Who here "thinks" that China will blink first in the trade wars?

[my2¢]

Chinese didn't announce the date when their tariffs on U.S. soybeans will take effect. Thus their announced tariffs have driven down the price and all the while the Chinese are still buying, costing U.S. farmers a mint.

Winning? The art of the deal is looking like childish finger painting.

Soybeans farmers ‘extremely frustrated’ over China trade war

For those who claim that Trump is "the greatest negotiator that ever walked the planet" (beside Trump himself, that is) the surprise will be very disappointing.

Trump has picked the wrong fight, using the worst tools at his disposal probably because of his hatred of Obama. If you really wanted to have China buckle to our demands of better trade balances, less currency manipulation and have China curtail the stealing of our intellectual properties, THEN the best method would have been to REJOIN the TPP accords.

China will purchase her needs for soy beans and corn from such other countries as Brazil, Argentina, Canada, Mexico ,Peru, etc.......and we can expect that China may abandon its purchases of Boeing air crafts, opting for Air Bus from European (mostly France) manufacturers.

Yes, China may currently need our exports, but we are NOT the only suppliers of the commodities that Chain needs.....and once other suppliers step up to service China's needs, what would ever make that country seek supplies from her arch economic "enemy," the U.S.?

Who thinks China will blink first in this so called "trade war"?

I do.

And thanks, as always, for rooting against America.

Great analysis Dude. We should all see that same outcome on MOST of your daily griping come to pass in the coming year..

Problem ALWAYS was ---- NOBODY was negotiating in US interests. They were working from an attitude of sharing and redistributing global trade with the "needy"...

Apologies to TemplarKormac who beat me to it.... Dig in Nattieman...

Perhaps someone should tell you that for Xi, this is the THIRD time that he has "promised" to cut tariffs, etc......And, secondly, Xi has long tried to appease German and UK auto manufacturers.

But, forgive me if I've interrupted your day-long watching of FOX [not ever] News to read my posts.
