The US is not looking to ease its stringent trade policies anytime soon.
It would have been so easy for the dems to remove the tarriffs on Chinese goods and be like “Hey America, things are 25%+ cheaper, and you can get an electric car for 10K” and the sanctions on Cuba and go “Look at these cheap, quality cigars, rum, and beaches”, instead of expanding on Trump’s policy from 2016.
Cheap Chinese electronics come with a ton of caveats. There are reasons why you can get $150 dollar drills for $23.
Chinese manufacturers build to specification. Most of those brand names are manufactured in China. If you don’t want the absolute cheapest shit, don’t buy the absolute cheapest shit.
I just love all the morons complaining their $25 drill didn’t come with a $50 battery
Trump isn’t even in office yet and we’re ramping up the trade war.
If by ‘we’ you mean the oligarchy and ‘trade war’ means second cold war, then yea.

Maybe this will drive Risc-V?
I find the tariffs ineffective against China. The US is shooting off its own foot.
