The Taliban told him to take a hike.' Anonymous
The Taliban said no to gangster Trump!
When Trump stopped Nvidia from selling chips to China, Xi could not do a thing.
When Trump stopped ASML from selling EUV machine to China, again Xi could not do a thing.
And when Trump stop American companies from selling chips to Huawei, Huawei's mobile phone business almost collapsed, and again Xi could not do a thing. Chinese companies that needed Nvidia chips, companies that needed EUV machine were caught with their pants down, many operations had to be halted as a result. This is how powerful Trump is and how he used his power to manage and control China.
Trump is now throwing his weight around, telling China he wants to buy TikTok, and China must sell. Even before the paper is inked, Trump is already gloating and crowing about how he pressured Xi to sell TikTok, and Washington is bragging about Xi caving in. Trump is the all powerful Emperor. Whatever he wants, even Xi cannot say no. But the Taliban can.
Why don't Xi, after being slapped by Trump so often, so many times, take this opportunity to return a tight slap to Trump, to make him look as bad as he did to Xi in the eyes of the Americans, by saying no to the sale of TikTok? Or is Xi still thinking that Trump and the Americans are very nice people and would not harm China anymore if he agrees to sell TikTok, and China and US will be friends again? Would anyone trust Trump and the evil Americans?
The few episodes mentioned above made Xi looked very bad. Trump is sitting on him and he can only say yes, not no. This kind of one sided relationship, with Trump calling the shot, is bad for China and for Xi.
Would China come up with all the lame excuses like Ah Q and sell TikTok to Trump to make Trump happy because Trump called Xi a good friend...and Xi cannot do anything under pressure from Trump but to say yes?

Has Xi agreed?
Trump blocks Nvidia's chips sale to China earlier, so China blocks Nvidia sales in China later, telling Chinese manufacturing not to accept H20 chips totaling several US$ billions in value.

Jerry's take on China Trade Talks, Tik Tok and Rare Earths
If Tik Tok is already agreed and a done deal, why need another 90 days grace according to Jerry.
It is not as if Byte Dance is selling the whole Global Tik Tok operation to the USA. Only the operations in the USA is on the table.
All the deals that Trump touted about are just bogus grandstanding, nothing realistic.
When Trump banned Nvdia chips and EUV from China, he did not care about profit or business interests. He was out to make China suffer. Why would Xi care about losing money or business and sell TikTok to Trump? Why shouldn't Xi hit back at Trump to make him feel the pain?
