** 05-Sep-2019 World View: Winning the trade war?
What does "winning" mean? Here's what we know: China won't give up
cheating and extortion at trade, and stealing intellectual property.
Trump won't agree to a trade deal unless China gives up those things.
There's no chance that either side will back down.
China is now planning for a new US president in 2020, so that things
will return to "normal" -- i.e., China could continue cheating and
extortion at trade, and stealing intellectual property with impunity,
since the new president will just go along, like Obama, Bush, Clinton,
and Bush. However, most Democrats (like Chuck Shumer) have encouraged
Trump, and I doubt that a different president could say, "OK, China,
go ahead with cheating, extorting and stealing. It's fine with me."
So China and the US are at a total impasse that can only be resolved
by war.
So who's winning the trade war?
