You (the hard left) have gone all-in with the "bully" key word. It is stupid. This is a hard-core negotiation and everyone know it at this point.

It is great that it has moved to "all-in" so quickly. There will either be stalemate or resolution pretty quickly. In any case, the US can quickly take inventory and move forward with other trading partners quickly. They'll be building TVs in Vietnam in no time. While I understand you'd prefer a softer touch, your method introduces more pain to everyone involved.

It is possible China understands what to fear at this point, definitely: They are locked into a battle they simply cannot win. They need us more than we need them, and China knows that. Once we second-source the junk we buy from China, that business is gone, or at China's best, split from now on -- it is a permanent hit for China.

The US is in an advantageous position.
