What other measures is the Chinese government considering in response to the spiraling trade war with the United States? Two prominent Chinese pundits have both posted an identical list of potential responses on social media accounts. Neither of these is an official account, but they are both connected to officialdom; one is the personal account of Liu Hong, a senior editor at Xinhuanet, the online platform of the state media news agency. The other is a prominent nationalist account, “Chairman Rabbit,” run by the grandson of a Chinese Communist Party city chief.
The list is attributed only to “sources,” which usually means mid-tier government officials or policy advisors. Both pundits added their own commentary—Chairman Rabbit referred to the conflict as a “war without gun smoke,” a popular phrase in Chinese strategy.
