LOL! Flint water contamination was the result of the city bureaucrats changing water source and not applying sufficient anti-corrosion chemical to the pipes (i.e. bureaucratic maintenance failure/cost-cutting comparable to Venezuela and Cuba as well as the former soviet block) . . . and medical services being so expensive is once again due to government bureaucracy banning the free practice of medicine.
Monopolists are monopolists even if they wear the costume of government bureaucrats. Their first priority is always themselves, and the rest of the population suffer due to that forced transfer from the average people to the monopolists. Yet somehow the allegedly well-educated leftists believe monopolists are the solution to every problem (usually created by government enforced monopolies to begin with!)

US exports to China 2017: $165.5B
US exports to China 2018: $179.6B
China exports to US 2017: $197.9B
China exports to US 2018: $193.5B
The US is the #1 individual country export destination for Chinese goods.
China is the #3 individual country export destination for US goods.
This tells me:
US putting tariffs on Chinese imports hits at their #1 destination. China putting tariffs on US imports hits at our #3 destination.
However, the value of export trade is nearly the same for both country pairs, which suggests that to absorb tariffs is a much worse pill to swallow for China than the US at this point. Also, China is a totalitarian state with a much more tenuous hold over its overshot population, where economic hardship, however temporary, can have an impactful outcome on stability.
