China has a habit of reneging on trade deals.

I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw the USS Nimitz.

China thinks in the long term - they know that long term NO “Equal” will put up with ‘theft’ being part of trade deals. So they can work something out now or hope Trump’s not elected and they can work out a back room deal with Biden... Problem is ALL of us know they’ve worked out rip off deals with democrats for years... and we’re NOT going to let Biden and his Yale scum in State to rip off the American people.

The smart move is to deal with Trump... Biden could sell China down the river...

Force causes loss of face.

Westerners shouldn't accommodate anyone's desire to "save face". Saving face is a euphemism for lying. Lies just buy time and are not acceptable from any culture, especially during serious contract negotiations.

A Chinese pharmacist working at Costco told me to not take this antibiotic with dairy. Having just picked up eggs under a big sign that read DAIRY I asked her if eggs are considered dairy. She replied confidently "Yes, eggs are dairy" saving face because she didn't know. I googled when I got home and found that was a face saving lie, not a good habit from a pharmacist. Medical people must say "I don't know" instead of saving face.

It’s not our business to dictate how much a country buys from us of specific goods.

And the Chinese never follow through on their promises anyway.
