It appears that there is a lot more going on with the current trade war with China than the trade imbalance.
Some seriously qualified folks have spoken to the serious need for a trade/business policy adjustment with China. Some agree that it is good that Pres. Trump has initiated this process, but are highly critical of his methods. Some agree that Pres. Trump's initiative was urgently needed but sharply disagreed with Pres. Trump pulling out of the TPP.
etc. etc. The point is that these serious folks are not Trump sycophants but are highly supportive of this "trade " war as an action that is long overdue.
Have you considered this issue in other than just the "trade imbalance" aspect? Some of our industries are taking a hard hit, and that is mostly what the public sees and hears, but have you considered there are other more important aspects of this trade war that concern China's business/trade model?
It's just a thought. Maybe the public should hear more about what these serious folks consider to be the real China threat,
Do you know enough about the issue to judge if the pain is worth the gain?
For instance; what do you know about the Chinese company Huawei poised to dominate the world's 5G platform?
Here is a CNBC interview that will highlight some of the arguments we should consider. It seems the most important points really have nothing to do with a trade deficit.
