They call him a “trade war”, but he is not sure that this is. Other analysts argue that they are … negotiation bluffs Donald Trump. Developments, however, over the last 24 hours, especially in terms of US trade with China, confirm one and only – for the present – analysis: that it is a – at an endlessly dangerous – lot of chess.

Following the announcements, reinforcements and movements on both sides, Washington and Beijing seem to enter the next level. After “teeth rubbing” each other, imposing … unreal duties by the US and direct reactions from China, Beijing comes with a new proposal, which overturns everything that has played in this theater of the absurd.

Chinese officials, apparently with the approval of his government Si Jingthey call on Donald Trump to “completely cancel” mutual duties. This proposal appears to be on the same line as the debate that has been opened between the US and the European Union. Certainly, however, he adds another move to the chessboard of the trade dispute that has erupted worldwide, with Trump in any case the most vague factor, as the US president’s ultimate goal has not yet been clarified.

The 90 -day pause and 145% in China

In the past few days, Trump announced a 90 -day pause for a series of duties he had planned, but increased these taxes to 145%of Chinese imports.

“We urge the US to take a big step to correct their mistakes, completely cancel the wrong practice of” mutual duties “and return to the right path of mutual respect,” the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said in a statement. “

The Trump government took a step back -at least so interpreted- Excluding Fridays from duties certain technology productsincluding many produced in China.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Sunday described the exceptions as a “small step” from the US and said Beijing is “evaluating the impact” of movement.

The situation is complicated and many argue that a Donald Trump with Si Jing is necessary.

US Commercial Representative Jameson Green was asked during his appearance on the CBS show, face the nation, if there were plans for Trump’s direct contact with his Chinese counterpart. “At the moment we have no plan for that,” Green said.

Trump at the beginning of the month imposed a 54% duty on imports from China, before escalating at a rate of 145%.

In its own duties, China has imposed 34% contributions on products of USAthen 84%, and the last retaliation factor of 125%entered into force on Saturday.

Announcing its latest duties, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said last week that it would “fight to the end” if the US “insists on causing a tariff war or trade war”.

THE White House He has argued that he is using duties as a negotiating tactic to extract more favorable commercial terms from other countries. Trump has said that his policy will repair the injustice to the world trade system, as well as bring jobs and factories back to the US.

A plan that comes into a complete conflict with the meaning of the globalized, the “open” economy. While Trump applies his own tactics, hosts around the world are sinking, trillions are lost and companies are trying to keep in this uncertain environment.
