I am interested in how much they are going to lose since not only are they unreliable as a trading partner but they don’t have much avenue to innovation, the money will lose the world reserve currency status due to the dollar being printer endlessly to keep these corporations alive ( when the corporations will normally being making mo eye if not for trump) and honestly, who wants to live in the USA now that it’s diseased ridden and covered in Poverty. All he is truly showing everyone around the world now is that we can do without the USA and everyone can still function. It’s short term pain for China but long term + crippling blow to the USA standing as a superpower and trustworthy partner. All of this is on Trump
The issue is the likes of Pompeo / Ross / Navarro / Cotton/ Bannon etc don't see it that way. They see this as the last chance for US to regain the upper hand, restore its glory, and to protect/maintain its hegemony whilst preventing China from ever rising to the point of inflection...
It is a grand bet... that they still have enough legacy and vestigial soft-power and hard-power, sanctions sway and military mights, etc to pull this off and contain China by erasure/sanctions and getting enough "partners of choice" and "coalitions of the willing" to subsidize America's War on China in order to ensure US full spectrum dominance in the rest of the 21st century... I don't think its gonna work, but its called a grand bet for a reason and the US has gone all in and have staked their position.
Trump is merely an accelerant... whether such a sped-up catalysts is ultimately net good for net bad for the USA depends on the final outcome of this new "cold war"...
