It already happened under Biden and all US allies' economies are on the brink. The big guy, the US, is now feeling the pain of just their own tariff on all the cheap stuff they get from China. At least Europe knows they still need inexpensive stuff from China and that's why they're still trying to engage with China. They still need China to buy all the stuff from them that China can get anywhere else. That's the dilemma they put themselves in. The significant trade they use to have was advanced technology that China didn't have but because of the US, under Biden, they can't sell it to China but they somehow think China is suppose to make up the difference they lost in trade by expecting China to buy more stuff that China can get cheaper from anywhere else. They f*cked themselves over.
In regards to Asia, lets be truthful and say Asians put more value into money more than other things except maybe their image. That's why they'll end up finding a way to make money from things they're expected not to. Look at how Taiwan was selling chips through fronts to China. The Vietnamese supposedly hate the Chinese but they still want to make money from them. Why would Japan demand China buy and eat their radioactive fish? The Japanese with their cultural image of cleanliness don't understand why? Asians aren't going to stop making money from China no matter what the US tells them.
On top of everything else, the US isn't opening it's market to anyone even their own allies. Biden didn't do it. And Trump built his entire narrative on how the world even allies are ripping off the US. If the US had unlimited money as they like to tell the world, they wouldn't have worry about trade imbalances with the rest of the world... but Trump is. The US will have to pay way more than they can imagine to buy off the world not to trade with China. The US would have to pay tens of billions of dollars to each country to get them not to trade with China and the current narrative says they won't. So where are the US's allies going to have to make money from?
