trump’s position on one-China failed, and he didn’t triple down on his failure like he usually does. I’d rather he be a not-very-good negotiator who can adjust to reality than a hard-nosed negotiator who will follow a failed ploy into a trade war or much worse.
It shows he can back down when he needs to, that he can adjust, and I see that as a good sign. I just hope (although I’m not all that optimistic) that this example of making a reasonable adjustment when things don’t go his way is not an isolated incident.
