China thinks long term and their government doesn't have to worry about elections.

There's no reason for them to grovel for short term concessions like democracies have to, they can just wait trump out.

Even better, companies from other countries that used to buy Chinese goods from American resellers, are now just buying direct from China to avoid tareifs nonsense.

Long after this is really over, American resellers can't compete with buying direct.

Like, I wonder why trump thought all these billion dollars global corporations kept bending the knee to China in the first place....

You can already see the severed trade networks start to heal circumventing the US. This is going to be brexit x 100

Good idea to steer clear of TACO man then.

Chinese diplomats tend to avoid putting their leader in unpredictable and potentially embarrassing situations.
