I still think CCP need to be calm and rationale and take its own pace before rushing into emotional decisions and falling into Trump/ Putin’s trap. CCP should be patient and apply tariff after US's tariff become effective, not before that. And if CCP leads the trade war, CCP will be singled out and targeted by US alone, instead of having the US to fight the trade war with the whole world. Which one is better, I believe CCP knows. And CCP should be able to talk to Trump before rushing into decisions. That's just how Americans operate, because they like to talk and discuss. Anything is fluent. Unlike Asians, which are more rigid and less talkative. Both styles have their pros and cons.
And Russia was not tariffed nor affected by climate change, that tells you who is really in control, which is Putin. When Trump and CCP fight each other out, not Trump/ Putin vs the whole world, Putin will be the one reaping all the benefit. Just so you know.
CCP needs to isolate Putin and his gestapos, and stands firm not to get involved in helping Putin for his Ukraine war.
And CCP needs to continue sell as many of its products to US as possible in order to inflate the US domestic price and put pressure on Trump admin and US’s mid-term and presidential election. Trump's tariff could make US manufacture going back to US. BUT Trump’s tariff will also make US manufacture unable to sell outside of US market because of the reciprocal tariff put on US exports by other countries. So yes, US manufacture would eventually go back by Trump’s tariff but they cannot make money because they can not access market outside of US. And it takes long time (tens of years) for US manufacture to go back, which is much longer than US’s political cycle (2-4 years). So by the time Trump needs to be reelected, none of his tariff has really worked, but only to inflate more of US domestic goods' prices and that’s one of the reasons Biden lost (inflation/ economy).
