Nationalism and the desire to save face at all costs makes some willing to endure a lot.
Heh. It's easy for the Chinese govt to paint the US as the bad guys, because we started this. They can blame Trump & be truthful at the same time.
There are lots of Chinese who remember what it was like before they embraced Capitalism. They know how far they've come under their current leadership & have good reason to hold fast in their support. The govt has seen to the needs of the people better than any they've had for 150 years. They know it.
They also have the resources to keep on keepin' on with us or w/o us. Their investments in human resources, infrastructure, research and the ability to bring complex projects to fruition have been second to none. A person doesn't have to like everything about their ways to respect them.
