Time to act like China and not bend to him.

China's strategy worked great, just counter any announced tarrif with an equal reciprocal tarrif and he'll back off eventually. I wonder if we have more or less to loose than China had.

Even if we lose more, we can't back down from a bully. We need to stand strong and roll with the punches

Totally, don't want our governments to be pushed over. Just saying I have no clue how we compare to China in this.
