Excellent news. It will all work out.

President Trump knows what he is doing.

I also read that negotiations are restarting at a news level.

Trump out-maneuvered them.

When in a high stake poker game and you run out of chips, politely and silently leave the table.

There’s nothing left for them to tariff other than airplane parts. Chinese purchases of US goods are declining nearly to zero. Trump has hurt America.

Trump called their bluff.

Last ChiCom increase was designed to panic market, amplify recession talk and undermine Trump going in to G7.

This came on the heels of his delaying the Christmas tech tariffs so they may have seen a softening on US side.

Trump immediately announcing new tariffs and stating that his only regret was not implemementing more tariffs earlier pretty much destroys this thinking.

Only remaining strategies are to delay, weaken and violate but now the ChiComs are walking a fine line because of the growing impact on their own economy.

Thank you for being so helpful and posting a link to the actual article.

I don’t know how I screwed it up. Normally I do it correctly, but this “ no excerpt” thing messed me up.

He flushed out the fact that the business model of a whole lot of American industry is solely dependent on cheap labor from China.

I just checked your profile page.

Anyone who calls a globalist jack@ss like Dick Cheney "my buddy" has absolutely no credibility.

China is beginning to feel the pain and I believe the problems in their economy are much more serious than our analysts believe.

I was reading an article in South China Morning Post, and a journalist there says that Chinese Navy Admirals and Communist Party officials have been told to cut back the Navy shipbuilding plan.

They are experiencing engine problems with their Stealth 5th Gen jets, design probs with newer destroyers and frigates limiting their nautical range, and operational probs with their new carrier.

In addition they are struggling with Command and Control issues for sea operations.

Trump has them where he wants them ...I think they are vulnerable to wide unrest over the next few years...Hong Kong may be a harbinger of things to come.

They need a deal.

Perhaps slightly, the way antiseptic stings when killing an infection, but Trump has really, really hurt China. Another promise kept.

Trump telegraphed openly and gave fair warning. Remember Carter’s response to the Soviets going into Afghanistan? A dangerous time because Brezhnev underestimated/misunderstood Democrat intentions. Giving up the neutron bomb in the beginning without anything in return suggested naiveté. You’re better off being a no nonsense bad guy. It leads to a safer world while the leftists call you racist and mean spirited.

According to info on Instagram, sourced by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, old defaulted debt from imperial Qing dynasty, which amounts to 1 trillion on defaulted debt, might help Trump in current trade negotiations.
