2 w. ago The Guardian view on Trump and China: stepping back from the brink, but not solving problems | Editorial

Though the US president’s meeting with Xi Jinping appears to have staved off a global trade war, this is far from a win for WashingtonThe diverging verdicts offered by the Chinese and American leaders after their talks in South Korea on Thursday reflected more than the chasms between their personal styles and political cultures.
