You are missing the point.
Fact #1 - China can not AFFORD to lose 10 million+ manufacturing jobs by agreeing to a deal to balance the trade.
Fact #2 - Since there are never TWO winners in any war since recorded history, someone will have to lose in this trade WAR.
Fact #3 - Trump does not like to lose, and China can not afford to lose. Therefore the only option left for China is to HOPE for a democrat president in 2020.
I can bet half of my social security check that China will try to keep negotiating until November 2020. So long as China is “negotiating” Trump can not simply stop the negotiations because of political optics & effect on stock market.
2. Yes, someone will lose. Because Trump is a hard ass, it won't be us.
3. As stated previously, China is not stupid, they know he is going to win in 2020. They don't believe in unicorns either.
4. You're going to lose a lot of money.....
