1. Well, probably not.

They could stop sending us cheap, inferior consumer products, but I'm not sure I'd call it revenge.

3. They can easily flip to war production.

Bye, bye Taiwan.

I highly suspect that will be their next move to keep their people employed.

5. They can sell a buttload of US treasury bonds and throw the market into a tailspin. nt

9. THIS

If they are willing to take a multi-trillion dollar hit (not only losses on their T-bills, but their own economic problems will accelerate when the US economy craters from the trade war).

10. Not That

Mutually self destructive policy

China has the added concerns of a Peoples revolution. Look what happened when their economy slowed to single digit growth. The worker class revolted at layoffs

Now consider a full on negative growth depression in China.

11. depends entirely on their efforts to diversify both the source of raw materials

and the emerging new clients in Europe and the middle east.

They have already secured new sources of oil and essential minerals in Africa and the Middle East.

12. Other countries don't bend over for Free Trade like USA

Bulk of their exports

Additionally their currency is tossed into upheaval along with massive unemployment

I'm not on the GOP's side on this one. It's just something China's leadership would have to avoid in order to stay in power.

2. Trump thinks he's clever, but China don't play that.

4. Right.

6. Thank God Trump will be distracted by his pending tweetstorm over Meryl Streep

7. Good god. I feel like I am caught in a gun fight between China and Russia.

Standing right in the middle....
