He talked as a megalomaniac, other leaders are now putting him in his deserved place, now he will start learning baby lessons of international diplomacy, by the time he is learnt will have to suffer for his foolhardiness.
Not cajoling. He's teasing/mocking them

The upside for Trump here is if he can mediate in some way.
China tells Trump: If you want trade talks, cancel tariffs
www.bbc.com
Unfortunate reality is that India generally never had any allies. Only Russia did stand by us on world stage when push came to shove.
And why will he cancel them without China offering anything?China tells Trump: If you want trade talks, cancel tariffs
Really, don't think CN is playing ?China tells Trump: If you want trade talks, cancel tariffs
China denies any trade talks with the US as it calls for sweeping tariffs to be cancelled.
China simply told him to shutup with his tantrums, cancel tariffs if he want to talk.
We could be in for a long wait then.
Yep, this I agree with. If americans are willing to get hurt, China will get hurt more in short to medium term, in long term a manufacturing powerhouse like CN will get tons of requests from all over the world, which may be detrimental to USA.
That's enough to get them to yield
Long term the US has decoupled entirely from China and got alternative supply chains in place. If we are nimble we can be a part of it. Apple has already bet big on India.
Not if China caves as expected
It's all Chinese manufacturing prowess behind this. Tata with Foxcomm. Acting as if this is Indian pure indigenous manufacturing power is not honest. Where as China can do this by themselves.
China will not sit idle during that time.
It's China buying time. Just as this extremist event happened, there were news about them moving in and establishing airbases very close the our lines of concern in the mountains.
Then Apple would not have been able to move out
Is Taiwanese
Nobody has said that. But working with Foxconn will help us build capabilities over time. Once upon a time Chinese also didn't know how to make phones. Taiwanese taught them because they felt kinship only to be threatened after.
How will they replace their biggest customer.
I think Trump has thought this through for a long time and found the right people who can enable him to do so.
Well, thats the point.
Now, China have to admit it.
All HK and Taiwan are people who left China during their volatile era.
The entire world is open, if freemarket capitalism is allowed (not just preached). For eg.:
Trump's ways does not seems to be inventive enough, from as far as what we are seeing.
I don't think so. China has lost Apple
?
Taiwan was never part of the PRC
Except China broke that system
I'm not seeing any give from his side. As I said earlier 15 of the World's top economies are talking to him. If more agreements are made, China will be isolated.
Foxconn: While headquartered in Taiwan, the company earns the majority of its revenue from assets in China and is one of the largest employers worldwide.
That is just a statement, devoid of historical realities and how thing may take forward in future.
The US trade deficit with India stands at $45.7bn in 2024, in New Delhi's favour. That is small compared with the US trade deficit with China – $295bn last year.
Proxies of China, difficult to isolate them for USA.
Still Taiwanese
ROC isn't interested in being a part of the PRC and the PRC cannot militarily take ROC.
I'm talking about China's unfair practices that make it impossible to sell there. They preach fair trade but don't keep to their end.
On the contrary very easy to squeeze. They have a huge deficit with China and use the surplus from the US to cover that deficit. If the US tariffs hold they won't sell much Chinese made stuff and will have to cut down from China. Simple. Lei already explained this.
For now. Military threatening exercises encircling the island every now and then are to send a message.
Well, can't sell much to world's most ruthlessly efficient manufacturing and logistic network. Don't know how we can blame them for that.
Just like how India lacks a credible opposition, USA and world lacks a credible trade backup to load-balance against China. India is the only option, but we have to perform 10x better for years to reach there. Let's see how it goes.
