No surprise here.....they need our food more than we need their junk. China was getting a bit too big so Trump's knocking them back down.

You do know that Tramp blinked first and that was China's response to Tramp delaying his tariffs on China.
Oh that's right, you get your FAKE NEWS from the Right.

China asked Trump to delay the tariffs, so as a good will gesture he delayed them two weeks. That's not blinking, that's smart negotiating. Your TDS is showing.
There is no "trade deal" yet, they seem to be taking the low hanging fruit first instead of a mega-deal.
What do you think will happen this week when the Fed lowers interest rates a 1/4 point?

Trump's oft used tactic is called truthful hyperbole. It is evident in nearly everything he says. He defines truthful hyperbole in his book, The Art of the Deal..

The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.

Of course, with his over 12,000 lies since he became President, Trump has gone far beyond "innocent form of exaggeration." https://beta.washingtonpost.com/pol...as-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days/

The perfect example of truthful hyperbole were the two ludicrous campaign promises mentioned below.

"Trump will eliminate the $19 trillion national debt “over a period of eight years," or so he said. This may have come right after Trump promised that Mexico would build a wall for us and paying for it."

These promises were far removed from reality, and it is difficult to understand how any American voter could believe them. It's like a liberal candidate for President promising free health care, free college tuition, and a raise of $200/Mo from Social Security if elected. No one in his/her right mind would believe such promises.

But Trump's base did. They voted him into office. Perhaps it has something to do with education.

According to a recent ABC/WSJ poll, among white non-college men Trump's approval rating is 67% vs. Democrats, 22%. In all other categories involving men, women, and college Trump is behind the Democrats, especially among college educated women. In the latter category, Democrats lead Trump 63% to 30%. However, among non-college-educated white women, a group Trump carried by 27 points in 2016 exit polls, he is now trailing.

Trump is losing America’s suburbs, and his base of support is rural. Trump is losing ground in America's suburbs

Maybe that explains it.

China asked no such thing. Tramp's economic advisors showed him just how much his STUPID tariffs would cost the American consumer during the Christmas season and Tramp caved.

If you don't know how to debate, with facts, please go to the flame zone or other places where liars with TDS hang out.
Trump delays tariff hikes by two weeks in 'good will' gesture to China
"Trump said the postponement came “at the request of the Vice Premier of China, Liu He, and due to the fact that the People’s Republic of China will be celebrating their 70th Anniversary.”

They need American pork desperately ..the pork supply over there is rather decimated
The workers are grumbling over the price of domestic .

The fact is that, despite escalating trade tensions, Beijing sees Trump as the ideal U.S. president for China. Trump’s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, his tough approach to trade with Japan, and his talk of removing U.S. troops from South Korea all served China’s interests by accelerating the decline of U.S. influence in Asia, opening space for China to expand its influence even faster than it had ever thought possible. China could hardly hope for a more cooperative occupant of the White House. China remains confident in its ability to manage Trump.

You make a lot of claims there without even one link to back them up?! More "fake news".
1. Trump's tariffs is causing many companies to move out of China to places like VN.
Trade war drives manufacturers out of China, just not to the US
2. Trump wants Japan to rebuild their defenses to help restrain China
In the time of Trump, Japan is looking to defend itself
3. The 30,000 US troops in SK are just a trip-wire, the South Koreans are enough of a trip-wire. Trump is right.
4. China is building bases on man made islands
Why China is building islands in the South China Sea
5. We're in a trade war with China and you're rooting for the Chinese? WTF? Grow a brain. If Trump was being "managed" by China he would not be pursuing a trade war to promote US jobs.
