(MENAFN<\/a>– Asia Times)
\nI have a bad feeling about the US-China trade negotiations. One gets the impression President Donald Trump is so keen for a deal that he’s walking into trouble.<\/p>\n

One thing China is playing him on is soybeans. Trump has called for a 4x increase in Chinese purchases of US soybeans. However, the Chinese aren’t buying and instead are buying soybeans from the Brazilians, who, according to reports, can meet China’s entire demand.<\/p>\n

But I’ll bet Beijing eventually\u201cconcedes\u201d on soybeans and agrees to buy a lot of American ones.<\/p>\n

One trade expert told me:\u201cI am reasonably confident that \u2013 thanks to that other export to us, Salt Typhoon (PRC government-backed hackers) \u2013 the Chinese knew the administration would make this ‘demand;’ Beijing might have even ‘incepted’ the idea and then spun up the soybean industry to lobby for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chinese trade warfare has indeed successfully influenced US soy farmers so that they are literally and psychologically totally dependent on China.<\/p>\n
