The corporate media will never admit it, but President Trump has masterfully lined up support for America's pressure on China, and China has blinked and now wants "calm" talks. Reuters reports:
China is willing to resolve its trade dispute with the United States through "calm" negotiations and resolutely opposes the escalation of the conflict, Vice Premier Liu He, who has been leading the talks with Washington, said on Monday. (snip)
Liu, speaking at a tech conference in southwest China's Chongqing, said nobody benefited from a trade war.
"We are willing to resolve the issue through consultations and cooperation in a calm attitude and resolutely oppose the escalation of the trade war," Liu, who is President Xi Jinping's top economic adviser, said, according to a government transcript.
"We believe that the escalation of the trade war is not beneficial for China, the United States, nor to the interests of the people of the world," he added.
U.S. companies are especially welcome in China, and will be treated well, Liu said.
Now that supply chains are rapidly shifting out of China, throwing millions out of work there, China sees the wisdom of "welcoming" U.S. companies. But it is not Chinese hospitality that is at issue; it is the intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, and barriers to U.S. exports that U.S. tariff and trade policy are now retaliating against. Those will not go away until China takes enforceable steps to play by the same rules other OECD members observe.

Their impulse is ALWAYS to deceive.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
That thinking was a very pure form of ARROGANCE.
RE: “When China gets rich? They’ll turn into rice-eating versions of OURSELVES...! It’s as sure as GRAVITY..!”
Who said the above?
I have heard 100 variations on that thinking.
Most of the editorial staff of The Economist..?
Maybe - but we want calm talks too... NO more intellectual theft can be said calmly...
THE G-7 IS EATING OUT OF OUR AMERICAN PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HAND !!!!
Got to LOVE President TRUMP.....
Give the wishful-thinking bait a rest.
(I am NOT saying he is) ...
Anti-Christ will be loved when he comes on the scene because he will unite the planet and develop really good political, social and economic climates (para-phrasing a bit, but not by much)
I am fascinated by the politics of the day and equally so as I read my bible and see, more and more, America and or President Trump.
Sunday's Sunday school lesson ;
a continuation of Acts the 20's chapters .....
I can't help but see The Meuller report and Trump beginning in chapter 21 verse 27 ... all the way through to the end of the book (ch 28)
Watch the progress from inquiry to inquiry to that dem farce with nadler and etc.
Things get done when you don’t bow.
Huh?
Same game plan as the muslims.
I’m 1000% behind POTUS Trump on his stand on China. They’ve stolen us blind for decades, with no one having the backbone to tell them nay. But he campaigned on STOPPING it. I admired him a week or two ago when he said he’s not yet ready to make a deal. In THIS instance, all I see in China’s statement was a mealy-mouthed appeal for other Americans to bring their manufacturing to China. POTUS should hold out for ALL of what we want. MAGA
Advice to China - negotiate honestly and fairly because there is a new sheriff in town named Trump and he has a big stick and likes to use it.
Maybe they saw the the one upon whom they staked their future hope, Joe Biden, tumble to THIRD PLACE in the polls today.
I hope china keeps blinking until I am rich.
Isn't that what I've been posting since this whole thing began?
