Stalled US-China Relations

The article details the strained communication between the US and China, primarily due to President Trump's reluctance to utilize intermediaries for negotiations on trade issues. He prefers direct engagement with President Xi Jinping, similar to his approach with President Putin, a strategy that China resists.

China's Distrust

China's distrust stems from concerns about being ambushed or humiliated in public by Trump, especially after the incident with President Zelensky. They seek a designated US official for negotiations, rather than informal channels.

Lack of Official Communication

The lack of official channels has hindered communication. While the White House claims contact, credible sources suggest this is limited. Several individuals, including John Thornton, have offered to mediate, but have been ignored by the White House. Even attempts by US lawmakers and business leaders have met with skepticism in Beijing.

Economic Consequences as Catalyst

The economic impact of tariffs could be the catalyst for renewed talks. The current stalemate resembles a dating scenario where both sides await the other to initiate contact.
