Trump harbors legitimate grievance towards the Chinese government.
He tried to register his "Trump" patent in China in vain. Merely weeks before he did so, it was registered by a local Chinese company. And Trump has filed many lawsuits in China afterward to get his patent back, every time he lost in the Chinese court. And it has been dragging on for many years.
However, after Trump was elected, the Chinese court has since quietly and swiftly reversed the verdict and Trump gets his patent back in China.
You don't deal with China/Chinese very much in your business I gather...
We will be paying for this indirectly for YEARS. To us it's just a phone call. To China it is pointing out what they perceive as an internal issue and meddling where we have no business being, all on an international stage.
Just watch. Over the next several months, not immediately, you'll start hearing how GM or Ford are having supply issues, or that their sales are lagging in China, or they don't get access to a market where suddenly VW or Mercedes is.
Prices for your plastic crap will creep down slowly, putting pressure on Rubbermaid and the remaining domestic suppliers as Walmart just keeps on rollin' back prices on those day to day things.
That multi billion dollar Boeing order is suddenly going to have problems, and they're going to have to reexamine the purchase and look at Airbus...
If this situation wasn't so serious, it would be down right funny.
Unless you see bombs dropping around us.... I wouldn't worry too much about this.
Can China destroy the U.S.?
No. China would not be able to destroy the US in a war. China is currently surrounded by US military force. It would be extremely difficult for either side to defeat each other, let alone destroy each other.
Mathematically. the US has 4,500 nuclear warheads and China has 260. That means the US has roughly 17 times more nuclear weaponry power than China. In terms of air craft carriers, the US has 10 and both China and Russia have one each. Which takes us to the question of "do we really want to get into a war in the first place? for both China and the US. The answer is a very solid "no."

China respects clout.
China has a Trump toilet product. But it was registered in 2006. At that time nobody in China knew about Trump.

There's more ways to win a war than with bullets. Take a look at the Soviet Union v. USA. We crushed them with our economic power. The footing isn't as even with China.
Putin must be laughing his ass off about how he got this clown elected.
keep smoking your funny stuff...
