    Exclusive: U.S. waters down demand China ax subsidies in push for trade deal - sources

    WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. negotiators have tempered demands that China curb industrial subsidies as a condition for a trade deal after strong resistance from Beijing, according to two sources briefed on discussions, marking a retreat on a core U.S. objective for the trade talks.

    china is not gonna stop its subsidies, especially when we are doing the same for many US industry. That been said, if they start buy more US product and enforce IP protection, its still a win for trump. not a big fan of trump but a win is a win

    If you were Trump and were walking back another one, would you source it? :)
    Sounds like another NAFTA 2.0.

    No, of course not.
    I'm saying none of Trump's people would fess up to being the source because it points to another Trump failure.

    These companies can't survive without those subsidies, they are not profitable. Being inflexible on this issue would be unreasonable.

    Who are the sources? Do these sources actually have access to the info they are claiming? Do we actually know if it's true?

    How are we to evaluate info if we have no context by with to judge it?

    It's kind of like how you believe Trump when he says "many people tell me ______." :)

    But in this case we can just wait. Want me to tag it for you?

    1- It's from Reuters.
    2- It has 2 sources.

    If for example it was from Breitbart, and said a source said, I would ignore it.

    You think Reuters made it up because it was a slow news day?

    China has a $350 billion trade surplus with the US

    Since we dont want more government subsidies to US companies must push china to give up theirs

    Actually they do it just to get the Trump lemmings to follow Spanky off the cliff.
    But it's okay we can come back to it when it comes true.
    Meanwhile take two aspirin and wear this:

    We should stop on oil and milk and start on some high tech stuff like they are.
    They are kicking our ass because we are crawling into our shell.

    Free market capitalism only works when both sides are playing by the same rules

    In the case of china they are breaking all the rules in their drive to the topp

    Are you sure?
    We have subsidies. Why don't we just do some more better ones?
    We could probably do it with the same money we are charging our citizens in tariffs. Then we would get something for the money instead of just making stuff more expensive.
