And as countries like China are wont to do, trade policy, foreign policy and political ideology eventually become inseparably entwined, making it more difficult to start from scratch developing inroads as time goes by.
TLDR: The sooner the US stops with this nonsense, the better chance there will be for a reasonable outcome.

But who is going to stop Trump? He is even ignoring the directives from the SCOTUS who in their infinite insanity granted him extensive executive powers whereby even his criminal misdeeds were whitewashed as official acts. Now everything he does is an official act, just ask Stephen Miller or Steve Bannon for a better perspective.
And China besides not renewing import licenses for US beef have now instructed their domestic airline(s?) not to accept deliveries of Boeing aircraft. These are finished planes, not pending orders waiting to be built. And EU is thanking Trump profusely on behalf of Airbus. Boeing has about 4,600 planes on back order, wonder how many more will be cancelled because of increased cost due to Trump's tariffs.
Xi flexing his muscles and all Trump can do is make bogeys, not that one will see it on his score card. He has an amazing record of winning very tournament he has entered.
