The so-called "trade" war benefits all parties involved. The US Senate resolution is no accident or quirk of the moment decision. The international tension and hostility is predetermined and preplanned event to further consolidate political positions of current ruling regime in China, US, and the Eurozone. Xenophobia is old, but effective, tool of statecraft to corral the muck into blindly supporting the ruling regime. The world financial system is on the verge of another meltdown, and the conman Trump is a convenient scapegoat for an inevitable market "cycle" occurrence. For China, their monumental mismanagement of resources were due for a major correction, and the politburo standing committee can blame the evil 'Muricans for their inevitable economic collapse. Blaming the "other" is an ingrained, foundational characteristic of humanity that has and will continue to direct human behaviors till the end of time.
