Silly since China has been working hard buying up these US industries https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/whos-behind-chinese-takeov...
Try acting a little less biased NYT, China has had tariffs on US goods for years. They're not the ones retaliating.

Personally, I'm quite frustrated by Trump's fixation with the trade deficit. I wish he'd focus more on the issues with IP being stolen, bought, or semi-forced technology transfer. There are other advanced countries in the same boat as us and he has the chance to be a leader and form a coalition of ripped off economies. Instead, he focuses on the trade deficit and scares allies, existing and potential, with threats of tariffs instead of forming a united front against China's lack of respect for IP.
Oh, like some sort of partnership comprised of other Pacific based countries to create some sort of trade agreement that would make the coalition members have a stronger voice when negotiating trade agreements with China? We may even call it a Trans-Pacific Partnership[0].
