The Tariffs paid to the USA have had little impact on product cost, mostly borne by China. The Trade Deal with China continues, but too slowly, as they attempt to renegotiate. No!
But Trump’s tweeted broadsides indicate that he’s not optimistic about the next round of talks. Although China has agreed in theory to increase imports of a range of U.S. products, few expect Beijing to make deeper concessions.
Critics of the Trump administration point to an omission that is perhaps even more glaring: Human rights, specifically, the rights of millions of ethnic minorities in the far western region of Xinjiang caught in the Orwellian vice of the Chinese security state. Trump's quest for a trade deal with China shouldn't mean abandoning the one million Uighur Muslims in detention for refusing to renounce Islam, but that seems to be what the Great Negotiator is doing. https://t.co/a94W0gC8BE
