The trade war between US and China is neither beneficial for both countries as this powerful economic development countries are at loggerheads to win which has much influenced to the world economy situations .At the end of the scenario , we expect Trump to tame down and for further consultations to respect decisions not based on his personal accord , but the overall economic situation that neither both countries would come to terms to a new approach that not just a win win solutions to curb abhorrent tariff charges.

Finally, Trump comes to his senses. His relatives and his cronies must have bought enough stocks at low prics in the last one month. Both will shake hands and hug each other.China will buy more oils,soya beans,beef and Boeing while Trump will stop banning Huawei.

Dotard Trump begged for a meeting and Emperor Xi granted him an audience.

U R right.

Election is coming and DT has to do damage control before the election.

Will anybody still believe in anything they sign with DT?

He could tear the whole agreement and start complaining again.

A gangster with no morale acting only according to his wild whims.

This is not about trade war per se.
Trump wants to control China rise as a super power.

Today interesting day. DT gives positive news after Europe promised a stimulus plan.

Tonight US Fed will give clue on interest rate or even do a rate cut straight away but unlikely as DT is positive on a deal.

All will send stocks to the roof.

U r quite right. Trade war is a facade; many motives behind. Knowing DT's history dealing in his business u will roughly get more clues.

Trump comes to his senses ???
I am doubtful.

Strange. China has no response.

China wants Taiwan actually using Hong Kong as a bait.

But Hong Kong has nothing to do with trade war.

China flew 2 fighter jets passed Taiwan border back in April. The last crossover was like around 60 years ago.

Japan then, ...
The Reagan administration regarded Japan as the biggest economic threat to the US. Washington accused Tokyo of state-sponsored industrial policies, intellectual property theft from US companies, and of dumping products on the American market.

The Plaza Accord was forced on Japan. Besides pushing up JPY agst USD which made Japanese products expensive in US, It also forced Japan to sign deals to share its semiconductor technologies and increase its purchases of US semiconductor products.

Trump is using the same tactic as Reagan. With gap between US n China too wide to bridge, I do not think anything concrete will come of the meeting.
