On paper, china has had low tariffs for 15 years.

Rather, Its the structure of their domestic economy, the top-down central planning and intense political control of business, their system of state-run industries, the very serious non-tariff barriers, etc... in sum - their entire economic system - which has caused the present situation with the USA.

And short of the collapse of the CCP - this situation will NOT change, regardless of any agreement on tariffs.

So I don’t see how any deal can be made that addresses what really needs to be addressed.

“So I don’t see how any deal can be made that addresses what really needs to be addressed.”

So how exactly do you perceive so clearly what the Trump administration can not with all their resources and contacts?

What would you do if you were Trump?
