It is very difficult to understand the confused mind of a D grader

In order to provide a good answer to the D grader, China is now selling less and less to the USA, which will reduce the trade deficit. I guess that is what Trump wants and is going to be good for the USA. Let the USA buy more from other countries, more expensively. In other words, decoupling will solve all the deficit problem with China once and for all, and China is helping the USA to reach that goal.

It must also be said that China is already helping the USA to reduce its trade deficit by selling less rare earths to the USA, am I right. Why does the USA want to import more rare earths from China that will make the deficit worse, lol?

On the other hand, in order to sell more to China, why is the USA putting all the sanctions and hurdles to prevent sales of chips to China and only the outdated versions were offered to China. Trump thinks the Chinese are as dumb as he is trying to keep the Chinese dependent on USA tech.

The good thing about those sanctions is that they have helped in fast tracking the Chinese into striving to be self-dependent much faster and pouring in resources to enable China to stay away from USA tech. China would still be dependent on USA tech if all those tech sanctions had not been put in place by the USA. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and the Chinese are just keeping their heads down and powering ahead.

Now, the Chinese are rising to become a big competitor in the field of memory chips, which even Samsung, the world's biggest memory chip maker, is worried.

The Chinses are now on their way to making high-end chips using new architecture that has the USA, ASML and TSMC worried as well. That they have found a way around, without depending on hardware constraints controlled by the USA, is a game changer. The soothsayers in the West can continue to throw doubts in the new architecture created by the Chinese, but China will have the last laugh when the shit hits their fan.
