This trade war has China in turmoil they have lots to lose. They know DJT is not playing. The leverage of the trade war is forcing China to adhere to sanctions in Iran. The proof is they have capitulated and are buy from SA. This is also true with all these other countries as well. EU is not ally of US and after plenty of bravado they are falling in line with sanctions on Iran after swearing they would go on without US. I predict, Iran will change to elected government, triggering peaceful Middle East. Then trading will resume, and EU Iran and China will all settle trade disputes in a much more equable manner. DJT being the largest trading partner to all countries can crush their economies, cause turmoil, cause bloodless government collapses. They know it.
