US exports are 2% of China GDP. It is likely to have higher GDP growth than US this year, while the US has shortages of things it cannot quickly replace. LNG, agriculture, aeroplances are easy to replace for China. Humiliating US has more value, than figuring out what they can boost 2% of GDP on.

    The grocery store down the street must de-escalate trade war first because I buy everything from them but they have never bought anything from me, so I buy infinitely more times than they do.

      Makes no sense you haven’t set them on fire yet. So unfair.

    Humiliating trump is fine. It’s sad that tens of millions of Americans that also despise him are going to suffer. I wonder if the MAGA crowd will ever rise from their slumber ?

    China debt to GDP is pretty low. If they wanted to shift manufacturing around, to boost gdp, it could be towards weapons :(
