    If Europe grows a back bone and actually starts a full on Trade War with the US, I wouldn’t be surprised if China joined in. I could see them carefully timing their action to maximize damage.

      China doesn’t even need to really join. They can just announce “looks like US bonds are losing value and we’re going to sell crapload of them in order to secure our investments”. No need to mention trade wars or do anything else.
