The US continues to demand China unconditional surrender and along with their relationship with Russia. It appears a trade truce extension was agreed but Trump doesn’t want to sign it. Guess we will find out on when the truce expires on Aug 12 and the Russians predictably reject the ultimatum for the unconditional surrender on Aug 13.

A potential extension of a tariff pause between the United States and China will not be agreed to until President Donald Trump signs off on the plan, U.S. negotiators said Tuesday.

Trump “has final say on all the trade deals” and the pending tariff truce, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC’s Eamon Javers.

I believe the Chinese government is smart enough to not have allowed US firms to stock up on rare earths doing the truce. If the truce breaks, the rare earths pain should be immediate.

China was ready to sign the CAI with EU. The failure of it is EU's fault 100%. After that, China no longer has any illusions about EU whatsoever.

The Trump regime can keep dreaming. China already reduced energy import from the US to almost zero, in stark contrast with EU.

I doubt the US will grow 1.9% in 2025.

America is really out of ideas on China. The only thing Trump and Bessent know how to do is use tariffs to kill off the international USD-based financial system hoping for no real reason that it would somehow hurt China more than the US. And if the tariffs didn't work except to tank the US economy, oh, that just means we didn't put enough tariffs! LOL Reminds me of a Simpson's episode where a biker gang didn't know how to do laundry so they lamented, "We've tried everything but the stains won't come out! We tried hitting them, yelling at them, even hitting them some more!"
