Yep, patience is a virtue, China will come back on their hands and knees and the deal will be one we can accept.

China is run by gangsters, but being well-educated Communist gangsters, they know how to recognize a potential pre-revolutionary crisis when it is staring directly in their Commie faces. A combination of political and economic issues has brought down many regimes, and Comrade Xi and his allies do not want theirs to find a place on that list.

Thus, in the last few days, China has taken a less confrontational tone toward both the civil protests in Hong Kong and the economic confrontation with the US. It is hard though to detect a fundamental change in Chinese policy. Overall, I expect the squeeze on the dissidents in Hong Kong to continue, with US-Chinese trade talks unlikely to yield anything more than a limited agreement.

Partner, we should not accept anything less than what you have mentioned.

The Chicoms have already mentioned that they want to be superior to the U.S. in manufacturing and exporting.

The Chicoms obviously have no scruples whatsoever. They have stolen all the intellectual property in the amount of $300 Billion plus a year. Did we mention that they also like to cheat and copy our data from our dwgs. and specifications.

The Chicoms stole all the ASME books and language, which gives all the rules and regulations of how to build engineering items of a plant or even Reactor technology. Enough is enough with these Chicoms.

President Trump is correct on why we gave this technology free and yet the Chicoms copy this technology. President Trump was not our president the past 28 years.

China may not come back for a deal - but it doesn't matter. America has to recognize that China has a mercantilist, centrally-planning Communist government. Trade will always be firmly controlled and manipulated by them, with solely their own strategic benefit in mind.
