The only thing they’ll “understand” is a 2x4 applied firmly between the eyes.

China is reacting to the Mueller Report. China believed the propaganda. China was running out the Trump clock

China and north Korea believed they could maintain the status quo simply by letting events take their place and Trump would be gone.

Get this....... China believed hillary won the election. Hillary won the popular vote and thus the election.

The communists have no intention of honoring any agreement made anyway - they never have.

I doubt that the Trump Administration expects them to. This is essentially a long and complex economic divorce.

Businesses need a long lead time to shift their supply chains out of China. While that is happening, they will continue to posture on holding trade talks, for appearances’ sake.

This round of tariffs is going to hurt the Chinese economy. $25% is more than they can make up with currency manipulation and lower lending rates from State banks.

Bottom Line: They will be losing the business that has the 25% tariffs over the next year or two, along with its whole supporting supply chain, and the economic support of all the jobs associated with that volume.

If China loses the US market entirely (if the next round of 25% on 325 billion is levied), they will have a net trade deficit with the rest of the world. They are vulnerable to potentially epic debt and currency crises at some point - they are way out of whack by objective measures.

Shanghai stock market down 5.5% today.

Black Monday for them.

Minor blip for us - S&P 500 Index fell 0.5%, Nasdaq 0.5%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average 0.3%.

Basically a normal day.

For decades the Chinese have been led to expect that if they approached some agreement and then backed off at the last minute, the Americans would go ahead and accept it because the Americans are so eager to reach an agreement, any agreement, that they will back down and suck it up.

Trump doesn’t roll that way and the Chinese will come back to the table more honest after having learned that lesson.

Lighthizer Says Doesn’t Know Why China Position Shifted>

I'd bet one reason, and maybe the main reason, is that a bunch Dims are sending the message for the Chicoms to wait out Trump and things will get better for them if he doesn't win re-election.

More flexibility after the 2020 election.

I also think the Chicoms and Russians and maybe even some American Dims are sending Kim and the Norks the same message.
