China's proposed response to President Trump's proposed tariffs caused another panic on Wall Street this morning. It quickly subsided on continued good economic news. (Here, here and here.)
Wherever you are on the question of tariffs, the thought occurred to me this morning that Beijing has one huge advantage over us.
Xi Jinping, China's new president for life, doesn't have to worry about "fake news" or biased media coverage. Nor does he have to worry about skittish corporate bosses.
Xi will do whatever he thinks is best for China without any fear of pressure.
Meanwhile, our media and our corporate elites are constantly bashing Donald Trump simply because he is putting America first and trying to use our leverage to get a better deal from China for American workers and businesses.
