Their markets, currency devaluation,flight of international investment, etc have been hammered compared to the US. All that was expected, just not to this degree.

This is something totally new... It was supposed to be Trump that's vulnerable. He's has midterms, reelection in 2+ years while Xi has total control. Now we are seeing this...

When you are on the short end of the trading stick of course you will come out ahead in a war. The question is at what cost?

We’ve been getting screwed for decades, it’s worth it to stop it even if it’s a little painful

It is going to be more than a little painful. He better hope it doesn't trigger the market crash.

Your posts in this thread just remind me of when I used to listen to Mark Levin On the radio, he was always screaming and in a crabby mood. I was always very nervous about his blood pressure

I can probably posts 100s if not 1000s of articles from experts that the US will lose. I don't remember seeing many articles that China will see a crash and the US will be slightly hurt...

Lose how? At the end the trade deficit with China will be less. The question remains at what cost?

I just to clarify that this isn't over. And by the way things look China WILL do things that will hurt us ( AAPL ) etc , but I don't think many believed that this would be the situation at this point

a crash (correction) is coming. It's just a matter of how soon and how bad. Many factors will lead to this and hard to tell which ones will be most impactful.

Agree but Trump is going to get the blame. He wants all the credit now.
