  • I thought China wasn't open to tariff talks?

    China is "evaluating" an offer from the U.S. to hold talks on tariffs, according to a Friday statement from the Chinese Commerce Ministry.
    This shift in tone could leave the door open for the world’s two
    largest economies to deescalate the trade war that has left global
    markets in turmoil.

    "The U.S. has recently taken the initiative on many occasions to
    convey information to China through relevant parties, saying it hopes
    to talk with China," the ministry said in a statement, according to a
    Reuters translation. The ministry also said that Beijing was
    "evaluating this."

    However, while Beijing appears to be open to negotiations, the Chinese
    Commerce Ministry warned that it would not be forced into making a bad
    deal. According to the Reuters translation, the ministry said that
    "attempting to use talks as a pretext to engage in coercion and
    extortion would not work."

    That's China-speak for "they are very interested".

    China knows its dick is in a sling. It needs to negotiate. What it is
    doing is posturing to make it look like it isn't being strongarmed into negotiations, let alone a settlement. Something will eventaully get done.

    You're an expert on China now?

    The fact is that this bears out that China is not presently negotiating
    and therefore the Trump junta lied to you when they said they were.
