Yeah, U.S. economy suffering from the China trade war didn't happen - in some alternate universe.
In our universe just half a year of China trade war brinkmanship back in 2018 and early 2019 was a main factor that crashed the NASDAQ by ~30%:
That ~30% fall triggered right when the China trade war intensified, and NASDAQ bounced back when a looming China trade deal was announced. I also cited the studies that show that much of the cost of the China trade war is paid by ... U.S. consumers and businesses.
You can [somewhat foolishly] claim that it's coincidence, that it's completely unrelated, that all those studies are just librul conspiracies - but you cannot claim that it didn't happen.
China trade war and the U.S. tech sector goes down - and it's one of the possible recession triggers. TSLA historically also correlated with China trade war worries - given how big the Chinese EV market is.
