Trade Tease


It is now two months beyond where Trump threatened to increase Chinese tariffs to 25%, I have previously speculated that Xi is playing the rope-a-dope with Trump ... stretching things out until the election season ... hoping Trump will make a bad deal in order to bump his polls.

China seems to be acting like a fan dancer ... now you see it, now you don’t ... public statements that suggest progress, but still the back-and-forth negotiations drag on.

It would appear to this poster that we are nearing the “get off the pot” time for China. President Trump needs to put the fear of  Confucius back into these critical negotiations ... possibly imposing the 25% tariffs and threatening even higher ones.
