Trump made a lot of promises on the trade issues we face this is his attempt to get china to the table to talk, we made the opening move now china has countered at this point we have to stand firm. China has run roughshod over us for decades it is past time we review the arrangement.

What I found interesting is the proposed Chinese strategy of targeting Trump's base. I don't think that it will work and only galvanize them to further support their choice. If they really wanted to make a more serious impact they'd go after industries or states that would impact more moderate voters. This may end up backfiring on them politically.

A trade war with China will bring the market down. The dollar is already at risk; how much inflation are you willing to risk?
Perhaps it's time to trade in your USD for Yuan or even [gasp] Euros.
And what if Trumps arrogance prompts China to call in its markers it has on the US....Trump isn't sitting in a position of strength, China is...
More than 4.5 million vehicles were sold in China in the first two months of the year, up 1.7% compared with the same period in 2017, the government-backed China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Friday.

China has their own issues, its silly to think we have no leverage in this case.
Defaulting on the debt, thats not what I would really call leverage.
More like a dead mans switch / doomsday machine.
