China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods, with Beijing responding in kind.
Summary written by AI.
Edit: For those not seeing it, in this context, Beijing is China. So, China responded to China? That's the kind of nonsense an AI writes, and that sentence is nowhere to be found in the original article. Hence, "Summary written by AI."
It probably means "Responding in kind, China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods." The name "Beijing" is used to mean the Chinese government. It's clumsy wording, but not nonsense.
No it’s a major typo. China raised tariffs to 85%. U.S. raised tariffs to 125%.
Yeah but the US put 125% export taxes on Chinese goods, not US goods. Two opposite typos in the same clause is unlikely.
This is exactly the kind of mistake AI makes - each clause makes sense on its own, but the parts don't add up to a whole that makes sense, and the facts are just wrong.
One mistake, doesn't a.I. make it. .
No, that's not clumsy wording. It's nonsense. Beijing isn't going to "respond in kind" to China raising tariffs. As you correctly stated, Beijing is China. What if it said, "The United States raised tariffs to ___% on Chinese goods, with Washington DC responding in kind."? It's exactly the same nonsense.
Beijing isn’t going to “respond in kind” to China raising tariffs.
I read it as meaning Beijing/China will respond in kind to the USA raising tariffs.
China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods
That's what Beijing is allegedly responding to in that sentence. There's no alternative way to interpret it.
That's what they meant, but it's not what they wrote
Bullshit. Read the article. It's entirely hallucinated.
He is rug pulling an entire nation. Hell, probably the world. Trump is insider trading and MAGA is just too stupid to realize the grift.
He and his wealthy friends could be potentially stealing billions from our retirement funds.
Feels like 2008 out there.
Didn't remember U.S.A. threatening war against her own allies and China at the same time during 2008, more like idiot induced economic warfare.
That isn't what I'm talking about.
Nah more '29 vibes
Except this time we get the tariffs before the crash.
Nah. The Hoover administration wasn't intentionally trying to crash the economy.
Glad I was 20 in 2008 so my lifestyle had no changes at all during that recession, it was easy to stay a drugged out punk during that time
Dead cat bounce
