foreign medical tourists pay full price for medical care in China. It's just that medical care is THAT much cheaper and better that full price is affordable. Like 10k for a full course of treatment is a different concept than 500k.

Seems like this could be a new business opportunity? Low cost health tourism in China, just need that 144 hour visa thing for US. Can do the ad right there on XHS directly to Americans on there.
Obviously full price + a reasonable markup for foreigner instead of citizen price.

Not a good idea. Chinese medical cares are subsidized by the state.

The news was saying Trump was threatening to tariff China if they don't sell TikTok. Then I see the video clip and yeah Trump said it but the news made it sound more serious than it was because that was a question from the media who suggested it to Trump who said he might or might not do it. If Trump wants a trade deal with China so he can bring "a golden age to the US" it ain't going to be one-sided like he tried to do with the Phase One deal and TikTok is not as important to China than it is to the US. TikTok is just a side deal. The major deal would be Chinese electric vehicles being sold in the US. Whether they come from China with a reasonable tariff or made in the US seems to be okay. Then buying US agricultural goods is China's leverage since China has alternatives to buy from. It's going to be a giant package dealing with many things so it's laughable to believe TikTok is the balancing point. It just better be something where Biden, Raimondo, and Tai feel like they got raped in the end.

If Trump offers up EUV, workstation GPU plus other assorted things that China currently want but can't buy due to ban, so as to balance trade should China accept?

For Trump this doesn't seem like an impossibility, but on the other hand if China agrees it could hurt domestic efforts already underway.
