A couple of articles this morning:

Trump “is onto something here,” said Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, a think tank. “I mean, there is a serious belief that China, about to become the world’s largest economy, does not provide market access to Western firms that would be in any way reciprocal, is engaged in wholesale stealing of intellectual property of American companies.”

“And there are a lot of major American multinationals that think that they don’t have long-term plans that are sustainable in China,” Bremmer said.

Bremmer argued that most important isn’t whether trade talks progress in the next few weeks, but rather if a substantive strategy can be created.

Now, this is from yahoo news, most definitely not a pro-Trump organization.  The article comes from Bloomberg, also not pro-Trump.

 

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump is succeeding in making China pay most of the cost of his trade war.

That’s the conclusion of a new paper from EconPol Europe, a network of researchers in the European Union. U.S. companies and consumers will only pay 4.5 percent more after the nation imposed 25 percent tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods, and the other 20.5 percent toll will fall on Chinese producers, according to authors Benedikt Zoller-Rydzek and Gabriel Felbermayr.

“Through its strategic choice of Chinese products, the U.S. government was not only able to minimize the negative effects on U.S. consumers and firms, but also to create substantial net welfare gains in the U.S.,” the researchers wrote.

As much as I hate tariffs, how else do we get China's attention?  Brings back the old saying - that if you want to get a mule's attention, you need to hit it over the head with a 2x4.
