INSIGHT

China's Vulnerability

China's vulnerability in trade wars stems from its dependence on mercantilism and American magnanimity.
Trump has additional leverage over China, such as restricting student visas and land purchases.

ANECDOTE

This illustrates the disconnect between the elite's focus on the stock market and the working class's concerns.
