The Chinese economy is used to very high growth rates that would make other countries blush. But I think they’ve peaked - not due to Trumpism, but simply because they don’t have the population growth they used to, and immigration isn’t that attractive there.
They said they would respond, and issued a bold statement. I didn’t see Xi Jinping on TV panicking hours after. They play the long game. They know this is over in 3 years 11 months. It’s not an earth shattering event for them because they are focused on 2125, not 2025.

Okay so you think Canada should play the long game and plan for 2105? Is that your argument? Personally I don’t think we would last that long in an economic war against the USA.
You know, sometimes emotional responses to things are warranted. Or do you not agree with this premise either?
I feel like whatever you’re arguing, which isn’t super clear what it is, is not being done so in good faith if you can’t think about some differences between Canada and China’s respective positions.
