So, once again, the President says he's making a deal with China.
And once again, China has no official response. Nope, no indication from them as to any deal being done.
I figured I would start this thread to track HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE WE HAVE A TRADE DEAL WITH CHINA, only to find out the next day that no such deal actually exists.
Mark this one down- 12-12-2019. Trump says "We have a deal". China says.....nothing.
Trump says DEAL!
"Mr. Trump on Thursday approved a so-called phase-one trade pact that will scale back existing tariffs on Chinese imports and eliminate new levies scheduled to take effect on Sunday, in exchange for a written pledge from Beijing to buy tens of billions of dollars worth of U.S. farm products, among other concessions.While Mr. Trump was “upbeat and enthusiastic about this breakthrough,” in the words of Michael Pillsbury, an adviser to the president during the trade talks, the mood in Beijing has been decidedly more sober.
None of China’s state-owned media outlets or economic agencies involved in the trade negotiations made any public statement during the day on Friday about the deal endorsed by Mr. Trump. After the markets closed in China, the State Council’s Information Office put out a notice about a press conference scheduled at 9:30 a.m. EST, in which senior Chinese officials are expected to discuss progress with the U.S.-China trade negotiations."

China says...(SILENT) NO DEAL:
