Tariffs may buy time but they are also an admission the US cannot win in an open and free market anymore.
China has already won the trade war in terms of general manufactured goods- they dominate production and supply of most things- now they are moving into the high tech areas where the west still has some advantage and the crucial thing is China wants to build the standards and protocols upon which future economy will depend- thereby entrenching hegemony in the same way the west has via its institutional and protocol dominance.
It is not clear who will win but the trends appear to be in Chinas favour and the west is fighting for its future wealth and dominance.
Time will tell!
Its not a free or open market with China when there are government subsidies whole sections of economy. They still can't develop the cutting edge chips internally and have said for the last couple of years they are about to only to not pull it off.
Plus their AI is superrrrrrr racist

The entire US economy enjoys the exceptional privilege of global monetary system hegemony via the USD based trade payments protocol SWIFT and USD reserve currency status which has enabled US budget and trade deficits for decades.
That is one fucking massive subsidy of the entire US economy...paid for by all other countries...
In addition to seeking dominance in the emerging protocols like AI, where China is making a credible challenge China seeks to build an alternative to the SWIFT/USD hegemony via CIPS and mBridge which enable trade payments for Iran and Russia and have attracted the interest of Saudi Arabia who have joined BRICS and mBridge.
US AI does not carry its own cultural bias?
reply
Ummm so if you kept up with AI you would know that the US isn't just using US data so no a cultural, religious, and color bias issue is extremely low compared to others.
Who is going to lead BRICS? China is hacking the hell outta Russia at the moment, China and India don't have a border finalized, and Saudi went back to offering bonds and debt in USD after how bad the Yen move failed

Coming from you the denial of cultural bias is debatable.
Do you still deny the CIAs involvement in the removal of the democratically elected Iran government of Mohammad Mosaddegh?
Do you deny Palantirs AI military role?
Control of the narrative is a strategic weapon that those seeking to maintain US leadersdhip in AI acknowledge as a crucial factor and both their and Chinas objectives.
reply
Um… its what the stats the the papers show. Its what the Chinese IP theft shows because if they were good they wouldn't need to.
Palantir has never hid they were a defense company and told their employees to quit if they didn't like it 😂
Where is China getting there data? They don't have a cultural melting pot. Which country have you called an empire and talked about being involved in everything everywhere? Oh snap that's the US not China.
Tell me where is Chinas cutting edge chip? Oh wait that's right they are sizes bigger than the West

Chinas AI are open source.
US AI is closed source and very expensive.
China is winning the AI race along with most other strategic technologies by providing a comparable and competitive product at a better price.
USA is desperately trying to defend its hegemony by imposing tariffs and strong-arming and bullying other nations to block Chinese access to markets and supply chains- admission that USA is not competitive in a free and open market.
