actions of China it's as if there are no ethical or moral limits on anything and that if they can steal from you they do. If they can abuse you, they will. If they can steal your stuff, they will. If they can degrade you in any way for the benefit of the Chinese market, they will.

We don't want to decouple. And then decouple as fast as you can, but in a reasonable common sense way that doesn't destroy you as you're decoupling.

So I say don't decouple while you decouple. So that's how I'd play it too.
