Tariff coercion won't work against China which will fight US bullying to the end

"America First" is essentially nothing more than the United States trying to make the "World Coerced". As such, it is "America Cursed". A country cursed by its own megalomania and cursed by other countries for its callous malice.

And having made itself a curse to all the other nations on Earth with its calculated tariff extortion, the US can hardly bleat about a country not doing what is expected when cursed in return.

Yet that is what the White House has done by slapping an additional 50 percent tariff on China for having the gall to stand up to his administration's intended tariff torture.
