Aside from the fact that your comment has  nothing to do with understanding the trade war, I studied in Chengdu for a year and studied mandarin for 4 years...

### REPLY:
Not a Chinese shill but it’s irrational to credit your knowledge of China on studying abroad in Chengdu lol. Chengdu is a shithole compared to tier 1 cities like Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai, HK, etc. The tech &amp; economy in those cities is pretty much on par or surpasses their western counterparts. Social media/fintech payments/logistics are very advanced &amp; ubiquitous in those cities. Of course that isn’t a surprise given IP laws  almost never enforced there.
