Well I do keep saying there is no one solution.
And you are wrong.
Everybody knew the price of doing business in China all along.
Everybody knew that China would NEVER allow anything remotely close to a level playing field.
These rules were laid out for everybody decades ago.
Everybody decided to do it anyway to get into the largest emerging market on earth.
No president was so stupid as to start a trade war with China because they knew we'd lose. Even with big company executives like Musk and others screaming for something to be done, it fell on deaf ears and rightly so.
If you're not willing to pay the price for doing business in China, keep your ass at home. That was pretty much what they were told by every president.
Then comes Trump. In Trump they had a dumbass they knew they could talk into doing something about it.
That is exactly what they did.
Now they and that idiot Trump have made the situation worse.
They have absolutely nobody to blame but themselves, the lot of them
