Mercantilism works until it doesn't.

China (Xi) is in real trouble it seems. This tariff battle will be interesting. It will be very disruptive for awhile.
They will back down if Trump refuses. China needs USA BUSINESS. we need tiny things from them like parts for toilet repair or appliance repair. TROUBLE IS THERE GOODS ARE INCONSISTENT AND MADE TO BREAK DOWN . example the toilet bowl float I had three different sizes for the exact same item for my toilet. You could order parts for a washing machine with one item number and get three different sizes. Their clothing is cut very small. For instance TEMU sells stuff in American women sizes that wouldn’t fit a 12 year old.skinny girl !
