The China communist government is reeling again, not just
from Trump challenge at the WPS/SCS but this time at his announcement yesterday of 25% tariff on $200 B of China exports starting this Friday. The CN economic bubble will burst big time?

of backtracking on trade deal

I was expecting that many Trump-haters would jump on this. NOT
because they have suddenly become free traders and zero tariff advocates, but because they
want to further pacify the CN Communist- protectionists. And they wish that
beloved Obama-Hillary team will do that continued pacification. Seems they were silent on this.
Only Trump can do this. His balls are a lot sturdier than
the balls of Obama, Biden, Sanders, etc combined. He challenged Russia, Saudi and OPEC who want high world oil prices by cutting their combined output, Trump deregulated US energy policies to help jack up US oil and gas
production. He challenged global ecological socialism by the UN and big environmentalists by pulling out of Paris Agreement. He challenged NATO countries that they should send their billions of $ yearly for their own
protection in Europe. Now he's directly confronting China communist
protectionists.
Yesterday, end-of-day stocks in AsPac, Shanghai -5.6%, Shenzhen
-6.8%.
Then the censorship and media blackout by the Beijing government.
China's Bull
Market Suddenly in Peril

"Posts and
stories about Trump’s twin pronouncements were deleted from Weibo, according to
Weiboscope, a project backed by the University of Hong Kong that tallies
deleted posts and censored words on the Twitter-like service. And several users
reported that attempts to post screenshots of the American leader’s tweets to
Tencent’s WeChat were blocked."
Trump challenged the EU countries to a zero tariff deal including agriculture, EU said no, showing how protectionist they can be. Trump challenged CN for mutually low if not zero tariff, CN said no naturally, so this trade challenge.
Ultimately we should go to a world of zero tariff, very little non-tariff barriers.
