> What's the legitimate grievance that China could possibly have about US agriculture? They obviously have none, it's all political retaliation.
Here's a mental model for this. You hit them first, they hit you, now you're complaining that they hit you. "It's political!". The rest of the world is watching and thinking "well, you started it".
