"If Pres Trump has destroyed China, then why does Pres Trump say that he is talking with Pres Xi, and Pres Xi is saying that there have been no such discussions between the US and China on tariffs?"
Because the Chinese, per usual, are lying as they know braindead liberals will just run with their talking points. Why does China report robust GDP growth despite their tax receipts falling? - because they lie.
"Also, when Pres Trump was asked by the press, multiple times, when he talked to Pres Xi"
If you think US trade negotiators are not meeting with Chinese trade negotiators, you are not worth discussing this topic with further. BOTH SIDES - don't want to appear weak. In the case of Xi, he is facing internal unrest which could topple the CCP or his control of it - and people that lose control in China don't just slip into retirement - they wind up in jail or dead. He has a lot more on the line in maintaining his public image.
"China's Pres Xi is ghosting Pres Trump. Pres Xi seems to be playing the long game, as opposed to Pres Trump's short-term, transactional game."
Xi is folding like a cheap suit - he is exempting products across industries because they are essential goods for China and as I pointed out before, their alternative is not eating and not having electricity. Worse, due to the US not taking Chinese exports, they have been re-routed for internal consumptions setting off deflation in the country.
"If, as your current alias seems to assert, Pres Trump's position is so strong, why does he seem to be lying about things surrounding that position?
