I was waiting for something like this to happen. I give it until next week when the orange goon will "graciously" roll back more tariffs and give more exemptions.
The world needs these exotic components to keep running at this point in history. Any long-term disruption will have a far reaching effect on a wide range of industries.
This is what happens when you make things up as you go along because you have no idea what you're doing.

The problem is, the damage is done. The US is no longer a trusted trade partner, let alone a top level trusted one. Countries the world over are looking to other nations for trade.
For years China's growing influence in the Asia Pacific region has been a concern... so what did Trump do... Put tariffs on everyone which sent APAC nations straight into Chinas waiting arms... Well fucking done, the issue is now worse.

That's the quiet part. Trump likes to talk about countries willing to negotiate. He even spoke about the EU willing to negotiate. Except the EU said they aren't negotiating or starting trade talks with the USA. On the other hand the trade war did make Ursula von der Leyen did speak with someone, Premier Li Qiang.

So what I am reading is that golden city on the hill (EU) is willing to turn a blind eye to gross human rights violations (China) for cheap stuff? Yeah, that sounds like the hypocrisy I'm use to from humanity.
If we had any real conviction, we would of started this decoupling at least a decade ago. Instead, we're totally okay with near slave labor so long as we can pretend we don't know. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Turning a blind eye? Oh you sweet summer child, no one has ever given a shit about human rights violations in China. Especially not China's biggest trading partner ... the USA.
