They're hoping for a democratic administration in 2020 to negotiate with.
- toasterlovin 7y agoAnother year and a half is a long time to make your people suffer. And a lot of the supply chains that moved out of China might not come back. Waiting is a hell of a gamble.
- mfatica 7y agoI'm not sure a year and a half of unfavorable trade means much to a dictator who declares themself dictator for life, imprisons millions of citizens in re-education camps and engages in mass censorship.
- toasterlovin 7y agoGood thing the Chinese people have no history of violently overthrowing their rulers.

- duxup 7y agoI'm not convinced that in pushing the issue further.... that they're going to get someone friendly, possibly the opposite. Trump, if anything, may have shown you can call out China and do things and ... the sky doesn't fall. I don't doubt that it is possible that China's leadership feels something will change, I'm not so sure they get what they want.
