Can you imagine China waiting just 3 days before responding at all?

They just keep pretending that nobody is even thinking about tariffs. Like a reporter asking a Chinese spokesman if there are plans to lower Chinese tariffs gets a meaningless 10 minute platitude about "strengthening trade links with our partners through synergy" When american officials ask the Chinese officials they start talking about bring an end to the wars in ukraine and Palestine or removing sanctions on Cuba and DPRK.
