Yes, ish for brains, the declines were from all time highs in 2018. That’s precisely the point — that’s when the tariffs were imposed. Good economy = high consumption. Tariffs on China = lower trade with China. Hence the shrinking trade deficit after the tariffs. The fact that you think you refuted me is hilarious.

There is a limit to the lengths they will go that damages their economy, but China has a population more than willing to suffer for their government, and pay a privilege for doing so. It's pure hubris to believe that America has more tolerance for pain than China. If you go into negotiations thinking that your leverage is they need us more than we need them, you've already lost. If the Chinese could tolerate pain to the extent you believe the nationalists would still be in power. On 11/25/2020 at 9:17 AM, TEW said: China's #1 concern is social stability because they fear a revolution. This idea that the Chinese population will just suffer in silence is completely detached from reality. And yes, China needs us FAR more than we need them. Global manufacturing and supply chains can move. It’s already started, in actuality. But Dollar access must come from the US, and without the dollar, China can’t pay off debts, can’t prop up its currency, and can’t buy commodities like oil. Pretty much this.
