Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan?

Their intent is to bring back manufacturing. I agree, it’s a bad plan.

The point with Taiwan is that both Dems & the GOP want to escalate to a potential hot war with China over control of Taiwan. But I see a lot of crossover between people who oppose drastic measures to bring back manufacturing stateside, while also supporting increased escalation with China.

So I’m asking people how they reconcile the two. How do they support war with our chief manufacturing partner, without supporting immediate measures to bring back manufacturing? As things stand, China could defeat us within a month by cutting off exports to the US.
