China has found the fatal weakness of Trump: his obsession with the stock market.
In the trade conflict with the United States, China has found the fatal weakness of Trump: his obsession with the stock market.
People close to China's decision-making level revealed that Chinese leader Xi Jinping bet that the U.S. economy cannot withstand the protracted trade conflict with the Chinese economy. The reason why China adheres to a tough stance is because it firmly believes that the escalating trade war will lead to the collapse of the U.S. market.
China expects that the prospect of another market crash will eventually force Trump to negotiate at a summit with Xi Jinping later this month.
Trump often treats the U.S. stock market as a real-time barometer to measure his ability to manage the economy, which also makes Chinese officials see its weaknesses.
