American can't always sell something Chinese don't desired, to balance the trade.
Now, China still need Tokens, NV cards and SOTA.
If you can't enter Chinese market now, can't enter Chinese market never.
And no idea how to exchange Chinese goods at that time.
Have a question for Europeans. Your government thought the Chinese Yuan is undervalued, why not you and your government buy some Chinese Yuan as the foreign exchange reserve? It's cheap, right?
