But why? It's only serving to isolate the US. I'd be leaning right into it with the trolling -

"No, no, this is great, continue, please... this is working out REALLY well for you."

That's exactly what China is doing though. This is classic reverse psychology. USA hasn't even got a single trade deal, this is just China reminding everyone how stupid USA threats are.

Is this like a formal political denouncement? Or just a finger wagging?
