    What they gonna do about it? Bezos needs his cheap consumer goods and Cook needs his iPhones. If production of either is interrupted, they will fucking do a coup.

        The thing is, the intelligence community and political elites want to decouple from China but nobody else does. The biggest players of the American Bourgeoisie have extensive ties with China. Apple is worth like $2tril and Amazon is around that too. Add in another giant like Walmart and you'd have zero chance of passing legislation to decouple with China. Straight_Depth is right, if they did that there would be a coup. There is too much money at stake.

        The true reason libs hate Trump so much is that he represents a different faction of the Bourgeoisie whose interests are increasingly in conflict with the interests of the larger Bourgeoisie. Resource extraction, construction and domestic manufacturing would rather have right wing protectionism while tech and the service sector wants pure neoliberalism.
