The USA had imposed sanctions on China since 1949. Not only China withstood the sanctions, but also made atomic bombs, satellites, and missiles. It was Nixon who visited Mao so that the USA could get out of the quagmire of the Vietnam War.
America never wins against Red China, not in the Korean War, not in the Vietnam War, not in economic sanctions. America has been trying to suppress the development of China since 1949 and never succeeded. America profited from every financial crisis after WWII， except the one in 2008. This surprised America. Why China did not crash as countries of Latino America so that America can profit from the crash of China? The conclusion: China does not “play by the rule”. The rule of the world order is that America can profit from any financial crisis every time.
Trump is destroying this world order after WWII. America as the world leader abuses its world power. China is rising. America is declining. China can not only withstand the trade war but also will emerge as the world leader in the new world order.
