Living in Hong Kong has provided you a very distorted sense of the relative "importance" of China to western economies. While Trump is an absolute clown, after all imports from China are hit with 25% tariffs in a couple of days he can easily raise these tariffs to 65% or 165% and virtually no one in America is going to care. Trump will make "Kick-China" the popular new show for a while before it's replaced with something more interesting and fresh. And the steep tariffs on Chinese import remain as everyone moves on to something more amusing. Yes, some businesses are having to hustle right now to redirect their supply lines in China to lower cost nations like Viet Nam, but then it's all over and China can demand technology transfers from Kenya and you can fly the Flaming Sukhoi 100. . In a long list of similar incidents, a major cancer research and treatment facility in Houston, MD Anderson, has fired five Chinese researchers who specialized in IP theft. With Trump's racist credentials and broad swath of racist supporters, this can quickly become a new and highly publicized nationwide sport. - sciencemag.org I understand China's economy will suffer greatly without the ongoing PLA program of global Deep Theft, but the Deep Cadres will learn in time what a horrific mistake they've made and continue to carry out - even as they congratulate themselves on their "catastrophic victory". Xi's threats to bomb Australia if they continue selling rare earth metals to the US or EU is as meaningful as a duck's fart. China's leadership needs fewer lines of cocaine as they continue to play this amusing game of "punch yourself in the face" whilst calling it Go and thinking themselves especially clever. The fun bit is this policy toward China, which began with the Obama administration, will continue into new administrations regardless of who the president is.
