Can the US afford to decouple from China?

Smith

The US administration is overestimating its strength. Many countries don't see it as in their interest to follow the US into a full decoupling. Take the UK as an example – the UK is facing the unemployment crisis thanks to the coronavirus epidemic. With the epidemic far from over, decoupling from China will come with tremendous consequences. The UK need not follow in the US' footsteps and will have to chart a course based on its own interests.
