I believe it to be possible that any business can operate in any country without IP theft if the will is there by the parties involved to do so and that includes China.

Well you can find counterfeit products in a lot of countries.

One of the things that has allowed our country to advance as it has is our respect for private property including IP.

No reason to take more of my property through tariffs to try to protect companies that want to do business in countries that do not have good IP laws.

Right there is 80% of what this trade war is about. Boeing has already built an assembly plant in China. Apple employs thousands in China now but is reluctant to market all their stuff to the Chinese public because of IP. Cat wants to build more plants there and does not want forced partners. On and on.

These people have a lot of lobbying power in DC and we have a trade war now. (It is starting to bite Boeing in the arse.) Trump it seems has now gone from" lets get a deal done quick and end these tariffs" to "the tariffs are good politically in the essential union states of WI, MI, OH and PA" and it is better to continuing punishing the rest of the country until the election is over.
