Trump could just go straight to ending all relations with China. But he won't do that because Americans will find out how little they control in the world. This way Americans can still be fooled that the US is adding more damage to China by keeping raising up the tariffs. Trump claimed China was going to collapse day one of his trade war during his first term. Continuously raising the tariff he can hide behind the illusion that he can still inflict more damage on China.
It is interesting where before there was no room to question the US system of governance. Even though still a small minority, amazing how anyone could even dare say anything was better than US democratic capitalism. The only difference between the US stereotype of China and the US is religion. Forcing Christianity is that undemocratic unelected element the West uses to keep their power and to control others. The US demands developing nations to embrace democracy and to also allow freedom of religion which really only means freedom of Christianity in all countries.
US tariffs on the world is a front to extract other things from the world. The US wants to order the world not to do trade with China. That's the only way they know how to eliminate China as their main competitor and then control China itself. The only way the US can have a chance is they basically have to have the money to buy other countries' allegiance to them. But Trumps tariff's around world is all about regaining control of the world economy meaning they don't have control over the resources to get the world to choose them.
