White House Considers Slashing China Tariffs to De-Escalate Trade War
It is of course China that have been humiliated. They've been hit with the biggest stick and whilst the others got a 90 day lollilop China got another beating. Yet China has to crawl to the negotiation table and smile and play nice to try and retain any of the big slice of cake the US have been giving them previously. Trump exposted China's hubris and showed the world that actually China's success depende on the US. The Chinese know their economy is in deep trouble, and if you read the comments on Chinese social media many are deeply concerned about the effect the tariffs will have on China's economy. It must be a major hit to the inflated Chinese ego to realise that they can easily be hit with a big stick, their cake can be easily taken away, and then they have to go sit at the table and smile to ask for some of the cake back. No wonder the Chinese don't want to admit they're talking to the guy who slapped them about sideways. However, it's clear what is happening, isn't it, Trump sent out his special envoys to talk to Chinese parties, without the actual formal negotiations about the tariffs being in place. That's why the Chinese propaganda machine told its spokesman to say there are no negotiations. Strictly speaking of course that's the case, there are no formal or official negotiations. Yet. There are informal talks about who should negotiate with whom where about what. The Chinese are on record as having demanded that the US put in place negotiators authorised to negotiate a deal, and US officials are on record for saying to NBC they are in talks with Chinese officials. So it is clear as daylight that China and the US are talking, how could it be otherwise. Anyone who claims that's not the case and takes some Chinese spokesman's word at face value has a bit to learn about how the world actually works. -

Xi Jinping is not satisfied with winning the trade war
Vance’s reference to China’s workers as “peasants” has transcended any PLA rhetoric. Whatever divisions existed are gone—now the population is united against Trump. Just like the 51st State, Canada, and most of the world, they’ve all had enough of the 'buffoon'. -

Makes foreign US exports cheaper too. Again, I'm no economist, but there are contradictory things going on in economics. Same with interest rates, which Trump is at odds with the Federal Reserve. But there are pros and cons of high vs low interest rates. Let me know when you finish your Phd in Economics, because it seems rather complex to me. -

Report Staggering 80% of Thai Army Conscripts Battling Drug Addiction
No mention of any long term success,they openly sell and use drugs, and I suggest the added stress of military service doesn't help addiction, in fact could make it worse. -
