      I agree things like TikTok and Farmland are overblown issues that wouldn’t be an issue if congress wasn’t so impotent when it comes to legislating laws that benefit actual Americans over American corporations, but this article entirely ignores China’s excessively aggressive maritime policy, be it their overfishing or their increasing militarism in the South China Sea. That’s the stuff that starts wars, not tariffs and business bans.
