This is a no brainer. China. Their markets are export dependent. Only America's most useless are dependent on China. You could call them the parasitic class. They seek to extract wealth, skim off the top, while creating no value themselves. Thankfully, 80% of US economy is insulated, and will do just fine. Millions will be better off because of the abundance of opportunity available (for those who are not lazy, worthless, hate America, etc).

Millions of millennials are going to have a chance to finally experience prosperity, and they are going to love it. This is the democrats worst nightmare come true. These millennials will rapidly move away from the democratic party, never to return. Mexico doesn't have enough citizens to offer as illegals/voters to rig elections in democrats favor, so it will be decades before democrats have any influence/power.

Leftist apparently love their Chinese made goods more than those on the Right. China has enjoyed the manipulation of their trade with the US for too long. We should have never let it get this far. Besides, shipping Chinese made goods half way around the world on fuel oil powered ships is terrible for the environment.

Consumers.

Chinese govt. may not be so concerned about their citizens as our President should be about his.
This is a game of chess with a President who can't play checkers or chess.
