What the Hell's Going On?

Alright you primitive screwheads listen up! Duke Nukem here reporting live from the front lines of the global economy. Looks like China's got its panties in a twist because Uncle Sam is throwing shade at their chip industry especially that Huawei outfit. Apparently the US is accusing them of violating export controls. What a bunch of commie pinkos!

Trump Card or Dumb Luck?

So after some high level chin wagging in Geneva – you know the kind of place where they serve fancy cocktails while the world burns – the US and China agreed to a 90 day ceasefire on tariffs. Trump even slashed some of those bad boys from 145% to 30%. But now it seems like the US is saying 'Hold up partner! Not so fast!' if a bigger deal doesn't happen those tariffs are coming back with a vengeance. Sounds like someone's been hitting the steroids!

Huawei Got Problems I Feel Bad for Son!

The US Commerce Department is waving its finger warning everyone about the 'risks' of using Chinese made chips specifically those Huawei Ascend chips. They're saying these chips were probably made by breaking US rules. China's crying foul calling it 'discriminatory' and 'market distorting.' Cry me a river! Time to kick gum and chew ass and I'm all outta gum!

China's Got a Fever and the Only Prescription... Is More Retaliation?

China's Ministry of Commerce is spitting fire demanding the US 'correct its mistakes.' They're threatening 'resolute measures' if the US keeps messing with their interests. Looks like someone's ready to rumble! But hey bring it on I've faced worse. Come Get Some!

Shoot Yourself in the Foot?

According to some Chinese spokesperson the US is just bullying everyone and damaging the global semiconductor supply chain. They even said this whole thing could backfire on the US economy. Well maybe. But I wouldn't bet against America. We might be crazy but we're not stupid. Or at least I'm not. Rest of you? Jury's still out.

This is Duke Nukem's World and You're Just Living In It... For Now

So there you have it folks. The trade war is heating up and Huawei is caught in the middle. Will they reach a deal? Will tariffs fly? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: Duke Nukem will be watching ready to kick ass and take names. And I'm all outta names!
