Meanwhile, Chinese economy is already adjusting to the tariffs by redirecting trade domestically https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-04-28/trade-war-china-s-e-commerce-giants-are-putting-up-a-fight
So, let's say they figure this out, US takes the L and drops their tariffs, what Chinese company is going to want to be reliant on trade with US going forward?
I don't think they are reliant on US trade anyway.
Of course they would rather trade than not trade, and losing the market would hurt, but only about 15% of China's exports go to the US.
And it's only 2% if the overall economy to boot.
