…except it really doesn’t work that way. A trade war hurts both sides engaging in it, whereas everyone else benefits. China can still trade with the rest of the world which represents 95% of total population and 80% of economic size.

Also, I don’t see how getting Tibetans and Uyghurs to agitate against China would be of benefit to the US. There are plenty of divisions within US society (deepening every year) that China can exploit. I see relations with China as frenemies. Tit-for-tat is okay so long as the situation is kept under control. Any action which leads to a Cold War-like stand off is going to be destructive for both sides.
