This is a country, after all, with such a strong narrative in its head of never again being victimised and bullied, that everything Trump is doing is only likely to make China stand its ground even more. A singular head is an odd idea in a country of 1.3 billion. A threat and zero sum option is a perfectly reasonable way to negotiate. For example "If you attempt to attack or conquer Taiwan, we will go full scale deflection mutual assured destruction accelerating faster than ludicrous mode Tesla and more powerfully than Space X Starship." Such simple negotiating gives clarity. One need only watch the fearful obedient rows of uniformed compliant submissive people to know that victimizing and bullying are popular in China. Hu Jintao being unceremoniously frogmarched outa there showed what happens to those who fail to be fully bullied and submissively compliant. Trump is correctly putting significant tariffs on Made in China. China threatens Taiwan = bullying and victimization. Taiwanese and many degrees of freedom people around the world have a narrative in their minds of not accepting bullying and victimization. Mqurice
