<< US-China Trade Relations & Tussle: Which phase are we at now? >>:
Based on the above chart, what do you think? I will leave the imagination to the reader's mind. With reference to the current trade tussle between US and China and the above chart, Mahatma Gandhi's quote immediate comes to mind, going by the trend analysis:
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Footnote:
1. When you are agricultural and high population, people ignore you.

3. When you are industrial and manufacturing and high population, people laugh at your made in china goods
5. When you are now 5G, High Tech, Innovative, Creative, Artificial Intelligence and going at the front edge with the back of a high population, people want to fight you.

Alas, you already broke the threshold resistance required for unstoppable momentum.
(High population plus Agricultural, Industrial, Manufacturing, 5G, High Tech, Innovative, Creativity, Artificial Intelligence -- everything you have it now).
