Btw it looked very strategic move by chinazi. Is any other especially mobile one moves like this?

Would you please stop using HN for nationalistic battle and posting flamebait? You've been doing that a lot lately, and we ban accounts that do that. Fortunately your account has posted good (for HN) comments before that; please do that here, and not this.

What exactly did people expect to happen with this bizarre trade war? Instead of pressuring 'bad actor' countries with more free trade and something like TPP, levying pointless tariffs was obviously going to drive any joint international groups overseas. Just brainless stuff.

It's also domestic corruption, trading tariff waivers for corporate political support (or at least silence)

Do you consider it corruption to offer free money in exchange for votes (I.e. many of the contenders for the Democratic primary in the US)?

That attitude certainly is encouraged by the DNC and mainstream media, but the reality is that China's economy is far more vulnerable to the trade war than ours and we have put ourselves in a great position of leverage over China as a result.

What's truly brainless is thinking we can just bury our heads in the sand and ignore an ever expanding Totalitarian dictatorship bent on becoming the world's most powerful country.

I was in favor of the TPP, but I am also in favor of the trade war. We must counter China now before it grows more powerful.

Well For China it’s far from shit unfortunately. For one thing those can afford going abroad are still pretty much top 15% in big cities, definitely top 1% of entire population (ok that number is way too big). I can safely tell you dictatorship doesn’t affect those people that much. Also China has seen 800X increase in middle class over the last 20 years, it’s hard to convince us that the government is shit

Everything is ok until your organs get taken out of you while you are still alive.

I guarantee you the drug dealers and smugglers in south east Asia and South American kills more people, and there must be an international organ smuggling business years ago. And we all know officials and local government is behind it. It’s a crime anyway why bother mentioning it over and over again? Is that not a crime in China?

There is no offer of money for votes. In fact, many of the poorest areas of the country are more likely to vote Republican.

Who else is in your "many" other than the one person (polling at absurdly low numbers) offering handouts, Andrew Yang? It's not even clear whether his offer is legal.
