Translation... US companies are going bankrupt not being able to sell to China.
All this fake bravado bull just to cover-up this basic fact. Yes the US is hurting because their companies can't make money from China. What happened to decoupling with China? That's what decoupling means where all sides disengage and have nothing to do with one another. The irony is that was too much for the West and that's why they changed it from decoupling to de-risking. They wanted China to keep buying from them what they were willing to sell but they didn't want China making money from them. And what's happening instead is the situation is reversed where China isn't buying from them while they're still dependent on cheap products from China because any alternative would cost them more to their fragile debt-ridden economies.
What are US businesses going to do to China if China doesn't give them free reign to sell anything without restriction that the US hasn't already done? Fund mercenary operations to sabotage China? Maybe because the US government now having the backing of US business will more likely start a war with China. The only thing that prevents the US from going to war with China is the fear China will fight back and Americans will die and they can't take casualties like everyone else can. In my previous post in the this thread I mention how US famers think they just have to wait a little bit longer before China submits and starts buying their agricultural goods. Why wait? The US is suppose to have all this clandestine power in their hands. Why not unleash it now? Because they can't for the fear of a greater loss they can't sacrifice for.
