SPEAKER 1
Hey everybody, it's Abishur Prakash here or Mr. Geopolitics. The world is on fire after Trump has threatened to put 50% tariffs on top of the Liberation Day tariffs on all Chinese imports after China retaliated with 34% tariffs on all US imports. This is a turning point for the world, for the global economy, for geopolitics.

This is not a tariff war the way some are interpreting it, some are presenting this. This is the start of a US-China economic war, the likes of which the world has not seen in modern history. The world's two largest economies, the United States and China, are now locked
0:48
in a holistic economic war that will affect the entire world. This is how what's taking place needs to be interpreted. This is the real fight, the real status, the real stakes between Washington and Beijing and every other global capital and global business. This is the new landscape the world is entering. There's no other way to put this.

The US-China Economic War Has Begun

This is not a tariff war or a trade fight

Many are interpreting the US-China clash as something to do with tariffs or trade. They are wrong and missing the bigger picture. A US-China economic war has begun, unlike anything seen in modern history. There is no going back to the old status quo and environment.

What is on the table now is radical behavior and transformative changes that will ricochet in all directions.

However, to navigate what is happening, stakeholders must understand three things:

  • Why is this an economic war?

  • What does this mean?

  • What comes next?

This video answers these questions.
