The Wall Street Journal wrote today (May 18th): "If there is anything that the Sino-US tariff drama has told us, it is how easily these two world powers can misjudge each other's strengths and weaknesses."
[Sharp Wit] Comment: China did not misjudge. Long before the US brandished its tariff stick, it had already seen through its intentions and calmly awaited the challenge, steadily waiting for the opportune moment to act. Then, who actually misjudged the situation? It was the US itself. Trump, Beasant, and others were overly confident, believing that with the power of the US, a single threat would make the entire world bow down.
