  - 30% tarriff on China. It basically went back to the Liberation Day's 34%, not to status quo ante. - Eli - 10:22am 5/13/25
  - Both countries dropped tariffs to 10% for the 90 day pause...which is reciprocal tariffs - BaronVonZemo - 8:30am 5/13/25

      - It’s hilarious watching MAGA try to come up with a lie to refute this - Death - 12:40pm 5/13/25
      - The ridiculousness of this Atlantic opinion piece is breathtaking. So Trump folded-cuz we were - BaronVonZemo - 12:01pm 5/13/25
      - In fact they did not. They reciprocated a reduction in tariffs. They caved. [NT] - Hensou - 11:06am 5/13/25
        I said that is what the cult was going to believe. Thank you for proving my point. [NT] - Chris94 - 11:16am 5/13/25
        I'm not in a cult. That is a childish accusation and a provable lie. Your point is not proven. [NT] - Hensou - 11:30am 5/13/25
        That’s exactly what a cult member would say - Death - 12:37pm 5/13/25

        What kind of gibberish is this? - Hensou - 12:16pm 5/13/25
        
        Ruin? None. Reasonable financial advisers told clients to hold fast. Most did. [NT] - Hensou - 10:07am 5/13/25
