While everyone is concentrating on the on tariffs and balance of trade which are the tip of the iceberg to get China’s economy to implode, they have been missing the real end game story which is using ratcheting tariffs to force manufacturers producing in China and selling to the US which is their major market the hell out of there to other low wage nations to produce so they do not have to deal with increased production cost of incorpoarating the tariff in their product and making them less competitive.Look for these dudes to start wholesale movements of their plants to Cambodia , Thailand and India with its 1.3 billion populace China is eating the 10 percent tariff right now to keep competitive but once we get to 25% it’s Katy bar the doors as Chinese prices become less competitive and once Trump extend the tariffs to ALL of China’s imports their economy is history. Rampant unemployment will ensue and they will have fewer foreign producers in China to steal technology from.Trump smells blood in the water. The Chinese will fold to every demand but in the end I hope we unload them altogether as a trading partner.

The idea is to bring manufacturing back to the USA. Any other plan, is more traitor BS.
