The cards say China will be hurt more by a trade war than the US will be.
But someone playing the player realizes:
- China is not afraid of US military might.
- China's leaders are proud, like Trump; but their pride is rooted in a different substrate than Trump's. IOW, they won't be kissing Trump's ring.
- China's leaders don't have to worry about being reelected.
- China's leaders will always live lavishly, regardless of their country's economic footing/outlook.
- And I guess that: China's growth rate may be slowed by an ongoing trade war, but it will nevertheless, continue to grow.
