Total U.S.-China trade is roughly 760 billion dollars and includes some of the most wealthy and best connected companies in the U.S. Dollars of wealth and investments created through trade with Chinese companies (many of which are connected right to the CCP) pervade various levels of American society and the finances of who knows how many high.level politicians. The exact same thing applies to Chinese society and politicians with money gained from Chinese trade with American companies. That's how large.scale trade just works between two societies, and it's usually a good thing because it's better to trade goods and services than it is to trade bullets and missiles..
For his incoherent idiocy to be a bit more coherent, he'd have to talk about cutting off business relationships that affect and involve the majority of his colleagues in government and a great number of other powerful people.. But why think of that when some silly little media-popular cheap shot against a specific AI company can be vomited out for the public and your constituents?
