President Donald Trump has furiously responded to China's decision to impose new retaliatory tariffs on American goods. In a series of tweets, Mr Trump said he was ordering US companies to look at ways to close their operations in China and make more of their products in the United States instead.
Earlier, China announced retaliatory hikes on more than $100 billion of American products. However, the president cannot compel American companies to abandon China and he gave no detail on how he might proceed with any such order. President Trump tweeted: "Our country has lost, stupidly, trillions of dollars with China over many years”. Image: News Corp Australia

The world should change the sea name to East Asia sea to recognize EEZ of Vietnam, Phillipine, Malaysia, Brunei. The name South China sea was wrong. It only increased China's ambition and aggression.
