Can't wait for everyone and their grandparents to be frothing at the mouth and chanting "China must pay!" In the streets while also wondering why there are so many hate crimes against Asians

      We kicked an Own Goal and we're blaming the soccer ball because it's got "Made In China" stamped on the back. Truly, 11-D chess.

      I don't think this ultimately matters. American desire to pick a fight with China won't result in us winning any more than German desires to pick a fight with the USSR resulted in them winning. We can spin up whatever crazy conspiracy theory we like. The only people who will ultimately suffer are American Chinese residents (and all the "close enough" Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Philippians, etc). Which still sucks. But it is setting us up for yet another Own Goal.
