China will run out of items to put tariffs on.
We send China $125 billion yearly.
They send us $500 billion yearly.
Trump is talking about $50 billion in tariffs shortly, followed by another $200 billion in tariffs.
There is a math problem here for China. They can’t put $250 billion of tariffs on, because we only send them $125 billion. China can’t win this battle.
What is the end game? USA wins. China will have to significantly reduce their trade surplus and making changes to their economic policies.
The we build the biggest, most beautiful factories in the world, build the best toasters, phones, TVs, cars, etc., pay legal immigrants and Americans a good wage, they can now afford a nice car, house. etc. cities and suburbs grow. More people get jobs to deliver the goods, run the stores and restaurants nearby, etc. America wins, the ChiComs loose.
