The White House announced this morning that an “enforceable trade deal” is now in sight after “constructive” talks with China in Shanghai.

I'm sorry but how many times have we heard this before only to have China blow it all up at the last minute?

OK, let’s say they don’t do as they promised, is the Trump administration going to let them get away with it this time?

China watched the Mueller testimony and the last Democrat debate.

They are now resigned to the fact that Trump is here for the next six years and that they have to deal with him, not the Democrat appeasers.

Hardball and hammering out imply force. Force causes loss of face.

To succeed relations must be amicable on the surface even with deep divisions.

The goal afterall is to reduce the trade imbalance by increasing American sales. Tariffs are tit for tat when being removed.

Anyone who still believes the White House version of these meetings deserves what they get.

China is having ag problems right now that will take a couple years at least to fix. Likely most people will have forgotten any deal by then.

Agreed. So tired of this crap. The size of their ag purchases shouldn’t be the issue anyway.

“Until they don’t.”

They have lied before.

Lost on some of you, is the fact that sometimes, (many times), other countries NEED what we’re selling.

China NEEDS food, more than we need their cheap plastic shit.

Amen to that. America has a century-long supply of garage sale items from China, but in the future we may have to hoard our plastic straws.
