People have been saying this for months now.  They thought China would immediately capitulate...yet here we are.  They have shown no indication of backing down.

That's true but think of it this way. Trump has indicated he wants re-election, Trump cares about himself a lot. Even if he wants to fight China, why not have a truce now, have a good economy going into 2020, fight again in the 2nd term when he doesnt need re-election anymore. That's my hope anyway.
