US versus China: a test of strength

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : But at a time when they've hit the EU with 15 per cent tariffs, Taiwan 20 per cent Japan, South Korea, I think all 15 per cent, there must be part of them that's thinking, well, if China can show America that this kind of thing doesn't work very well and is bad for everybody, maybe that's good.
47% : It's gonna take a long-term effort and a lot of US diplomatic engagement to get this done, but there's no time like the present to start that effort.
45% : This week's podcast is about China, America and international trade.
38% : Gideon Rachman Which given the size of the US deficit, I mean, how much of a dent does that make in the deficit? Michael Froman Those who thought it could substitute for income tax or pay-off for the $2tn tax cut that was passed earlier this year, it's only a small downpayment towards that, but it's not insignificant at $300bn a year for as long as that lasts.
