Then what's all the China rhetoric about

Though to be fair I think it has died down a bit

It used to be the justification for tariffs, but yeah, it really feels like it died down. MAGA targets have shifted to Europe, and more recently, Brazil.

Venezuela is a big one, too. Oh my god, my family will not shut up about Venezuela. But that's less new.
