They’re simply playing for time.

From the outset they never intended to make good on their empty words.

They’re making Trump into a chump, taking us for fools.

When is he going to ACT..?

"When is he going to ACT..?"

The very next story at the link makes the point that China's official growth rate has dropped to its lowest level in almost 30 years, and thousands of companies are leaving China - because of the tariffs that President Trump has already imposed (about half of the total volume of China's exports to the USA).

By screwing around now, China may be be giving the President just the excuse that he is looking for, to drop the big hammer - the biggest tariff package of them all, 25% on the remaining $325 billion of China's exports. They are playing with fire.

Chi-coms play the long game,
WAit, the orange haired guy will be gone soon enough, wether two or 7 years is buy a moment in time.
Raise import duties on every chi-com import.
NO imports unless they open their markets to everyone.
Try to purchase a Harley Davidson in China, $18,000 Electraglide costs $80,000 there.
