This. The Chinese people are able (if not willing) to put up with a much lower standard of living than even the most hillbilly MAGAs are willing to tolerate, because an authoritarian government like China doesn't have to care what its people want. Trump will get nothing out of this "deal" and if we're incredibly lucky, their government will be satisfied with humiliating Trump and going back to the status quo. It's a big propaganda win for them.
