WASHINGTON: The US isn’t ready to make a trade deal with China, President Donald Trump said while on a state visit to Japan.

"I think they probably wish they made the deal that they had on the table before they tried to renegotiate it,” Trump said at a joint press conference in Tokyo Monday alongside Japanese leader Shinzo Abe.

"They would like to make a deal. We’re not ready to make a deal.”

Trump said American tariffs on Chinese goods "could go up very, very substantially, very easily.” His comments came after trade talks between the two countries stalled earlier this month. Each side has since blamed the other, and Trump has threatened billions more in tariffs.

Still, Trump also expressed optimism that the world’s biggest economies would eventually reach an agreement.

"I think sometime in the future China and the United States will absolutely have a great trade deal, and we look forward to that,” Trump said.

Xi should have taken the deal! Now, he has to face Negan, and it ain't going to be good! Xi should not have display hegemony so early on like South China Sea, Taiwan invasion, Made in China 2035 and so forth! I think Xi made grave misteps!

At this point, Xi can forget about his grand ambition! Especially after US election if Donald get his 2nd term!

Hide your strength! Bide your time! Never take the lead! Wisdom of Chairman Deng is the best remedy!

I find that anything that US lose to China Trump will try to wrestle back.
Like now,
1) China huge trade surplus over US - Trump fight back by imposing tariff
2) China leading 5G tech - Trump fight back by destroying Hua Wei
So, anything else that US lose to China? Because I predict Trump will target it next.

Well, eventually the ranks of CCP may ask for Xi retirement if he fail! It's the whole China at stake here! Going back to Deng philosophy will be the safest bet! You fight! Hide your strenght! Bide you time! Never take the lead! Wait until US collapse before striking! You don't fight when the big bully is at his strongest! Like i said, Xi may committed few grave missteps!
