China will continue to cut its tariffs and expand imports of high-quality goods and services, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday

I think he mixed up his speech because in the last few months China has levied Tariffs on an expanding number of Australian goods, even though we have a free trade agreement with China. Thursday, the day he made this erroneous speech, China has blocked timber imports from Victoria (The one state that signed up to Beijing's B&R project). China can not be trusted in trade deals.

Boycott China.

Tricking foreign investors into larger frauds. Nothing is surprising here.

Looking forward to the end of the China-USA trade war, once sanity returns to DC.
