Yeah. Sure.

the china tactic has been:

1. don’t back down and keep rising tarifs
2. Appear strong, don’t say anything to trump
3. Spread propaganda about how china doesn’t really need america’s money.
4. both sides say “actually, i REALLY need this particular thing for my military”, make excemptions.
5. work in factories grinds to a halt. I mean, that’s ok. We’ll just expunge all the dissent as usual.
6. oh shit oh fuck the chinese factories are closing down for good.
7. Stop reporting finantial numbers out of embarassment to try save face
8. Come crawling back to trump to make a deal

i mean. Come on. If this is what being strong is, i would’ve wanted them to at least put up a fight for a few months. This is about as structurally strong as my shit is after taco bell
