Trump needs to stop playing China’s tariff game – Washington Examiner
Trade wars are rarely good and never easy to win, but they’re a lot costlier and harder to win when we’re going against a country like China. The People’s Republic of China is an undemocratic state with a centrally planned economy run by the Communist Party.
