The Chinese imported about $130 billion in US goods in 2017. We imported about $505 billion of their goods. Methinks they have the most to lose, and really, the end goal isn’t a trade war. A trade war isn’t even wanted, but it may very well be needed to force the Chinese to trade more equitably with the USA. I don’t actually blame them for looking out for China. I DO blame US politicians for not looking out for the USA—until Trump.
The trade war will be entirely in the presstitute propaganda.
There will be no trade war in reality. The reality is that negotiations will continue until there is near satisfacton all around
People like to oooh and aaah about American prowess that is now in danger. The change is not the result of a decline in anything American but rather the reconstruction of nations literally destroyed physically and economically by WW II.
We had it good with no competition for 50 years or so. Reconstruction is over. Competition is now the reality.
