Beijing to Washington: 'Meet China Halfway' to End Tariff War (Oh horsefeathers) :)
VOA ^ | August 21, 2019 10:41 AM | By Ken Bredemeier

Beijing appealed to Washington on Wednesday to "meet China halfway" on a new trade deal to end the tit-for-tat tariff war between the world's two biggest economies.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang expressed hope that the U.S. can "get along" with China and resume "mutually beneficial" trade.

Whether the new appeal would move the U.S. toward a new deal is questionable, although trade talks are set to resume in Washington next month.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters he was not ready to reach an accord with China until it agreed to more favorable terms on intellectual property deals and other disputes. The two sides also disagree on how to enforce an agreement.

Heck no.

Keep sending Chinese export markets, to other countries.

America, for example.

They’re sounding like Democrats. Compromise consists of giving them everything, and their agreeing to that. Fifty fifty.

Hey China, how about you change your slave economy so your own people can buy the stuff?

To tell the truth, they may have concluded America can not stand up for itself.

It has now been what, 27 years?

Exactly, there version of compromise means we continue to buy 100% everything from them while they continue to buy nothing from us. That’s what they call a 50/50 deal.

If you pay attention you would see that a consumer economy has developed in China and the people have virtually everything we do.

That includes very Americaan Daisey Maes.

Hence bert’s expression: How ‘ya gonna’ keep ‘em down on the farm after they’ve got Daisey Maes?

The unrest in Hong Kong could breakout over some desire for more freedom in Shanghai or all over the Pearl River Delta

ALL TRUMP WANTS IS FOR THEM TO DO WHAT THEY ALREADY AGREED TO!

Stop stealing our technology, protect our patent rights, and remove tariffs that are several times larger than ours.

Meeting halfway after decades of abuses from China means accepting their unconditional surrender.

In the beginning there was "right" and "wrong".

We've been compromising in the WRONG direction ever since.

What would you like China to keep stealing?

Businesses are leaving China to avoid tariffs.
