The damage to industries will not be permanent. They will sell to other people. The regime fears its people, not “losing industries.”
And my point is directly relevant. The Chinese people will be far more willing to suffer than Americans. They will rally around their government, and will not give in Trump.
I bet some deal will be made that Trump will convince his idiots is great, but will be essentially the status quo ante. And he will declare victory. And you’ll believe him.
