Have you considered that the situation we just got a 90 day pause on was untenable for China too? That they had a massive backstock of goods and were facing deflationary pressure internally? In what way does slowing Chinese progress and modernization help the socialist cause? The Americans are doing a perfectly fine job running their country into the ground, and do not need Chinas help in doing so. Chinas focus is on improving their own position not weakening the western position.
So you agree that China is more interested in maintaining business as usual than putting pressure on the US? That is what I originally said. This is why you should respond to the argument someone makes, not what you assume they are saying by imagined extension.
