Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Just saw another reporting on MSNBC's YouTube that according to Trump internal sources "they expected China to be one of the first to come begging, given the size of their exports to the US".
1. Anyone who knows China, as a millenia-old civilization, knows they are too proud to grovel and give in to bullying. Regardless of them being right or wrong. They know suffering, they have ancient history.
2. There it is. The obvious statement some seem to miss. This is what Trump wants. He wants others to grovel at his feet, simple. Refuse to grovel, show some backbone and tell him to take a hike, and he'll quickly backtrack in cowardice. As he did with China, with the tariffs, and everything else.
And the funniest part? They don't even have an actual goalpost set, as they just demonstrated with Japan when they visited the US to make a deal. They want to trick those afraid into overcomprimising themselves as much as they can out of despair. "How much are you willing to give us for our blessing?".
Bullies only attack when they think they might succeed. Show them you're not afraid, and they shrink into their shells. Acknowledge their fake power, and they'll only get worse with time. We might hurt in the short term, but he's gonna endure the consequences of his stupidity in the long run.
Stand strong. Stand united. Don't give in. And this mainly to Europe, Canada, Mexico, and all of the British Commonwealth.
If all countries respond like this, it would shut him up quicker! 💪

Why is it when I read one of these news articles China always appears to negotiate from a position of strength while Trump sounds like a bumbling idiot?
Because you have critical thinking skills
What? Do i need to see a doctor for this condition?
Because that is exactly what it is.
I have no respect or empathy for Trump but this sort of elder abuse still makes me sad. Hundreds of millions of people end up facing the consequences of that stupid old man getting mopped and run circles around in these debates.
It do be like that
Because Trump is a bumbling idiot and Xi has a "no limits partnership" with his boss Vlad.
Looks like you don't need new glasses.
Sometimes reality shows thru
Ah, Trump the master negotiator strikes again.
Sodomized. What a disgraceful end for the USA.
Let's not slander sodomy.
US responds, "What was that? I wasn't listening."
That's how it should go, yes.
