On Friday 11 November, President Trump was jubilant about the partial trade deal with China.
He tweeted - (it is) as a major achievement and the best deal US farmers have ever secured. WOW, the Farmers really hit pay dirt,"
The following day, China said - not yet, we need more talks to clarify the terms of the deal before we sign the agreement.
Why did China take this stand?
I see two reasons.
First, China knows that Trump is desperate to have a trade agreement to present to the American voters.
Second, China is wary about Trump's erratic and unpredictable behavior. What is to stop him from implementing new demands at any time?
I believe that China wants to make sure that the partial trade deal will mean - no new demands.
