But soon they received news that the Xiaomi SU1, Xiaomi Y, and TC Mini were being rolled out across China, South Korea, and even exported to the European market.
This also indicates that the war between electric vehicles and gasoline vehicles has spread to the global automotive market.
What happened in the United States also happened in other countries.
Gradually, even the giants of the gasoline-powered car industry, such as Ford, Buick, and Cadillac, couldn't hold on any longer. With no other option, they had to turn to Trump again.
"Mr. President, you have to help us! Several car companies have already gone bankrupt. You can't just stand by and watch us go bankrupt too."
“I want to help you, but how can I? I can’t just force consumers to buy gasoline cars.”
"No, no, Mr. President, you only need to raise the tariffs on these three models of cars entering the US, and make them raise their prices. That will solve the problem at its root."
Trump thought it made sense. Indeed, many workers were unemployed, and he was under a lot of pressure. If these three major automakers also went bankrupt, a large number of workers would lose their jobs, which would definitely cause social unrest, and his presidency would be over.
So Trump waved his hand and raised tariffs on these three cars by 50 percent.
China quickly responded by raising tariffs on all American-branded cars by 50%.
Come on, let's hurt each other.
Lin Chen was furious when he heard the news.
You, Trump, are still going on about raising tariffs, aren't you?
Soon after, Xiaomi Auto issued an announcement.
"Due to high tariffs, Xiaomi Auto is operating at a loss, so it has been forced to close all charging stations in the underground parking garages of Meidi Mall."
The announcement caused panic among consumers who bought the Xiaomi SU1, Xiaomi Y, and TC Mini, especially TC Mini owners.
No, buddy, you can't do this! If you do this, will I ever be able to drive this car again?
I bought the TC Mini because I didn't have the money, and now you're telling me that buying this car also means I need to buy a house and install a charging station?
However, they quickly realized that it was all because of Trump. Why would he raise tariffs for no reason?
Soon, protests erupted in cities across the United States, criticizing Trump for doing this, saying it was a major event that harmed the interests of the American people.
Meanwhile, his rival, Old Deng, saw this situation and his eyes lit up. He never expected that such an opportunity would come to him while he was sitting at home.
Trump, you old codger, you've finally met your match! Hahaha, now it's time for my performance.
Old Deng immediately launched a nationwide speaking tour, focusing on this very issue, accusing the Trump administration of disregarding people's livelihoods and interests, and claiming that it was definitely colluding with the capitalists of the gas truck alliance.
Trump didn't expect things to escalate this much, mainly because he didn't realize there were so many poor people in America who couldn't even afford to buy a house.
Moreover, the most crucial thing is that Old Deng jumped out at this time, which might win him a lot of votes. No, I have to lower the tariffs back first.
So, the next day, Trump held a press conference and announced that he would reverse the tariffs on the Xiaomi SU1, Xiaomi Y, and TC Mini.
Trump lowered the price, but China did not, which caused American car brands to complain loudly.
Trump couldn't do anything about it; it was China's own decision, so why should he interfere?
As a result, several more car companies failed to survive and filed for bankruptcy.
Tens of thousands more workers are unemployed, and Trump is in a real bind. What kind of mess is this?
Lin Chen restored all the charging stations, which greatly eased the tense social atmosphere in the United States.
Now it's Ford, Buick, Cadillac, and other automakers' turn to be at a loss. After all this, it turns out we're the only ones who are hurt.
However, it is also frustrating that although capital is the dominant force in capitalist countries, capital is divided into factions. Some capital has armed forces and thus becomes the official force, while the part without armed forces is still inferior to the official force.
There's no way around it, what does "official" even mean?
The official response is basically, "If you don't listen to reason, I also know a bit of martial arts!"
As Chinese electric vehicles have taken over the global markets of Ford, Buick, and Cadillac, these globally renowned automakers have inevitably declined.
Bankruptcy is unlikely, but five or six out of ten production lines may have already stopped operating.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers began to appeal to the government for help, hoping to receive some meager relief funds.
Seeing this, Old Deng stepped forward again, accusing Trump of being completely incapable of leading the people of this country to a brighter future!
This opinion has also received support from a lot of capital.
On the eve of Christmas, Trump received news that his votes were far behind those of Biden, and that Congress would announce the new presidential candidate after Christmas.
It's clear that he lost the election, largely because the unemployment rate in America is currently too high.
"Damn Lin Chen, it's all your fault!"
Trump just finished dinner with a business tycoon and drank quite a bit of alcohol. He never imagined that one day he, Trump, would have to drink with someone. He hopes that after losing the election, the business group he represents will not suffer too much suppression.
Just then, he saw two Chinese people playing in the snow by the roadside in the distance.
