Boy, China Did Not Learn! They Negotiated Trade Deal, Called it 'Victory'. I Call it Target Practice!

A Deal? More Like a Temporary Ceasefire

Hmph. So the mortals of China celebrate a 'trade deal' with the loud one Trump. They claim 'victory,' that their 'resolute stance' forced the hand of the Americans. *Scoffs*. 'Boy! Do not mistake their momentary lapse of aggression for weakness. It is merely a pause before the next inevitable conflict. They have learned nothing from the past. Did they forget who I AM?!'

Tariffs Reduced? Child's Play!

They boast of reduced tariffs from 145% to a paltry 30%. As if these numbers mean anything to a god. 'The cycle ends here!' Or does it? These mortals squabble over percentages while the true battles rage on. Imagine if you will I threw Atreus at them... that would be a real reduction.

Social Media Shenanigans

The Chinese populace cheers on their 'Weibo,' with hashtags and pronouncements of triumph. Millions watch their eyes glued to glowing rectangles. They say #USChinaSuspending24%TariffsWithin90Days is trending. Mortals...so easily amused. I once trended for decapitating a god of the sea. Now THAT was a hashtag.

Promises Promises... Lies!

Beijing promises cooperation a 'consultation mechanism.' 'Lies and deceit! Such is the way of the gods... and politicians.' They offer honeyed words while plotting their next move. Mark my words this 'promise fatigue' will lead to more bloodshed. I know... I've been there.

Rare Earths and National Security? Bah!

Ah yes the 'rare earths.' The shiny rocks that power their trinkets and weapons. China tightens its grip blaming 'foreign entities' for smuggling. They claim it is for 'national security.' Always an excuse is it not? Just like the reasons I butchered the Greek pantheon... all for 'national security'.

Markets Surge. So What?

The markets rejoice stocks surge. Mortals and their obsession with... gains! 'Do not be sorry be better!' The temporary relief is fleeting. The true measure of strength is not in numbers but in the will to conquer. And believe me there will be more conquering to come.
