Milton Ezrati, National Interest: Trump's Trade Wars Could Get Very Ugly
Both sides stand ready to inflict considerable pain on the other—even as they talk about talking.
President Trump has started a dangerous game with these tariffs. Rather than use more quiet means to move China from less-than-fair trade practices, he has chosen to play an all or nothing game—or what looks like one. It may yet yield positive results. But China’s leadership is no less afraid of risk than Trump. While willing to talk, it has countered the American tariffs with some of its own. Now both countries are stuck in a negotiation where failure will result in something more destructive than disappointment, for the U.S. economy, for China’s, and for the world economy generally. What is more, the destruction will occur while they talk and perhaps even if the resulting outcome is positive.

A trade war is as any war: there is casualties in both side. Still, we can win it because China has to lose more than us. More, I just read i a French left wing paper, that Europe has to be in the American side to make China bowing to the West! Eh, what a good and powerful news!
Just because you do not shoot back, does not mean that you are not at war.
We were in a trade war since the 1990s.
The voters were not afraid then.
Oh right, the a-hole media did not tell them to be afraid nor give them permission to worry.
So here is the __ __ering New York Tomes saying Trump is correct but he is late to the party.
Well, what do you except from a bunch liars. If Trump who was sworn into office 15 months ago, what does that make Obama, George Bush and Congress?
Draft Dodgers of the Trade War for the last generation?
"Trump Isn’t Wrong on China Currency Manipulation, Just Late"

Yeah, the NYT says Trump is right and then they have the 'but monkey' as Laura Ingraham would say.
Then the good ole HuffPo does the Me too thing wanting to imitate its better the NYT.
"Trump’s Obsession With Chinese Currency Manipulation Is Sooo 2014"
"It’s unclear whether that matters to voters who lost their jobs to Chinese exporters, though."
So did the writer of the HuffPo piece read the the NYT article and gussy it up in millennial peak?
"U.S.-China trade has cost 2.3 million U.S. jobs: report" - Reuters 2008
So here is proof that we have been at war for over a decade and all the Arch Extreme Leftwinger Rags can do is spin "But Trump..."

China will lose.
Who's gonna partner with this thieving and bullying nation? Russia and north Korea and Iran? Those three combined are the size of Germany's gdp which will side with the US among dozens of other nations for sure. Why? Because China steals from them too. No one likes a thief. And no one likes a thief that got rich of you for decades and then badmouths and bullies you over years at every step. China is a political and institutional infant and will learn hard lessons. The China crash is coming sooner than even I thoughT. Buckle up guys and get your money out of China now while you still can
