The U.S. won't win this Trade War with China ever

Why?

Because China doesn't intend to EVER play by the Trade Rules the rest of the world plays by.

They haven't the last 6000 years and they likely are not going to play by the rules of the rest of the world now either.

To expect anything else is to be as ridiculous as Trump is in starting this Trade War in the first place.

There really have ONLY been two choices for the last 6000 years:

1. Trade with China on it's own terms.
Or
2. Don't trade with China at all.

And I think Trump is beginning to move towards the 2nd outcome. If this weren't where he was going he wouldn't be pulling all U.S. businesses out of China to begin with.

So, though many U.S. businesses in China will go bankrupt through this move by Trump, Trump really doesn't care what happens to these businesses at all.

This is pretty obvious at this point.

And it is likely that any businesses that don't move out of China will be considered enemy businesses of the U.S. by Trump (the way things presently are going).

Of course with Trump (almost anything can and will happen in any given moment).

So, who knows what is actually going to happen in the end?
