We're like 14% of China's business. They'll be fine without us.

We won't be fine without them. Not even remotely. And not just in manufacturing.

Americans don't know that there's a world outside of the US. They genuinely believe that the world will cease to function without them.

At this point you could make quite a lucrative business sitting in a 10% tariff country buying goods from China and reselling them to the US.

Even if these big, erratic disruptive moves do bring people to the negotiating table to buy more US exports (what exports?), there's no apparent calculus being done for the distrust and hostility it will engender. This is a big moment for the slow death of US soft power.

I always knew the capitalists won't let their lil cheeto doom their profits. Makes me think the end goal of this tarrifs stunt is political pandering. They really are testing the boundaries of my capacity of material analysis

You are forgeting about the big supporters of the regime likely knowing what is going to happen, and even helping decide what will be done, meaning when the "markets" are going up or down they are making bank with their insider info.
