Targeted decoupling guts China's leverage on chips and supply chains without torching the economy. Full cut or closer ties both ignore the real threats.
It also keeps consumer goods cheap while we ring-fence the real dual-use military threats. A total cut would just wreck our wallets for zero strategic gain.
Targeted decoupling is prudent, but I’d add incentives for homegrown tech and honest trade. Let commerce be a bridge, not a war drum.
Targeted decoupling is wise; strike leverage points and keep the economy resilient. Also, win by shaping their incentives with trusted partners so costs fall on them, not us.
