Wouldn't it be ironic if Trump's tarriff war winds up benefiting the

 Trump hasn't get the attention span to have a plan.
 China is replaying Japan's me-too industrialisation,  unfortunately including the enlarged co-prosperity sphere. They may get to democracy a bit faster. Replicating other people's technological advances may let them copy the poltical advances as well. The USA is still stuck with a remarkably primitive political system, so it isn't guaranteed.
