No one wants a “trade war” with China, or for that matter with any nation. Nonetheless, China has been waging one for years and is now locked in a tariff recalibration with the Trump administration.
In this American effort to find trade parity and equity, China can do some short-term damage to the U.S., especially in terms of ceasing exports of some pharmaceuticals, phones, and computers. But ultimately, it cannot win—and will eventually lose catastrophically. It will likely accept that reality sooner rather than later.

I love Ernest Hemingway quotes.
I am (again) impressed. Bravo.
From the Sun Also Rises about bankruptcy.
I would enjoy seeing China in pain gradually and then suddenly.
When Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane bought an authentic antique torture rack, the Crosby, Stills and Nash singer David Crosby, a close friend of hers, begged her to let him get strapped onto it.
He giggled during the first turns, then laughed, but suddenly with the next turn he went red faced and screamed uncontrollably.
Good idea for the Chicoms. The biggest mass killers.
Yeah, China’s already having liquidity problems
I did my master’s thesis on that book
I am a huge fan of Victor Davis Hanson. He has the best insight into most of the issues that MSM media pundits blather about. I try to watch and read just about everything that he releases nearly every day. As far as I am concerned, he has now replaced Rush as the voice of the right.
Brilliant Analysis... VDH at his best
My favorite. I also like Big Two Hearted River a lot for its fishing descriptions.
Good literature. Hanging by a thread in the woke era of academia.
True story in a library magazine a few years ago.
A public library was having a outdoor lawn sale of books to raise money.
A man came up to the volunteer at the payment table and said: “I want you to know this book was accidentally put out there for $1 but this is a genuine Ernest Hemingway first edition.”
She looked bored.
“Who is Ernest Hemingway?”
I’m still in love with Lady Brett Ashley.
Hemingway bump !
I surmise that due to the hubris of Xi and the CCP that the Chinese people will need to suffer greatly before they will ever capitulate to their own reality delivered to them by President Trump and the USA. Extreme retaliation is on Xi’s table.
*bump*
I remember about thirty-some-odd years ago I was hitting on a young lady and the discussion turned to literature. I mentioned Ernest and her knee-jerk response was that he was a “misogynist.” I doubt she ever read a word he wrote in her life, but her Lefty “perfessers” told her he was a “misogynist.” The conversation did not last much longer.
China has one enormous advantage: the huge fifth column within the USA that seeks America's destruction, viz. the Democrat Party/woke Left and treasonous RINOs.
You dodged a bullet
