Quite possibly still part of a negotiation strategy. It has become obvious recently that China has adopted a mutually assured destruction (MAD) approach to trade talks. The most likely reason is that the usual DS traitors are advising Xi to damage Trump via the economy badly enough to help the DS defeat Trump in 2020. Once DJT is gone, the usual 5th columnists will restart the selling out of America to the PRC.
Trump is throwing down the challenge flag, showing he is not intimidated, instead confident. I am not so sure Xi can be so assured. China stands to lose immensely in this trade war - always did. Wisdom dictated that they hold out for as good as they can get. I kept posting that view all through the first half of this year.
To my dismay Xi has chosen the MAD path to follow. The only reason I can think of is that American DS-ers are pushing him towards a 'Gunfight at the OK Corral'. The DS has little to lose, but Xi has to face the politbureau and the warlords. A curious turn of events: China with a six shooter and POTUS with a howitzer... a huge gamble on China's part.. HIGH STAKES.
Of course the MSM is all over it with gloom and doom for the poor American businessman and consumer; gin up all the fear and worry that propaganda can muster -- and don't forget the looming recession that will reverse all our gains.
And quietly off to the side, lost in the grass so to speak, is the good possibility that this all fits Trump's stated goal to encourage American companies to do less business with China, obviating any need for extensive dealings with verifications with a partner infamous for cheating.

Bingo. Wouldn't you love to have a record of all the traitorous talks that former Obama officials have had with China, Iran, Venezuela, Muslim Brotherhood, the EU globalists and other enemies, encouraging them to try and help defeat Trump?
But President Trump is a player too (hahahahah ... understatement!).
Today he simultaneously riled up the two biggest, baddest foes of American sovereignty and GREATNESS: China and the global banking cartel ... sending Wall Street into a self-cannibalistic feeding frenzy.
HAVEN'T WE SEEN THIS TACTICAL STYLE BEFORE ... Trump using drama in one area to distract from the real action elsewhere?
It occurs to me that in the midst of heads exploding over TRADE WAR and THERMONUCLEAR PRESIDENTIAL TWEETS might be an ideal time to start arresting derp traitors!
One thing is for sure: POTUS/Q+ is filling the Q gap with red meat during this hiatus.
I'm not so certain about that...
JMHO the last two years have been a whole series of Death by a Thousand Cuts for the DS/Media/'rats.
Everything...every..single..thing they've tried to "get" Trump has backfired to the point that they're basically down to their last hole card, junk the economy.
Only problem is that to get maximum effect with minimum impact on the funds put at risk, my best guess says that Economy Bomb shouldn't be dropped until at most 6-8 weeks before the election. (Exactly as was done in 2008) Therefore, even waiting until NEXT August could still be too early.
Somebody's scared.
Somebody's desperate.
...and it ain't Trump.

High stakes game of chicken?
trumps plan resulted in US energy independence. How big was this one accomplishment?
he’s right on immigration & the wall.
He stated clearly from the start he wants to make america great again. Take care of america first. His china policy should be no surprise.
The surprise to some is we have never seen a pol like this businessman /POTUS with his determination to get things resolved.
