The damage is done. China have been the whipping boy to the US for decades and anyone who deals with America and China at work could see the tone shift coming from years away.
These tariffs are just the excuse china has been waiting for to flip the table.
I'm genuinely concerned, where do you people get the idea that China was somehow, someway, subservient to the US? We tried the open economic policies to get China into the US sphere and that backfired so hilariously hard that China's entire gambit since Clinton has been latching itself as an economic limpet on the rest of world thanks to it's billion man slave labor force. A force that's
already been undercutting and destroying American manufacturing before tiktok, and probably before you were born. Your theoretical has been happening for a
half century at this point.
Chinese spies for it's state economy and military are everywhere, secret police operate and kidnap US citizens on our soil, and countless other agents have operated openly in the US for decades as well and we've done nothing about their bullshit because of the stranglehold they have on us. China continuously commits imperialist (lol mandate of heaven) expansions, continuously has border spats with literally everyone around them, has made every ethnic group that usually hate each other come together to hate the Han even more, actively commits crimes against humanity and don't even bother to cover them up, slaughters people for the funsies, feeds it's people plastic despite being supposedly one of the richest and most agriculturally secure counties on earth, fucking COVID, ect. All of this and so much more, and we """allow""" it simply because they fucking
own all the linegoup financially corrupt retard theater kids and psychopaths that make up the world's power and media elite.
Get back to reality please. The Xi Empire it a fucking horror comedy show that espouses the true doctrine of Communism: Parasitism and the commodifying of human life. The only control we have over them is the ability to, finally like a rape victim getting the gun out, say no.
Feed me the three gorges dam.
