The reason why so many can never take you serious is because you cannot stick to a point and back it up when challenged. You started out implying that China was specifically targeting Red states over Blue states. Then, when it is pointed out that your implication is just incorrect, you shift and try to play off that you were meaning something totally different. If you are going to make a claim, be able to back it up with substance. When you can't, admit you misspoke; don't just try to change the direction of your original intent.
The intent of my posts never changed, the point that was being made has remained the same the whole time. My position that China deliberately targeted red states, is backed up by the CCPs own mouthpieces themselves. The Chinese themselves are saying they are targeting red states specifically.
Here's one Mouthpiece talking of targeting red states:

Here's another mouthpiece saying essentially the same thing:

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diploma ... -trade-war
Regarding potential geopolitical and economic implications, the Chinese are shooting themselves in the foot regarding their entire strategy. US farmers will simply trade in the domestic market and with Latin America and Europe which will make up for the revenue lost in China. Agricultural Products like pistachios that are currently procured from China could simply be grown from alternative sources in the domestic market if there is demand for it.
