Mentally and materially, China is much better prepared than its U.S. counterpart.

Judging from the pusillanimous reaction of some Republican senators, I can agree, at least with respect to the "mentally" part of the assertion.

China has been lying, cheating, and screwing us for years. Time to make them pay bigtime! They have NO HONOR so treat them like the thieves they are!!

Materially that is BS! China is operating at and bumped up their in-house systems by about 500%, are they really prepared to bump it up 1000%?? More importantly, American consumers are the #1 target of every world-wide manufacturer - including those in China! No matter what kind of cost savings, changes or production improvements they make, China NEEDS the American consumer more than Trump needs China!

The only thing they MIGHT be better prepared for is the "mentally" portion. China is going to have to either backtrack or they are going to try to safe face and start some international crap (North Korea firing off missiles all of a sudden seems AWFULLY coincidental); their economy is killing them internally and they cannot continue to support the multiple, empty, gargantuan cities they recently built.
