> China seems to have played their hand too early (and too strongly)

China got away with the Tiananmen massacre. Is this worst than Tiananmen? Sadly people have a short memory and dealing with China is profitable for Western companies. I hope not but most likely this episode will be forgotten soon.

"China" didn't get away with the massacre: the oligarchy lost any remnant of respect for the people, enforced the one child policy with forced abortions widened the gulf, the dead are still dead...

They got away in the sense the US imported $11B worth or goods from China in 1989 (the year of the massacre) and $539B in 2018.
