I think the title is simply incorrect. This isn't a game of chicken. In reality the Chinese government was ready for Trump's tariffs because he played the tariff card the last time he was in office. They have a lot of strong tools at their disposal, and they will use those as they need to.

It's somewhat ridiculous for Americans to say that China needs to make a deal when Trump is the one who created the recent problem. If you want to talk about trade imbalances, we can talk about trade imbalances, but massive tariffs that escalate overnight have nothing to do with reasonable international negotiation.

Actually the article has good information in it, but the title itself is meh.

This is why you don't elect a FUCKING REALITY SHOW ACTOR AS PRESIDENT.

Business leaders urge talks, but neither leader wants to appear weak.

Trump already backtracked on tariffs for most of the world and the timing makes it look like the severity of China's retaliation is the reason. He already looks weak.

And China will not blink first, because at the end of the day it’s running a command economy. This is like having a stare down with a bullet train while standing on the tracks.

This is awful for the global economy and it’s definitely looking more and more like these tariff tantrums from the US is just a dying empire desperately trying to fight against its eventual demise. China has already overtaken the US in many areas and it is really showing.

China can pursue trade deals elsewhere, especially since the US is leaving a trade void by being so unreliable. Nobody trusts the US, nor should they considering they started it. It's pretty clear who's at a bigger disadvantage.

China won't flinch, they're already working with the EU to bring down tariffs on EVs, and for the first time ever, with Japan and South Korea for trade stuff. The EV tariff setup was a deal we (the US) brokered with the EU originally to starve China out of the market so they didn't become a dominant force in transportation. Now China will be the dominant force on Earth while the US becomes an underfunded backwater country with last-place in everything. Chinese products are already predominant in most countries on the entire planet.

We handed them the solution to the problem they dug themselves into while we starve ourselves out.

It's pretty obvious who will win. One is ruled by a dictator. The other by someone who wishes he was a dictator.

The last one was just a grifter move to funnel more cash to his billionaire buddies.

This time, it’s more strategic — the goal is to weaken China. The alliance between Russia, Iran, and China is built on a shared opposition to the U.S. and Western democracy. But Trump’s return throws a wrench into that dynamic.

Putin sees an opportunity: Isolate and economically hurt China, and improve Russias own leverage on the global stage — all while using Trump as a tool once again.

But who will fart first?

I don't feel good about the group of amateurs trump has surround himself with. They will be eaten alive by anyone with actual economic and trade strategies
