Summary

China, Japan, and South Korea agreed to jointly respond to U.S. tariffs after holding their first economic dialogue in five years, Chinese state media reported.

The meeting focused on reinforcing regional trade ties and countering potential disruptions from new U.S. tariffs expected to be announced by Trump on "liberation day."

The three countries committed to strengthening supply chain cooperation, improving export control dialogue, and pursuing a high-level trilateral free trade agreement.

They also discussed mutual interests in semiconductor trade amid ongoing tensions with the U.S. and among themselves.

Aside from fucking up our economy, this pushes some of our biggest trading partners into the arms of our biggest geopolitical rival.

Not since the three day special military operation has a country weakened themselves so thoroughly on the international stage.

And I’m happy for it, because we suck and have for a long time.

I'm unhappily right there with you. My dad would be ashamed right now... I mean the person my dad told me he was and wanted me to emulate, would feel shame for the person he actually is and all the values he's failed to stand up for.

Got disillusioned with shit back around ‘99 or so, got tired of rotwing arrogant ignorance, and having lived in a former Soviet republic for several years decide that the US needed its comeuppance. Now I get to watch it all happen. Maybe a good ole fashioned occupation by another country will finally break the backs of the ignorant and lazy for a while.

There isn't a country in the world that could occupy the US. The best option for the word is to just separate us like a cancer, and just forget the US exists like a "dead zone" or something.

Man uniting East Asia is something I didn't think that would happen in my lifetime, at least not peacefully.

Even just the headline is a ride; US literally driving everyone into China's arms.

Wish the article wasn't quite so barebones.

Fucking hell, it's so depressing living during the collapse of an empire.

The scenery is still pretty, and the air doesn't always hurt to breathe yet.

Not yet at least!

Things have never looked better on the other side of the Pacific.

Yeah this is fire. If the US crashing and burning is what it takes for those three to be friends, then thats a price im willing to pay.

The idiot America managed to get the asian countries that hate each other to work together.

Way to unite factions around the world that were previously aligned with us

[–] rylock@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago

Canada will respond Wednesday too. Could be where the "find out" phase really kicks into gear for America.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

China, Japan, and South Korea? That's hilarious. From Mexican standoff to group hug.

Ah yes, JDPON Don giving us the Chinese Century of Prosperity
