President Donald Trump has acquired the nickname “The Lord of Eternal Tariffs” in China, as jokes and memes about the tariffs he has imposed on Beijing and other U.S. trading partners spread online. China is embracing this nickname as state media uses it to rally the public and ordinary internet users find humor in Trump’s policy decisions. The world’s two largest economies are locked in a trade dispute over high tariff levels, with China taking a hard line and insisting all U.S. tariffs be revoked for a resolution. Despite the potential impact of the tariffs on their populations, both countries are far from reaching a trade deal. Chinese social media users are mocking Trump’s strongman aspirations, with some jokingly depicting him as a Chinese emperor or imagining the U.S. reverting to a manufacturing-focused nation. Both China and the U.S. are exploring ways to minimize the impact of the tariffs on their economies, such as granting exemptions to certain products and encouraging companies to sell goods domestically instead. However, experts warn that the campaign to boost domestic consumption may not be successful, as Chinese exporters may struggle to make up for losses in other markets. The situation remains tense as negotiations between the two countries are disputed, with both sides unable to agree on talks taking place.
