I don't understand how you aren't terrified by his failure to understand the basic concept of who actually pays the tariffs.
>China has been ripping off our tech for YEARS......perhaps we ought to look more carefully at the TOTAL COST of having China make these things
China is 18 months ahead on 5G, machine learning and much else - it's now surpassing not ripping off. These days it doesn't need your innovation or inward investment so it's a little late to get upset.
US tariffs might reduce China's growth to 4 or 5% for a couple of years, inconvenient certainly, but Trump will be gone in 20 months, while Xi is planning his next 20 years.
