President Xi SAID China would do these things.

The thing is, China has said things like those, for a long time.

He needs to act, to make sure those things happen now.

But it was a good speech.

That’s nice, but asymmetric tariffs are only part of the problem. The other part is IP... you can’t manufacture there unless you tell everything about how you do it.

Will they buy? Do they drive on the right side of the road? It will be a tough nut to crack even with lower tariffs.

Yep, unlike many countries, the Chinese did get that right. Now, if they actually import our cars as built (and maintain them), they will LITERALLY find those cars cleaning up their air, at least in the eastern half of their country.

Will they buy?

I understand that for high end buyers in China, one of their favorite luxury brands is...Buick! So yes, given the opportunity it appears that some will buy.
