Oh please

stop clutching your pearls
The British Empire was most powerful from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, a period sometimes called the "British Century," peaking in geographical size around 1920. This era was characterized by the empire's vast naval dominance, extensive territorial control—covering about a quarter of the world's land area and population—and immense economic and industrial strength, which allowed Britain to maintain global influence.

Dominant Global Power: From the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 until the beginning of World War I, Britain enjoyed a period of unmatched global power known as Pax Britannica.
Naval Supremacy: The British Royal Navy was the largest and most powerful in the world, which secured trade routes and enabled conquests that expanded the empire.
Peak Territorial Extent: The empire reached its largest territorial size around 1920, ruling over roughly 24% of the world's land area and 23% of its population in 1913.
Economic and Industrial Strength: The Industrial Revolution gave Britain a commanding lead in industrial output in the mid-19th century, which was further extended by the economic advantages it held over other powers after the defeat of Napoleon.
Widespread Influence: The empire's peak was defined by its vast reach, earning it the nickname "the empire on which the sun never sets"

Five decades ago I was a free trade fan club member. A couple of decades ago I decided taxes are better raised at the border along with tradable citizenship control systems. So Trump has done what I want. China can be dog in manager and refuse to sell. Bad idea as they earn no money by keeping dirt in the ground. They'll have less money to buy oil and stuff. USA will go into the rare earths business or others will do so. Evil doer megalomaniacs in Beijing wanting to conquer Taiwan are not exponents of VVV. But they're in good company and more virtuous than most. It's false that England was a conquering extractive resource hunter. They built railroads, cities, introduced a great legal system and free enterprise to Hong Kong making it best place in world. Wondrous benefits galore to the benighted masses around the world. China should just go on selling minerals for what the market will bear. Ignore Trump tariffs. Trump taxing USA citizens is up to them. I'd reduce both taxes and tariffs to zero. Sell spectrum, roads, tradable citizenship, water, sewerage, and other publicly owned assets at what the market will bear which would provide enough revenue to maintain systems and civilisation. Make crime pay. Crime should be profitable, not a cost. Mqurice
