I think some of you guys are reading way too much into this.
Trump is having a dick measuring contest while Xi is letting him fuck himself.
We rely on China more than they rely on us. Think about how obsessed we are with low prices. Trade with China brings our average prices on goods way down. China also trades with the rest of the world, and they know they can weather a trade war with the US.
China is the next world leader unless the West can somehow right the ship. WW3 is going to be about who becomes the next Economy and de-facto world leader.
For anyone who needs to hear it: Authoritarian states do not think like people, they think like empires. If you were an empire, would you take advantage of the current climate?
Disclaimer: Both China and the US are authoritarian states, strictly speaking. But the State is not unified under Trump currently, so we’re seeing a combination of thinking like a state and thinking like a person coming from the US, depending on the source.
It’s about pulling money from the market(s) to his pockets. If the turd was in debt before, now he’s (getting) rich. He is also clearly immune to any and all crimes.
WW3 is going to be about who becomes the next Economy and de-facto world leader.
It won’t be because the next world leader won’t be stupid enough to start a war over it. The previous one might try that but it won’t help and they can’t afford to make it a world war.

It’s about that, too.
