For fans of the China omnishambles tariff thread, the article: This is not a deal. The US blinked. The lesson for China: US escalation cannot be maintained. For the US: we will still see inflation and the chance of recession. For the world: the end of US credibility. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | The U.S.-China ‘deal’ is no deal. The U.S. just blinked.
The American economy is far from out of the woods, and the negotiations have revealed the weakness of U.S. threats.
