> the number of papers that contain Chinese or ethnic Chinese is

Nobody cares about any "ethnic Chinese" fraction. We're discussing a trade war between US and PRC, not some racial struggle between Chinese and Caucasians or whatever.

my Chinese friends feel all very similarly. While I don't agree with them, it's not productive to be insensitive to their concerns. That's not how you solve conflict.

It doesn't even make any sense. Do they think America is similarly engaged in a trade war with our own ethnic Chinese citizens? One of our most strident anti-China hawks is named Gordon Chang. And we aren't in any struggle against Taiwan.

No, I don't have to be sensitive to such delusions.

Yes, they are Chinese Americans and they feel this country discriminates heavily against them (for example in college admissions).
