The Chinese don't want to buy anything, except raw materials. Their idea of trade is to sell products to you, not buy anything from you.

The CCP maybe, but the Chinese people for sure want to buy products from other countries.

Eventually, you are no longer producing goods domestically and they can raise prices or deny your ability to purchase.

Did not turn out too well the last time they sold tea, silk and porcelain and accumulated the vast majority of the world silver reserves.

You don't want to buy anything? You don't need anything? The British had one thing the Chinese "needed".
