    Washington may intensify its campaign to prevent Beijing catching up in military capabilities.

    More like “delay”, or maybe even speed up China’s becoming self-sufficient, seeing what the sanctions have been doing so far lol

    Hahahaha she was ineffective when she ran RI and she’s ineffective now. There’s no trade war that’s going to fix this, the only thing we can do as a country is invest in science and lower the barriers of entry into the STEM fields. This is a generational problem. None of this can be fixed within the next term let alone the next decade. We’ve made it far too easy to incentivize US businesses building their infrastructure upon cheap labor markets because we refuse to support local labor and innovation.

      American workers complain too much about their rights and pay to compete with China at the capitalist game.

      But no worries. American corporations are working on that. /s

    That’s code for “We will destroy everything we touch if it means spiting our enemies even a little bit”
