US using the tariff as a leverage against China is like a person promising to cut his own arm as a threat to another person. My grandma told me that back in the old days there were such people (无赖) trying to extort money.

Man, Poland's economy is doing so good it looks like Neverland. What an awesome country Poland is eh. They're run by magical beings with magical thoughts thinking that the country will come out relatively unscathed from the scourge of inflationary hikes from the war in Ukraine. But yet we have a persistent person from that country who keeps blabbering about China's zero-covid19 policy making doom and gloom predictions when the very country that person is from is literally going through a world of economic pain. Talk about priorities.
The current inflation is the result mostly of the utter incompetent government which has been in power for now like 7 years. The sanctions and global supply chain issues from lockdowns and covid, I guess are half of the official inflation. The inflation in prior years was growing faster and faster, one of the reasons was the huge growth of minimum wage from 400 euro to 600 euro in few years, and free money for children 120 euro per child per month.
That's official cpi, we all know that's fake all over the world, the real is bigger.
Sanctions don't need to be responded to with sanctions. They can be responded to with other legal tools like strict regulatory enforcement or making it illegal to comply with unilateral foreign imposed sanctions.
As other posters said, this is an own goal.
China is a podiatrist, the USA patient is angry, cuts their own foot off and throws it at the podiatrist and says "I DON'T NEED YOUR SERVICES ANYMORE HA! HA! HA!"
How do you respond to that?
Dahua and Hikvision are something like 80% of the market. (This report has Hikvision at 38% by itself, I believe Dahua is quite close behind). You can't replace this void magically by just going to the third place supplier, they simply do not have the capacity.
So the only solution is to close down all the companies that Hikvision are supplying and just forget about video surveillance. You don't NEED it after all, it's not food or water.
So ultimately no visit right?
Seems she's more busy handling the Supreme Court leak.
The US wouldn't mind that.Nothing gives them satisfaction than seeing another Chinese tech company destroyed.
They don't have a player in the game and they know the 3rd players won't be US firms but Korean and Taiwanese companies ; which they don't mind
This can be part of a deadhand system... fully autonomous AI subdrone powered by nuclear that can wait for years or decades if necessary in order to take final revenge etc...
What do you mean essentially equal to using nukes? It's just another way of delivering a nuclear warhead, except much bigger. It can be loaded with a 100 MT warhead. That's double the size of Tsara Bomba. Throughout the cold war there was no way to deploy warheads that size, now there is.
I always thought the point of them was to go into coastal cities.
