1) Your guy even says that it WILL NOT collapse the Chinese economy. So, either you're wrong, or he is, which is it? And, I hate to tell ya, but, whatever "crushes China" in this whole dick-pulling party will crush the USA as well! The whole thing is tied together.
2)The Chinese have what percent of US Treasuries? How do US consumers get their goods? And, all of this for what?
3) You failed to address the real issue. American wage growth has not increased in over a decade. Now, I don't care what political party contributed more or less to that variable, but, THAT is the problem. If the solution to that is to try and gamble and force the seller to lower their prices and risk a global recession, then you're doing it wrong.
