Negotiations do not work because Communist China always just plays the long game and tries to stall you out, all the while continuing to steal or otherwise sabotage / subverge the established situation. Biden has said he’ll review the tariffs but hasn’t specified a plan. But what is there to review when the tariffs and sanctions are already clearly working?
Biden is a career politician, and I tend to take everything career politicians say with a grain of salt. I'd much rather believe in concrete action that has proven to be effective.
