The Chinese believe they are the greatest civilization in all of history and have been so for the past 5000 years, with the last 100 or so being the exception, not the rule. Any rule, regulation, or law imposed on them from outside which impedes their (in their mind) ascendance..

I'd also argue that the Chinese know a shit-ton more about "eating bitter" than any American...so the prospects of them folding in "trade war" are likely not good.
