How Global Trade Is Shifting Between the US and China?
A Think School business case study, recorded in February 2025, on the US-China trade war and its tariffs. The presenter gives three reasons he says Donald Trump is hostile to China, which he lists as alleged intellectual property theft, a large trade gap and security worries about Huawei. He then argues, citing a Wall Street Journal editorial and economists, that tariffs may hurt US consumers and jobs, using examples such as iPhone production costs, 2018 washing machine tariffs and steel tariffs, and finishes by asking whether India can gain as companies leave China and why he thinks it is not ready. Sponsor: the video description promotes fixed deposits on the smallcase app, and Think School's own Communication Masterclass course. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note is based on the opening, the three reasons section, the tariff cost and jobs sections and the India closing, and may not cover every point in the roughly 23 minute video. Political claims, figures and forecasts are the presenter's own, were current at the time of recording, and are not independently checked. This is not financial or investment advice.
