South China Morning Post is a Hong Kong based media, its political Take is ambiguous, there are multi-propaganda forces foot-prints out there.
All the trade tariff saga is "incurred" by the anti-China to the bone Peter Navarro and his alike, they elegantly "bundles" with President Trump's I Love America affection .
when comes to discuss the legitimacy of the trade Tariff , it is unavoidable to invite some red herring, these additives are blood pressure inflationary ingredients. This post does not try to address Do/don't, Let's think the other way around, Right now the Chinese authority had learned "the lesson" from Japan's Plaza Accord "experience", and projects any concession or comprisal will not seal further aggressive "demands" from Washington. Anyway, China survived from the 1989 massive worldwide 2 years-long sanctions which had ended quietly from the assault sides, right now, the China economy size is about 70% of US GDP, they would rather try to "combat with the Empire" see how long how far "the King can maneuver." , You have the other side bearing “who can breathe longer” mentality, it is a dead lock so to speak.
The Tariff will hurt the American middle class, should the "confrontation" be dragged progressively longer than "Trump his patience limit" or Flower street's honey the international conglomerate patience limit, , a real Trump card will pop up, and the "winner" is Who knows. The losers are the ordinary hoi-pol·loi
