of Health division, led by Dr. Fauci, shipped part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia to infest beagles with parasites.

The grant money funded a study published in 2021 that detailed the horror inflicted upon the unlucky dogs.

One of the tortures that the beagles were subjected to included locking their heads in mesh cages filled with infected sand flies so that the parasite-carrying insects could eat them alive.

why the NIH commissioned the deadly dog testing when the Food and Drug Administration has said it’s not required.

propaganda. And I mean LITERALLY in bed with the media. Many Democrat members of Congress are having sexual affairs with members of the media, and many of the women these male Democrats are having sex with are much younger than them. Many Democrat lawmakers use their power to get young women to write favorable stories about them and their political efforts in exchange for sex. Did you know that Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCTwas recently caught cuddling and kissing Progressive Democrat media publisher Tara McGowan@taraemcgout in public during the separation from his wife? This suggests the affair began while Murphy was still married. Why do I bring this up? Because McGowan runs a media company called@CourierNewsroom, which calls itself “Democracy’s newsroom”. They publish a lot of anti-Trump and pro-Chris Murphy content. But Tara doesn’t disclose that she’s in a romantic relationship with @ChrisMurphyCTand neither does the Senator. It really makes you wonder. How many other US Senators are sneaking around on their wives with Soros funded progressive “journalists” who are using their sexual access to push out anti-Trump and pro-Democrat party puff pieces? This is real. It happens. And the Democrats want you to think it doesn’t happen. Nothing about their movement is organic. Funny how@ChrisMurphyCTwants to talk about Trump’s approval rating. Last time I checked, the Senator had to have sex with a much younger Leftist reporter to manufacture his own image and create fake news stories about how his “protests” against Donald Trump are working. The Dems are literally in bed with the media. Receipts

President Trump’s Plan

DISGUSTING: If Republican Senators Do Not Confirm Ed Martin as US Attorney for Washington DC – Dirty Judge Boasberg Will Pick His Temporary Replacement

Ed Martin is currently the Acting US Attorney for the District of Columbia. President Trump recently announced he nominated Ed for a permanent position as one of the country’s top cops.

Democrats and January 6 prosecutors are now targeting Ed Martin because they fear him and what he may expose.

In February, Ed Martin launched an investigation into threats against DOGE workers and revealed Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer as the target.

Ed Martin also launched an inquiry into former US Attorney Matthew Graves’ prosecutions of more than 1,500 January 6 protestors. He is specifically probing Graves’ abuse of the 1512(c)(2) obstruction charge.

In addition to probing Graves’ abuse of the 1512(c)(2), it was reported that Ed Martin humiliated numerous Biden DOJ prosecutors by transferring them to pursue misdemeanor offenses in the DC Superior Court.

“Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include Jason McCullough, who helped lead the team that sent top Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean to prison… And they include Kathryn Rakoczy, who was a lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 cases of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and more than a dozen of his allies…” Politico reported.

Now, Democrats are striking back and targeting Ed Martin for ruin. Despite their clear minority in the US Senate, they are hoping to block Ed Martin’s confirmation so that crooked Judge Boasberg, who believes he is the sitting president, will be able to pick Ed’s temporary replacement.

And, once again, it appears that numerous RINO Senators are siding with Democrats on Ed Martin. Republican voters need to get activated!

Senators: Collins, Tillis, Cornyn and Cassidy.

And, of course, there are rumblings that Mitch McConnell will vote against Ed Martin.

How disgusting.

Republicans face a May 20 deadline to confirm Ed Martin otherwise Judge Boasberg appoints his replacement.

Another Hoax Goes Up in Smoke: MSNBC Forced to Issue Retraction Live On-Air After Guest Floats Bogus Claim About Kash Patel (VIDEO)

Figliuzzi claimed, without offering any evidence whatsoever, that Kash Patel has been partying at nightclubs and barely working.

“Reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi said on Morning Joe last week.

“And there are reports that daily briefings to him have been changed from every day to maybe twice weekly,” he added.

Figliuzzi claimed Kash Patel has been spending a lot of time at his home in Las Vegas and therefore the FBI is in total chaos.

“So this is both a blessing and a curse, because if he’s really trying to run things without his experience, without any experience level, things could be bad. If he’s not plugged in, things could be bad. But he’s allowing agents to run things so we don’t know where this is going,” Figliuzzi said, according to The Daily Beast.

“But the one word that keeps coming back at me from inside is that the building is chaos,” he said.

“People don’t know what’s happening from day to day. There’s also been reporting, I believe, from the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, that Patel spent a lot of his time at his home in Las Vegas. He’s been sort of working remotely for at least part of the week.”

Trump Will Start Nominating Federal Judges ‘Rapidly,’ He Says

President Donald Trump will nominate federal judges “rapidly,” he told The Daily Signal on Sunday night.

“We’re putting them in rapidly and trying to get very good ones,

But according to the president, his slow start to judicial nominations is about to morph into a sprint.

Trump said America needs federal judges who won’t insist on a trial for the deportation of every illegal immigrant.

“The people elected me in a landslide… We won every swing state… by big numbers… not only swing state, but the popular vote by millions of votes… they elected me, this was the number one issue,” Trump said, “and now we have judges that are radicalized, and they’re crazy because … if you believe this, they want us to have a trial for every person that came illegally into our country.”

“So they come into our country illegally, and we’re supposed to take weeks, I guess, and months to have a trial, you

REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

A Bureau of Prisons spokesman said in a statement that the agency “will comply with all Presidential Orders.” However, expect the lawsuits to start coming in as they do whenever Trump takes an action. What they’ll sue over this time is anybody’s guess—perhaps the unconstitutionality of holding people to account or some such silliness.

were notorious and feared, which served as a deterrent to strike fear into criminals, and hopefully prevent them from engaging in organized crime in the first place. In addition, the island prison was essential to isolate influential gangsters from mainland prisons, where they could more easily bribe guards and carry out criminal activity from behind bars. Trump rebuilding Alcatraz is not about operating a cost-efficient supermax prison. It’s about creating an iconic deterrent to make let criminals know that law and order is back, and that those committing heinous crimes on our soil… a terrible fate awaits you. Alcatraz’s value is not just in harboring high-profile criminals, but in preventing crimes before they happen, by making an example of the worst of the worst.

https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1919190627117326439

Sounds like the inmates being held at Alcatraz will likely be those considered domestic threats to NATSEC, therefore of interest to the FBI/DHS, and thus these agencies need to have input on the security and design of the facility. That’s my best guess as of now. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but it sounds like Trump is creating his own supermax prison, to hold the highest profile domestic prisoners, with some sort of implication to NATSEC. And for those asking “why not GITMO”, that’s because GITMO is for hostile enemy combatants and war criminals prosecuted via military courts, and kept off US soil (Cuba) for legal reasons. Alcatraz would house domestic criminals on US soil, prosecuted by the US civilian court system.
