Supposedly with some barbarian tribes, a diplomat has to beat some of them in open combat to earn their respect. A show of strength as it were.

I see now Takaichi was training Trump while he was in Japan; does the world's orangest new Maiko realize that Geisha flattery techniques aren't meant to be used by men? I was gonna say Xi should brush him off but it's honestly hard to be mean to someone kissing up to you like that; I don't know if I could do it.

People gambled $570,000 on the duration of the handshake.

I still remember how back in the 90s, western media mocked Chinese artillery on cargo ships as the US menaced China with Taiwan separatism. How the turn tables…
NYT's Nicholas Kristof: "I asked a large room full of international relations experts for a show of hands: Who thought the United States was winning the trade war, who believed China was winning and who thought it was too soon to tell? Overwhelmingly, people said China was"

Intragovernmental civil war between Democrat sympathetic ruling elites vs MAGA

Again, American century of humiliation will continue until these people are purged. Actual useless breathing meat that combined worth far less than an average construction worker in China.

Cool! Let's see how many warships would NATO likes to have them turned into coral reefs in the South China Sea, shall we?

As I believed. The Americans have no intentions of negotiating any trade deals.

“We have a deal. Now, every year we’ll renegotiate the deal, but I think the deal will go on for a long time.”

“It’s a one-year agreement, and we’ll extend it after a year,” he added.

10% tariff reduction for a year of rare earth is I’m disappointed despite not having any expectations.

Americans are too stupid to understand that this is a big trap by Xi.

In one year, China's IC efforts will significantly materialize (actual production).
In one year, Xi will come back and will simply say to Trump to bend down and give Taiwan lol

Boiling the frog moment

That's US' side. Let's see what happens with NVIDIA/export controls and BIS rule

I sure hope there's more to this, such major concessions for a mere 10% reduction in tariffs is an absolutely major buzzkill.

Could it be something as simple as "There are no export controls. We just choose not to sell to you, even though we are not barred from doing so"?
