I have thought something similar from the very beginning of this. China was angry at Trump's strong stance in the trade negotiations. They have completely shut down our economy and it only took a couple of weeks for that to happen. They are smiling.
“They are smiling.”
When our economy shuts down, so does theirs. I’d like to see the sole focus of Trump’s next 4 years as “bringing it all back home”. This event has shown how dependent we are on a country whose ideals and morals we are totally incompatible with. Let China be the first country we do this with, then move on to the countries in the Middle East.
The return volley in the war, however, is/will be the realization the US can no longer be dependent on China for pharmaceuticals and other healthcare supply chain components and move these industries back to the US. Sometimes the war is fought over decades, but victory is visible.
China is smiling? Our market is over 25% of all they produce and companies are moving OUT of China to places better suited to them.
How does this benefit China?
