Does this mean that tradewars can or are in effect M.A.D. Devices? ie If China backs down and the US wins then china will stay forever repressed? so therefore they have to keep battling it out until a reset happens via "True War" or the collapse of one of them? (or both)

No, while I suspect it is possible for trade actions to lead to actual war if you look at previous events the most common effect is a sort of economic restructuring not warfare. It does however leave animosity which expresses itself in other ways.
