Yes, it may appear that way, but that's only because China has been spoiled for so long and they still thinks we're going to blink first... That's just not going to happen with Donald, he's following his plan and I'm very sure he's fully aware of the Chinese cultural influences driving their reactions and decisions... Respectfully, if you're becoming impatient, then maybe so are they... Donald is not one to back off under any circumstances... he takes calculated risks and has them well planned out in advance... As a part of his deal making strategy he always calculates the worst downside before entering into any deal negotiations, this much I do know about the guy... I believe he knows exactly what he's doing and many people are losing their patience, that's a very good sign... this means that China may also be losing their patience... When he invited them back to the table, that was already giving them a way to save face.... but they decided to call his bluff one more time... China cannot afford to continue playing games this way, we're holding all the cards and we have a full stack left to play... China is running on empty, their stock market is at a 4 year low... it's up to them to stop the nonsense... They can stop copying our technology and stealing our intellectual property, or they will continue to pay the price dearly... it's tough love, we can't give in to a spoiled brat just because they throw a tantrum... It's hardball and they need to come to their senses and drop their tariffs or we will continue tightening our grip on them, it's just that simple and it's up to them, not us... they have no choice but to play fair, that's all we ask... If they don't save face but this ends in their disgrace, then it was their decision to end it any way they choose... GZ

This is more than Joss or saving face. It is about China wanting to become the most powerful country in the world using unfair trade practices. Trump is doing what must be done and what a succession of wimps have known was required but avoided taking action. Avoiding the elephant in the room does not make it go away. I hope everyone has taken the time to read this article by a wise old gentleman. stevetabb.com
