From United Press International
Oct. 17 (UPI) -- China said Thursday the Trump administration must lift all tariffs on its U.S.-bound exports if it wants to end the long-running trade dispute, but also indicated it's open to a partial deal.
Beijing's commerce ministry said the moves would be of mutual interest.
"The ultimate goal for the negotiations between the two sides is to end the trade war, cancel all additional tariffs," commerce minister Gao Feng said. "This is good for China, good for the U.S. and good for the whole world."
The United States agreed last week to postpone new punitive tariffs that would've taken effect on Tuesday.
COMMENT:-
For the cynical, that works out to "You can claim a victory over us on the condition that you give us everything that we ask for and we don't have to give you anything that you wanted.".
For the non-cynical, that works out to "You can claim a victory over us on the condition that you give us everything that we ask for and we don't have to give you anything that you wanted.".
For "Claque Trump", that works out to "President Trump has won the greatest trade war victory in the history of the United States of America.".
For Donald Trump, that works out to "See how easy it is to win a trade war! China has capitulated totally and unconditionally! I told you that I was the greatest and I am the greatest!.".
