Peter Zeihan (zeihan.com) has been posting to both his online newsletter and twitter regarding Chinese/U.S. trade. It seems that the Trump administration is contemplating imposing higher tariffs than before, for China being uncooperative.
I understand that Trump has thought of selling more stuff to China, but the Chinese seem to want a one sided relationship. So in that respect I don't think that Trump will get what he wants.
On the other hand, I don't think that the Chinese grasp how little support for globalization now exists in America. Think about it-many Americans dislike Trump, but there has no big uproar regarding tariffs.
