What are the views on the US - China trade war?
Position3 of 8

The trade war is good for the United States

The U.S. has the upper hand; it is likely to win the trade war because it can place tariffs on more imports from China than China can place on imports from the United States. Winning will force China to stop its unfair trading practices which will make the U.S. more competitive and bring jobs back to the United States.
