US/China Trade War

It was somewhere, but I cannot remember where, that I read that Donald Trump has a unique strategy when he has to negotiate a deal.

It seems that be begins by coming down really hard on his opponent. Put simply he whacks his opponent into plaintive submission. 

Then he lifts the poor guy up, cleans the dust off his trousers and the lapels of his coat, offers him a seat and a drink and words of comfort.

Now his opponent owes him.

Now he dictates his real terms that seem to be so reasonable.

He has won his negotiations.

Now, whether you can do this with a civilization-nation of some 5000 year history, I do not know. In its history and annals it will have the records of all the history of negotiations with different adversaries.

Is the Trump strategy the only one they have ever encountered. Does their annals and histories have records that can tell the Current Chink-in-Chief, CCinC a way to riposte Trunk successfully?

If they have, then I am absolutely sure the CCinC will use it. If it worked in the past, it will reprise its success and Donald will find himself in trouble.

Of course there will be NO TRADE WAR But if The Donald is determined to do TRADE WAR, China has 3+ trillion in US treasury bills. They tell me China can do some massive damage to the US economy with this if Donald does push China into the corner.

Just like Bush's lies of Weapons of Mass Destruction, there are also Donald's lies at demonizing China.
