In part because the chinese did respond to our last hike in tariffs. A spokesman for Chinas Ministry of commerce quoted as saying that escalations of a trade war wont benefit anyone two sides still planning to meet in september of course, much of this rhetoric or communication is what weve been seeing for some time. I dont think any of it necessarily means the chinese are not still in a stance that sort of has them backing off from full engagement that somehow would lead to a deal in the near term.

Were in phase two or part two or whatever part two, and its going to go into part three which is a long Public Outreach and Engagement Process that will then evolve into what the document will ultimately get published as.
