Trolling by technicality. Don't know if this is on purpose.
Not really trolling, if China didn't resume processing applications none would be approved and US industry would have collapsed, Americans did receive tangible benefit from this in the form of being allowed to exist.

Trump trolled everyone by trying to sell surrender as a win, turns out surrender actually means subservience

Trump trade deadlines in July 'not critical': White House
-President Donald Trump could extend his upcoming self-imposed tariff pause deadline, the White House said.
-Trump had threatened to impose 50% tariffs on the European Union, but two days later agreed to delay that duty until July 9.
-Trump is also coming up against the expiration of a 90-day pause on his imposition of "reciprocal" U.S. tariffs on nearly all other countries.

Don't you love just-in-time logistics? Capitalists optimizing for "efficiency" rather than robustness is how the entire world got into this stupid mess in the first place.

The just-in-time planning for factory production was a wonderful advancement.

I believe it was first done in a big way in Japan, and it spread worldwide.

The world would not have grown like this, and China would not have risen this fast without just-in-time manufacturing. China Inc owes a lot to this economic/managerial concept.

The problem today, seems rather basic.

The West, to name three prominent persons, President Trump, von Der leyen, and Biden, all wanted to decouple from China on their terms and use the supply chain as weapon.

In essence, the West was going after the just-in-time manufacturing, to derail China's development.

Well, of course, that plan never had a chance, because that was totally ignorant of the facts, that China being the factory floor for the world, already owns the means of production, mostly of it, like upwards of 95%, all of that is in house. Or inputs were readily available through ASEAN, or Russia, or Germany.

The West by weaponizing the supply chain, is very detrimental to West companies, because that pushes up costs, meaning less money is made, which is slower economic growth. To get rid of just-in-time manufacturing will do that. To keep elevated levels of inventory will hurt the bottom line in the long run.

China does not have that problem. Since China manufacturing is that big, just-in-time will continue, business as usual.

Just look at the higher up management doing the hiring there-"the usual suspects"-well this will only accelerated the decline of US/and anywhere else that does this-the backlash will be ugly thoough.

Time for MAGA to step up.

All these stupid foreign wars are big distraction to what is important for America.
