I am aware that China at first will try to retaliate.There will be an adjustment period.The U.S can weather the storm. China has a more fragile economy than what many people think. The status quo cannot exist anymore, they manipulate their currency, they create knock products, steal technology and at the end of the day the U.S has over 500 billion dollars in trade deficit with them. They will have to trade fairly if they want to do business.
Whatever products the U.S needs to import can easily be made elsewhere like India or other Asian countries that can respect fair trade.
