It is fully in its capacity to make Washington to capitulate.
If they were to go with embargoes and not tariffs, things would be dramatically different, especially if they can nuke holiday season sales.
Just a plain clothing embargo would send all and every American retailer scrambling. There will be not enough merchandise in all India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam combined. And it will be even worse if Chinese factories in those countries would also join the embargo.
For things like regular household goods will also be no real alternatives as even export oriented economies like Vietnam import god knows how much plasticware from China just because it is often cheaper than manufacturing locally.
Just thing of how many "dollar goods" you buy every month, and what would you do if there would simply be none.
