what if we tried improving america instead

Also, working together instead of open antagonism. Imagine the good the US and China could do together. It’d also be a metric shit ton of suffering, but they’re already cozy in those beds. Might as well build each other up.

How many American companies rely on China for their products? We should be building those relationships stronger. Not putting them in tension.

Both of the countries would need some kind of a revolution before they'd shift towards cooperation with anyone

Too questionable to know for sure

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.

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

Have you tried making things people want to buy instead of banning things people want to buy if they're from China?

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
