Of course China is playing hardball, heck I wouldn’t be surprised if they want to keep the Trump tariffs in place. Through his tariffs, inconsistency and idiocy Trump’s drastically weakening the USA’s power around the globe. Why would they want that to stop?
Sure China is losing money now, but they can see the end of the United States as a superpower on the horizon… and a world where China is the top superpower is worth a little pain now.
Oh, Trump doesn’t know the rules either. Rules imply structure, Trump governs by “Because I wanna!”
