It's another jab at China for not apologizing to Trump and coming to the table to do a deal, while he, Vance, and the rest of the stooges in the Administration

  Leaving aside the support base, lots of ambitious and driven people use the same strategy Trump does, cause it works. For them. At the expense of others. Sort of like the survival strategy of parasites and predators in nature. They key point being they survive. Because it works. To do it at the scale Trump does it though, is only possible via social media network effects. People not only recognize what Trump is doing because they do it too, they see his rise as validation of their own choices and survival strategies. Basically attack/provoke. If it does work you are in a dominating position. If it doesn't work then use the Reaction of the target to gain allies/sympathy/support/reinforce fear+doubts+insecurities etc. The Chinese dont look capable of responding to this model, cause they don't have people who can stand as a total contrast to this model. Nor do they have anyone who can get attention on social media.
