The US' plan to decouple with China now receives a boost from an unlikely partner, China itself.
Xi's draconian zero-COVID policies have pushed all businesses to the wall. Many have already closed their doors and others are struggling. Foreign companies such as Foxconn will have no option but to reduce their reliance on their Chinese manufacturing bases in favor of their plants outside of China. All of these lead to what the US leaders want to see, an accelerated separation with China.
