Based on the below alone China should be affected more
"The U.S. imported a record $539.5 billion in goods from China in 2018. The U.S. is a net importer from China in most market segments such as consumer electronics, apparel, furniture and industrial supplies. The one major exception: agriculture.

By contrast, the U.S. shipped a much smaller $120.3 billion in goods to China last year, Census trade figures showed"

Thus US makes more on the tariff biachara


The question is what alternatives does US have to get the imported products they source from China from elsewhere where the tariffs would be lower? Where will they source these goods, i think that is why China have an edge?

What will happen is that companies manufacturing in china will start closing some factories and opening in other countries where theyre not subjected to tariffs. Basically Trump wants to muzzle and suffocate China slowly

Personally i think in the long run/long term China will still win this war hands down. Let us give it 2030 horizon.

I also hope China wins the war in the long run. For now China more inclined to wait out and see if trump wins in 2020.

Apparently, future versions of Huawei smartphones hat run on Android will also lose access to popular services including the Google Play Store and Gmail and YouTube apps.

Looks like Huawei is a major target for Trump here...

BBI will solve it

Are you saying Huawei can not come up with an OS like android? Google will lose in this.

But this is just a proxy war, main target is Iran. That's why Moscow is very quiet, waiting for the real war. US need to try and weaken Beijing economically before they venture into Tehran so that they will be confronting Moscow only. But I doubt it will work...

There is also the issue of English vs Chinese... more people in the world are learning chinese as opposed to english

I'm sure they already have an OS in place. But it makes one wonder which company is really under government control, Huawei or Google?

I think it's now a danger for any business to solely rely on Google or any American product. Even Samsung, Moto and others should worry about using a system that is controlled by the US government.
