No. China responds to weaponization of tariffs. Same as they did last time around.

It's the same as a boycott. Supplier being an ass? Screw them and go to a competitor instead. Disney learned this lesson recently. Trump still can't figure it out.

Apparently, neither can Politico, which is a disappointment.
