For them being this sort of neo - communist nation they rely on cheap labor, without it, they would probably just fall apart. Giving the working class a livable wage is the idea of what communism is supposed to achieve, yet the standard of living in China is rather low. China needs to be a dominant force in order to sustain their unsustainable economy. They will fight to the bitter end. But at the end of the day cheap labor will always be found somewhere else.
You are also ignoring the fact that a 'war' is meant to have a winner and loser. The US saw China as a threat and initiated a tariff war to come out on top.

In response to Trump's most recent indulgence in economic fascism-
The only way back is to do three things immediately (something neither the Democrats of GOP will ever do now because they are ALL bought and paid for by the elite wealthy) amongst other thing of course:
First: Get the trade policy back to the protectionism is was( protecting US jobs) in past years
This deal, TPP, is one of the final nails in the coffin of the buried middle class Americans. Also, one of the cornerstones of the austerity the oligarchs are imposing on the Western world.
Ross Perot isn’t a socialist and he was against NAFTA for the simple reason it took jobs from this country
These trade agreements are Trojan horses for the greedy corporations.
It’s very simple...they can export American middle class jobs to slave wage countries with impunity
Also while there in those slave wage countries then can sue those countries, for example, when the countries try to stop them from selling cigarettes, something they CAN’T DO OVER HERE
They will also pollute these countries air freely
That and more, all things favorable to the globalist corporations are in this TPP and ALL THOSE OTHER DECEPTIVE TRADE AGREEMENT SCAMS…
America is evolving steadily to a Burger King, Wall Mart economy!
There's nothing to stop it

Seriously, the bad thing is that our exports are also getting slammed by the fact that Trump left the TPP.

China has a lot of options to make things uncomfortable for many US companies. They're manufacturing many crucial high tech components without which there simply will be no more Apple.
Despite of what his fanclub says the hammer isn't the right tool for turning screws. But unfortunately the only one he can handle.

I searched the term economy fascism and I think you didn't know the meaning before you made this thread, but it sounds fancy and trendy.
It's a code term used by Democrats 😎

I was looking for the specific one about how Trump has abandoned the middle class by not raising tariffs to protect jobs and killing the TPP and NAFTA, but I haven't found.it, and I'm tired of combing through search results. I think we can all see the picture painted though...

Yup, keep pushing that I am a dumbass and that I want China to win, when I haven't mentioned anything in that regard. Even tho I just clearly showed that American company's can easily just go somewhere else while China burns, like I care about China, honestly I do think they need to be put in their place, but I also don't agree with what the US is doing.
You want to watch other nations economies just crumble? Because that's what it seems like you want. That's the goal of a war, to win.
