China Threatens Retaliation Against Allies Who Sign Trump Trade Deals

The Chinese Communist Party is in full panic mode as President Donald Trump continues to upend the global trade system and this time, they’re not just targeting the U.S.

On Monday, China threatened to take “countermeasures” against any nation that signs a trade deal with the Trump administration “at the expense of China’s interests.” The statement from Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce is a clear signal that Trump’s no-nonsense economic strategy is working and the Chinese regime knows it.

“Appeasement cannot bring peace, and compromise cannot be respected,” the communist government said, as it vowed to punish nations who seek closer trade ties with Washington.

The warning comes as over 130 countries are currently in talks with the Trump administration for new reciprocal trade deals. In a major diplomatic meeting scheduled this week, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi will sit down with Vice President JD Vance in New Delhi to iron out the framework for a U.S.-India bilateral trade agreement.

• Trump’s current tariffs on Chinese imports have been hiked to 145%, while China has retaliated with a 125% tax on U.S. goods.

• Tariffs for most other nations were frozen at 10% for 90 days, giving allies an incentive to negotiate before the window closes.

• Trump says many world leaders are “lining up” to make deals because they know “we are serious.”

And it’s working.

In contrast to the weak, apologetic globalism of past administrations, Trump is now showing the world what America First actually looks like: strong, clear, and unapologetic economic leadership. Instead of bowing to China’s threats, countries are now recognizing that building in America and trading with America is the key to stability, wealth, and growth.

China, meanwhile, is scrambling. President Xi Jinping has been courting smaller nations like Vietnam and Malaysia in a bid to salvage regional influence. Desperate to paint Trump as a global bully, Beijing is now attempting to blackmail entire nations into isolation.

But the world isn’t buying it.

Trump’s message is simple: You want to do business with the world’s largest economy? Great do it fairly. No more one-sided deals. No more theft of intellectual property. No more outsourcing American jobs to enrich communist regimes.

China’s threats only highlight just how dependent they’ve become on exploiting broken systems that Trump is now tearing down brick by brick.

As Trump recently said, “We must rebuild the wealth of our great country and create true reciprocity. But for those who want the easiest path: Come to America, and build in America.”

The world is waking up. The global economy is shifting. And once again, Trump is leading the charge.
