Fine, then we will only charge them 15% on their imports to us. It’s 10% now, so it’s a win win for us.

This is a very nice start; but, the lower tariffs won’t accomplish much unless non-tariff barriers are also removed.

More winning.

Where are the Nay Saying Never Trumpsters, who told us how Trump would destroy the world and our nation with his tariff war against China?

Never took financial genius to figure this out. common Sense is the key. Too bad the Lefties have no intention of backing our POTUS. further, they refuse to acknowledge any progress. keep on going Mr. trump. You are way ahead of these morons.

Hand wringing — among the GOP establishment.

Good news, but they’ll simply follow the Japanese by replacing the 40% tariff with a non-tariff barrier:

Say, something like, “The importation of US cars must be proceeded by a safety inspection by the authorities located in (insert TINY coastal Chinese town).”

That’s what the French did, many years ago, for videorecorders they didn’t want to levy tariffs on.

There’s a jillion ways they could swing it. Non-tariff barriers are the things of liars and China is FULL of those.

It’s still a symbolic victory, I guess.

But I wonder what the Chinese social credit score will be for buying a foreign car.

I’ve read that Buick is the most popular car in China.

***China is committing to a new trade agreement with the Trump administration***

All the world is shocked - except me, and I hope you. I have explained why China is in a weak bargaining position in all this. They tried to skirt the trade imbalance issue by undermining POTUS politically... didn't work, and they're out of ammunition.

Now they will try to minimize the give back.

We have to stop the theft of patents and intellectual property!
