Summary
U.S.-China tensions are escalating as Trump imposes tariffs on all Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to retaliate and vow to fight “any type” of war.
China is boosting defense spending by 7.2% while portraying itself as a stable global partner.
The fentanyl issue adds to disputes, with Beijing dismissing it as a pretext for tariffs.
China faces economic struggles but is injecting billions to stabilize growth.
If Trump continues escalating tariffs, the trade war could intensify, worsening global economic and geopolitical instability.
These world leaders desperately want to be seen as tough guys but they’re merely overcompensating for their micropenises.
