Article: Party’s Over, China: Trump is Back Let’s face it: the last four years with Biden were the geopolitical equivalent of teenagers throwing a kegger while the parents were out of town. China helped itself to the liquor cabinet (read: our trade balance), wrecked the furniture (global stability), and left behind a suspicious stain we’ll be scrubbing out for decades (fentanyl crisis, anyone?). Now Trump is back, broom in one hand and a tariff schedule in the other. And if you think Beijing is nervous, you’d be right.
China’s Four-Year Field Day The Biden administration gave “compromised” a new definition. With The Big Guy allegedly benefitting from overseas kickbacks, China enjoyed the kind of unchecked influence in U.S. policy that lobbyists only dream about. Trade surplus? Check. Ballooning fentanyl exports? Double check. Pardons for shady Chinese nationals? Why not, right? This wasn’t leadership—it was a Groupon for corruption. Biden’s presidency left Americans wondering: Was Xi Jinping running the White House via Zoom? (content: Include Biden’s pardons for Chinese nationals, alleged ties through Hunter Biden’s dealings, and how these actions emboldened China’s aggressive stance globally.)
Trump’s Tariff Tornado: Turning the Tables Enter Donald Trump, the human storm warning for countries trying to outsmart America. Remember his first term? Trump slapped tariffs like Oprah giving out cars: “You get a tariff! You get a tariff!” Suddenly, Beijing had to play nice or face a 60% import tax that would make Walmart executives cry. He’s already vowed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods and plans to strip China of its “Most Favored Nation” status. This isn’t just tough talk—it’s the equivalent of flipping the Monopoly board and saying, “We’re playing my rules now.”

[X] SB – Trump on the Golden Age Exciting and successful period of reform and renewal. Intervening problems. China v
The Fentanyl Fight: Biden’s Blind Spot, Trump’s Target Under Biden, the fentanyl crisis ballooned. China’s role in flooding American streets with deadly drugs? Barely a slap on the wrist. Trump, however, treats this as an act of war. His proposed tariffs are aimed directly at fentanyl precursors, and you can bet there’s more coming. Because for Trump, “friendship” with Xi doesn’t mean letting it slide. It means, “Fix this, or I’ll fix it for you.”
Trump and Xi: A Complex Dance Trump’s relationship with Xi Jinping is like a WWE match—respectful handshakes one moment, body slams the next. While Biden treated Xi like an infallible overlord, Trump knows the value of calculated diplomacy. “Let 1,000 flowers bloom,” Trump joked, echoing an old Chinese saying. But make no mistake—if Trump is letting flowers bloom, he’s already figured out how to sell them back to China at a premium.
Cleaning Up Biden’s Mess If Biden’s foreign policy was a reality show, it’d be Keeping Up with the Corruptions. Trump’s return is the reboot America desperately needed. Where Biden let China call the shots, Trump is the guy who picks up the phone and says, “New phone, who dis?” Trump’s tough stance on trade, fentanyl, and global competition signals a new era—one where America isn’t just playing defense; it’s running the game.
The Bottom Line Under Biden, China played the role of an uninvited houseguest who overstayed their welcome and stole the silverware on the way out. Trump’s back, and he’s not just kicking them out—he’s billing them for damages. Because in Trump’s America, the party’s over for freeloaders, and the grown-ups are firmly back in charge.
Closing CTA: “If you want more of this kind of leadership, buckle up. Trump’s America-First policies are ready to remind Beijing—and the world—that the U.S. is open for business, but only on our terms.”
What do you think of the tone? Would you like it even punchier? The grown-ups are back running things, and just in time. I feel like the last 4 years with Biden is one of those teen movie scenes where the kids throw a party when the parents are gone from the home. Look at all that President Trump will have to clean up. https://www.reuters.com/world/china-trump-talk-up-prospects-us-china-collaboration-2024-12-17/ BEIJING, Dec 17 (Reuters) – China’s top diplomat said on Tuesday he hoped the incoming Trump administration would “make the right choice” and work with Beijing, hours after Donald Trump told reporters the COVID-19 pandemic had strained his relationship with “friend” Xi Jinping. “We hope the new U.S. administration will make the right choice and work with China in a mutually-beneficial manner to remove disruptions and overcome obstacles,” Foreign Minister Wang Yi told a forum in Beijing, according to a statement from his ministry. “We had a very good relationship until COVID,” Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Monday when asked whether Xi would attend his inauguration. “COVID didn’t end the relationship, but it was a bridge too far for me.” (…) Trump has indicated he plans to pick up where he left off with Beijing, and has vowed to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods to push China to do more to stop fentanyl flows into the U.S. He also previously pledged to end China’s most-favoured-nation trading status and slap tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% – much higher than those imposed during his first term. In response, China is seeking to amass bargaining chips to kick off talks with a new U.S. administration on contentious aspects of bilateral ties, including trade and investment, and science and technology, analysts say. https://thehill.com/people/peter-navarro/ President-elect Trump’s previous and incoming White House trade adviser, said it’s best to let Trump “do his thing” in building relationships with the Chinese and other foreign actors so he can obtain the best deals for America. In an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Navarro, a well-known China critic, was asked about Trump’s comments at https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5042416-trump-mar-a-lago-press-conference-takeaways/ that “China and the United States can together solve all of the problems of the world.” Navarro — who was Trump’s trade adviser in his first administration and will https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5021849-peter-navarro-senior-counselor-trade/ for trade and manufacturing in Trump’s second — said he was with Trump when he met with Chinese President https://thehill.com/people/xi-jinping/on numerous occasions, and he is confident in the president-elect’s ability to navigate relationships. “They have a relationship which can be productive dealing with things like Ukraine and Gaza and oil and all of that,” Navarro said about Trump and Xi. “So what we do is we trust https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump/in developing relationships with Xi, with Putin, with whoever is out there, [Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan in Turkey — people the left doesn’t like because of their obvious authoritarian methods — yet for the good of this country, we have to let the boss do his thing in order to get the best deals for America,” Navarro said. “Let’s see what happens.” Last week, https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5036797-trump-inauguration-xi-jinping/to attend his inauguration in January. Navarro shot back when asked whether he was softening his position on China. “No, not at all,” Navarro said. “OK, we had that kind of relationship. Let 1,000 flowers bloom, as the Chinese might say, but we slapped them hard with tariffs, and we were the toughest presidency on China ever.”

Paul Stone is first and foremost a patriot, and Paul thank you for believing my show and my audience. I like that while you offer people an amazing opportunity to convert some of their holdings into gold and silver, you keep your finger on the pulse of things politically. And a hot button issue for us is China. Folks, welcome Paul Stone, the CEO of Colonial Metals Group, FreeGoldGuide.com/KJRadio 800 444 6918 Paul, I read your article on China, and I was blown away. I don’t think many in my audience will question this statement: We can no longer trust our government. But what you detail about China is shocking. I’d like you to explain that statement, and then let’s discuss their growth over the past few decades. You referred to them as Let’s talk about China—their government is evil. And that word gets tossed around way too often. The definition is “profoundly immoral and wicked.” Immoral means “to go against ethical judgment” and wicked means “something that brings sorrow, distress or calamity” and profound means ‘extremely strong.’ So, the Chinese government “is very powerfully, the opposite of ethics,
