Not one mention on how companies are changing their supply channels by leaving China. Sure Xi has all the power.
He may give Orange some face savings though as the article indicates if he thinks it’s in their interest.
We missed a golden opportunity for the ultimate coalition against them with TPP.
You support a moron.
than U.S.. Especially China's social security system/welfare system is still under developed, not well established.
I have mentioned this on this board a few times. China always view unemployment as a political issues and view it as the biggest cause of political and social instability. Their whole economy is built on this view that let more people work. That's why many exports, such steel....China's business barely make profits from them. But these business can allow people employed. For China it's the mission completed.
Why China view unemployment as a political issues? It went back to 1989 Tiananmen square. Chinese government learned a big and important lesson from their first reform that resulted in unemployment between 1985- 1989 which is the first time they had unemployment since 1949. Chinese gov learned that Jobless/esperate people can do crazy things. That's a big lesson to them.
This word Smith's assumption that Chinese can take more pain, mostly true though (especially on old Chinese), is purely from stereotype, NOT from his understanding of China's political reality.

Sooo, what do you think they do, completely change their system to pacify Orange, or put up with some unemployment? Methinks the latter. Or per the article, they give Orange some type of face saving deal that means little or nothing.
very possible in the end. That's a great achievement for U.S.

What do they consider halfway? What do we give up?
Prolly the window dressing that will save Orange face.
You consider this news? Kim Jung Un 2.0.
That means if Trump had 6 demands rejected earlier by China. Now China is willing to meet 3 demands of them and possible more. Ask negotiators for details.

Nothingburger to quote a famous pundit.
Now imagine if we had real leverage like a good TPP agreement with those new supply chain nations? Oh yeah, that’s right.

They are use to lower standards and not living outside their means.
And don’t take it from me. Listen to the CEO’s who said their suppliers are moving out of China. Why is that happening? It’s the Orange man that is making that happen.
Why abandoning a TPP deal was so stupid.

elsewhere. The tariffs have accelerated it.
It’s all about timing. He needs 2+% growth in 2020. Capitulation to China too soon might bring on a recession next year. It’s cynical but so is everything about politics. However, if Xi crushes Hong Kong it will freak the US public into uniting behind a defiant incumbent President. Xi is holding a bad hand... which is very apparent from reading most of this op ed.
The Stable Genius!
He knows some very big words.
Contrarily, they always lose when it's <2 1/2%. Check out FDR's record. Even in mid-depression he found a way to goose the economy during an election year. On other hand, Hoover, Carter and Bush I all missed the mark and were out the door.
None of the others have the personal negative ratings that he has.
If Trump lose 2020 election, he is defeated by Xi. If Trump win the election, there will be Trump-China collusion at expense of America (are you hearing, Mueller? Get ready to be back). I would say this: this word smith is a scumbag and a dirty dog. MSM are truly the enemy of the people.
I hope Trump campaign bookmark this WaPo piece and use it in their campaign.
