Who will blink first?

Xi, who controls a country and economy that he can manuever and maipulate such that it would be years before there was any real blowback to him for a trade war?

Or Trump, whose entire claim to greatness is a stock market which is in turn at the very least stalling basedon the trade war and which could easily derail his reelection bid next year?

While Xi has a bit more flexibility than Trump since China is in essence a dictatorship, he doesn't have hold all the cards. The Chinese economy is dependent on a continual influx of US dollars and will suffer when that slows down.

Yes, but it would be a long time before Xi has to worry about his hold on power. It could derail Trump's tenuous hold on power here in a few months.

Less than a year before Xi would be on the hot seat.

You do bring up a good point (albeit unintentionally) regarding our weakness in dealing with countries such as China, Russia and most any single party rule nation. For the most part they have time and can stay on task when it comes to foreign relations. We on the other-hand elect leaders that as soon as they are sworn in start campaigning for reelection, the opposition promises to change whatever the incumbent is doing and the incumbent cannot take the risk of short term pains to achieve long term goals. This is a problem with both sides of the isle, we no longer have a "loyal opposition" that wants what's best for the country but disagrees on the path getting us there. What we have is two parties ONLY concerned with obtaining and maintaining power.

Wishful thinking on your part we’re in a far better position than China is. You guys really crack me up there have been tariffs in place long before Trump came along, should we continue to hemmorage 500 billion a year to the chi-coms? Trump is the only president in the last 40 years to even challenge these bastards. We’ve rebuilt their cities and their military.. when is enough enough?

No one is saying there should not be trade reform. But how you go about it matters.

And lol, at the idiotic line -- spouted by Trump himself earlier today -- that there have been tariffs in place for some time. Of course there have -- but not 10 then 25 percent. And not escalating like this. Really kind of a dumbass thing to say.
