SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters Breakingviews) – Donald Trump started the trade war with China, but the broader fight between Washington and Beijing will outlast him. That’s one of the main takeaways from “Superpower Showdown”. The book reminds readers that U.S. anger at the People’s Republic predates the current occupant of the White House. Much of the very public tariff row is familiar. But miscalculations on both sides are a sober warning for future policymakers.
Authors Bob Davis and Lingling Wei provided some of the best real-time reporting about the trade battles for the Wall Street Journal. That makes it harder for them to break new ground about Trump’s tariff one-upmanship against Chinese President Xi Jinping. The former reality TV star also provided a running commentary about the ups and downs of the talks on Twitter.
Still, the book provides some insights on negotiating tactics.

Xi also asked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe about his rounds of golf with Trump, which helped the two leaders develop a rapport.

Similarly, the reports do not include Taliban claims for their attacks on the government unless they can be verified. Both sides routinely inflate casualty totals for their opponents.
