I'm neutral on the tariffs, I am(or was) actually excited about China getting into the memory market to help keep the other memory makers honest... but it's important to have an alternative source of those components in case there would be trouble between the US and China. There needs to be a way to nudge businesses to have a source of components out of China.

Perhaps the US dependence on China for some products neutralises the chance of trouble between the US and China.

  Considering that China immediately retaliates against the US by putting a tariff on their own food supply I doubt they care about US dependence at all. After all they are the ones with the big trade surplus that refuse to play fair and they are using the surplus on strategic investments on critical infrastructure to increase US dependence on China.

  The interdependence neutralizes to the chance of a full out war but it also neutralizes consequences to pursuing expansion into the South China Sea.
