The U.S. isn't decoupling from China. They're just engaged in some nutty tariff war. Decoupling would be moving manufacturing to Mexico, Taiwan, India, Phillipines, but, they haven't done that. No incentives to move were given and they should have been.

Women shouldn't have to or opt to change their name during the marriage process, especially within the US where locking them out of essential documentation is a common practice and a form of repression. Refuse to change it.
