Sputnik International — Tariffs? Meh: China Has Other Ways to Answer On Trump’s Trade War

The Chinese economy has plenty of ways to counter US President Donald Trump's import tariffs apart from simply imposing parallel measures, writes Politico's authors Adam Behsudi and Doug Palmer, that have been used in the past and proven to be very effective.
One misapprehension in the article, perhaps since the authors are American and influenced by American views of how China functions, is that the Chinese government can suggest a boycott of US imports that would be effective. The reality is that Chinese citizens are extremely patriotic and the government would not need to say anything for a boycott to arise spontaneously.  The US is already risking this.
