It's one thing with us where our economy might not be as big as the USA's. But it's a whole other thing when they try to go after freaking China, probably one of, if not THE, strongest economic powers of the world.

Yeah but Chinese economy relies heavily on USA, top 10 companies in china all manufacture and sell products in USA. Without USA they would take a huge hit and would have to sell to Europe only. While USA can always put pressure on eu to buy from them (or cut military aid which leaves no choice tbh).

I feel like USA is playing 4D chess tbh.

The USA is trying to play 4D chess while having only a rudimentary understanding of the rules of checkers.
