My concerns about the U.S. China Trade war started by Trump

Trump thinks always in very short terms never exceeding a year or 5 years time. The Chinese historically think in terms of 25 to 50 to 100 years in their long term planning which is one reason that they are a 6000 year old continuous civilization all that time and we are only here since around 1776 or back to 1620 or so which either way is less than 400 years or so.

So, you really cannot compare the U.S. (European Based civilization) to the Chinese Civilization at all.

Also, the other big difference is that Chinese people have never really had human rights like Europeans and people in the U.S. have grown used to either. So, they can be killed on a moments notice often in China and the poorer you are the more likely this will or can happen. So, only by being wealthy can you have rights.

But, on some levels this is also true in the U.S. and in all countries on earth.

But, people generally have more human rights in the U.S. Canada and Europe than in China.

But, here are my concerns regarding the Trade War:

The problem could become (quite easily) that China will sell nothing to the U.S. at all and then the U.S. (because of Trump) will sell absolutely nothing to China (and this could go on for 50 or 100 years or more) (quite easily). (if you have studied anything about China at all this could easily happen).

How?

This could work for both countries because both countries are so large that they only really need (at this point (their own people to sell to).

However, the poor in the U.S. would really suffer a lot and many couldn't physically financially survive this necessarily because most of the least expensive stuff they can buy comes from places like WalMart which comes almost exclusively from China which costs less than most other places.

Also, the problem with this happening would be that because they were no longer economic partners like we have been since the 1970s because of Kissinger and Nixon that it would be more likely we would have an all out war of some kind with them.

But, the Trade war going on a long time might also be that "All Out War" that everyone is worried about and could go on (knowing China) for 25, 50 or 100 years because if you study their history this wouldn't be unusual.

So, once again Trump makes life hell for the poorest here in the U.S.
