Trump administration pushing to rip global supply chains from China: officials
There is a Chinese saying, 养虎为患 which basically means raising a tiger brings disaster.
Almost 50 years ago, in the midst of the Cold War, the U.S. sought to engage China against the Soviet Union. This led to various things happening in the 1970s and 1980s, including the recognition of the PRC over Taiwan at the United Nations, the opening up of trade relations, accepting students from China into the U.S., and many other things which have improved China's political and economic standing over the years.
The U.S. thought it was raising a puppy into an obedient dog. But over the years, that cute, obedient puppy has grown into a wolf. And now, trying to beat the wolf into obedience may be too late. And starving a wolf is not the best way to get it to obey orders; it only makes the wolf more vicious. I hope the U.S. finds a way to live with the wolf. If not, when it runs out of meat, it may end up being wolf food.
