I am willing to bet half of my social security check that China is in no position to make any deal which balances the trade. It is meta-physically impossible. President Xi will be run out of town if millions of Chinese manufacturing workers become unemployed.
China will do lots of negotiating and drag it past Nov 2020. The best hope they have is to deal with president mr/mrs Democrat after Nov 2020.
How dumb do you think DJT is?
He knows this already. What I am hoping for is a deal soon to get him re-elected and then much harder negotiations when they break the deal right after the election.
The best of both worlds.
