China agrees to import more from U.S.

We already sell all of our energy and farm products to somebody ... the Chinese will buy more of them, but we'll then sell fewer of them to others. The trade deficit with China will decrease, but the overall trade deficit will remain the same.

PR stunt.

Hardly. We now know that under pressure, China blinks. This is huge. The only way to deal with China is to stand firm and put as much pressure or the threat of retaliatory tariffs. Appeasement and spineless rhetoric wouldn’t have solved this or even moved this.

Trump to Chinese president "Just announce to the press that you are going to buy more US stuff. You don't really have to do it."

A $500,000 bribe and a handful of empty promises that Don-the-Con can use to promote his negotiating skills among his idiotic base. That's all it takes to handle the grifter and con-man in the Oval Office and his need for tweet-fodder.

Quick work and less than pocket change for the Chinese regime.

China has survived for 5000 years. They are not stupid. Trump will lose.

China announced they will buy more stuff. No mention what that stuff will be or how much, just more stuff.

So we will have to see how it plays out. China might have just averted sanctions and gotten more help for ZTE with a vague, unbinding statement.

So you were there on the talks??? Had NO idea. ROFL!

Yeah, so back to reality, this was a masterpiece work done by the President, the art of the deal. Got China to blink, astounding.

The Trump clowns hilarious as their Leader 'got China to blink'. That China got US farmers to blink is no news. The Chinese think on the long term as Americans go for the Q 3 results. Let's see how the situation will be 2 yrs from now :)
