    At this point in time, China is just sitting back and laughing as Trump weaken the US.

    Remember, don’t correct an enemy as they are making a mistake.

      For all it’s flaws, the TPP was about to effectively zone China out of trading advantageously with the whole developed world. Now, US instability and bullying have made Japan and South Korea partner with China.

      Trump is handing China the 21st century on a silver platter.

        It’s also quite ironic that originally China’s low wages were seen as the core problem/reason how they could offer products so cheaply.
        But the way Trump is destroying things the need for low US wages will come up again…

        Alas, of course everything across the board will get more expensive with his tariffs, from vegetables, to electronics, energy and housing, so the common worker will be screwed and locked in his situation, preferably unable to go on strike.

      I feel like Russia is laughing, and China and America are both the crying wojak with the smirk mask.
