    I was curious so I briefly looked it up, if I remember right, China only imports like 7 percent of its total imports from the USA. It was comparable to South Korea. They can weather this storm far better than the US.

      The main thing that’s gonna sting for your average Chinese citizen is increased food costs, sonce the US supplies China with a lot of soy and wheat. But they have also been taking steps for this exact situation since this all played out at a smaller scale 7 years ago.

        China will just increase trade with Brazil if materially feasible for them. Brazilian agriculture, especially Soy and Corn are already fucking huge for Chinese animal husbandry. I don’t think even another Bolsonaro could prevent an increase in this trade with the Brazilian agricultural lobby being as influential as it is.
