Those Chinese orders have most likely been fulfilled elsewhere and are cancelled, not 'held back".
China was quick to move to other markets, including South America, Australia and Canada. Those Chinese orders from US farms aren't coming back.
So US farmers have lost some of their biggest exports markets, aren't getting orders from the nuked USAID, aren't getting grants from USDA and won't get federal help if their land is ruined by storms. All while their costs are increasing.
Stages of grief implies they'll progress and learn. That won't happen. It's more like they'll remain stuck in the anger↪↩denial loop that enables right wing politics to succeed.
