Read: political optics. He will be attacked as "soft on China" but he has no other choice. Trade war with China is unwinnable.
He remove the tariffs, but then try and get congress to pass some kind of anti-China bill (more Xinjiang, or like sanctions against companies, such as Hikivision I think it was).

Can he realistically do anything? Almost all the bills he tries to get through Congress that were the selling points of his election campaign has been blocked by Republicans in congress and even members of his own party don't toe the line. Removing tariffs will probably have the Republicans doing everything to stop or delay their removal while at the same time using the "soft on China" image he portrays with this move to further shore up their support base for the mid-terms and sink the Democrats. Yet this wouldn't solve the core issues driving inflation. I think he is retarded for pulling this.

Zero covid works for the alpha and delta variant. But it doesn't work nearly as well against omicron, BA.2, and further variants. You could test negative in the morning, and be positive in afternoon; it is that much more transmissible. You can't lock down entire cities, shut down schools, factories, every time a tiny group of people test positive. China is expected to abandon Zero Covid stance after the Party Congress in the Fall (a political decision at this point), with gradual movement away from these protocols in 2023.
Again, worry about your countries economic, social, and political situation than of China's. I mean, WTF dude, why do you still maintain this arrogant opinion that your line of thinking is better or best in tackling the covid-19 situation in China? Where exactly are you basing your hight fatutin opinion from? None of your western countries can boast any economic growth post-covid 19 and clearly due to the awesomeness of you and your countries leaders foresight in sanctioning Russia inflation is also a problem, something that's not the case in Red China.

So again, based on the data and real evidence at hand, why should I us a Chinese person and for that matter China copy your shitty system that thus far failed to produce and provide real world results worth emulating?

Your countries society, culture, population expectations, and political leaders decision calculus are different from China and that's fine. You don't see or hear much from any Chinese nationalists or not chastising your countries and peoples blasé attitude to this virus now do you? It's not China's concern because it's not their business and besides you folks chose the government you have and are content with it. But on the other hand you folks can't seem to shut the f...k up about this zero covid-19 policy.
