HA!! I don't know what China is doing... THEY are trying to MAKE BELIEVE they are in "charge"... BUT, the WORLD KNOWS they are not. Saw a documentary from someone in China, showing MANY Chinese Shops, Streets, Mass Transportation, and shipping Docks.. with MINUSCULE FRACTIONS of the traffic that are normally there... While, America is ALREADY making NUMEROUS deals with the rest of the WORLD (according to reports)... to restructure trading deals & agreements with America that CHINA is TERRIFIED to CONSIDER... ONE thing for sure... if say a dozen of those agreements are announces to the world, and it's verified by the affected nations... and include lets say Canada, Mexico, and the EU? It's Game, Set, and & MATCH... CHINA LOSES !!
The question is WHAT will they do then? THAT'S when things might get a little dicey !!
If I were China, I'd agree to reduce tariffs on semiconductors - especially those made by Nvidia. Ok, that might not work. Seriously, I would agree to tighten up controls on Fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, and relax trade restrictions on US automobiles. I would concede any ambitions as to the Panama Canal, but maintain sovereignty over Taiwan.
Or, if China wants to be a huge asshole, they could blockade Taiwan and stop the flow of semiconductors from TSMC, or just go into Taiwan and take over the plant. Also, China could refuse to export any drugs like insulin, cortical steroids, blood pressure medications, etc.
