- The US administration has misjudged the power dynamics in the trade war with China.
- Trump's belief that China is at a disadvantage overlooks how their export surplus actually benefits them.
- The US's reliance on Chinese goods, especially electronics and household appliances, complicates the trade war's continuation.
- China's economic resilience and strategic foresight allow it to endure longer than the US, while Trump may need to reconsider his approach.
American tariffs are 'inconvenient, but it's not going to be a threat to the economy... It's a $14tn-$15tn economy and the exports to the US are $550bn.'— Joerg Wuttke, former head of the European Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, discusses the impact of American tariffs on the Chinese economy.

- Apple faces high costs from Trump's trade war, particularly due to 145 percent tariffs on Chinese imports.
- Analysts believe the idea of a US-made iPhone is unrealistic, as over 80 percent of products are currently manufactured in China.
- While Apple plans to increase production in India, tariffs on imports from there could also incur additional costs.
- Apple's dependence on China and the complexity of its supply chain necessitate CEO Tim Cook's continued negotiations with both the US and China.
If Apple didn’t think the United States could do it, they probably wouldn’t have put up that big chunk of change.— White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt discussing Apple's commitment to invest in the US.
