American farmers had plenty of customers before the China trade took off. There are still plenty of hungry people on Earth, so the China trade war may actually be a blessing in disguise to American farmers as it may require some intelligent political work to provide some cooperative leadership making adjustments.
China is a large market as well as producer, so taking it off-line from the United States can only be for the good for Americans concerned about getting global capitalists to locate state-of-the-art manufacturing technology in the United States if they want to sell to American consumers.
Nearly fifty million Americans have less than a half of one percent of the national income. Wealth is largely concentrated in the United States in the hands of a small minority of the people.
What I mean is that there are perhaps one-hundred million citizens that could use a pay increase, stable employment with benefits and good wages. The 1% that own everything have gutted benefits and job stability in the midst of all of their outsourcing and downsizing. They have let the national infrastructure decay and failed to invest in America. They have even had vast tax cuts in order to invest in China. They hide behind the middle and upper middle class in order to prevent tax increases for themselves too.
The most wealth have transferred so much technology to China as well as manufacturing that the United States is losing its creative edge. America has some of the slowest internet and train speed in the first world. There is vast public debt- 22 trillion dollars of it. People would like to see the United States actually get better technologically, economically and environmentally becoming leaders again in mass social improvement. Quitting the China trade could help accomplish that. Hopefully the trade war will escalate to a trade ban for half a century.
