川普雖狂，也是講道理的、重程序的。突然宣佈懲罰性關稅制裁中國，原因是習近平對談好的協議在最後出爾反爾，因為要保住他的小熊面子⋯⋯

這種國家連跟美國談判都敢翻臉不認，台灣人還在信中國國民黨徒大力鼓吹的和平協議？醒醒吧！

彭博記者Jenny Leonard帶頭把川普突然加關稅的脈絡寫出來了，基本上就是中方答應好的事突然又在這一回合出爾反爾，主要是將結束不公平技術轉移的條件形之於中國法律、並寫入談判結果中(以可以定期考核)。

結合南華早報江澤民派的爆料，這一條的出爾反爾是習大大欽點的，「習大大說這條不準放，責任我習某人全負」，劉鶴只能硬著頭皮回報他的談判對口萊特希澤。萊特希澤立刻回報給川普，華盛頓鷹派全氣pupu炸了鍋，畢竟這一條是之前雙方談判多次的重要合意結果，結果中方又繼續搞翻臉不認帳加上中国太極拳……

於是川普就決定立刻再加一批關稅，清楚傳達他的意思給習大大參考一下。

Trump Threatened Tariffs After Hearing of Chinese Reversal, Sources Say

Donald Trump’s top trade negotiator told him that Beijing was back-tracking on a trade deal following a round of talks last week, angering the president and leading him to threaten on Sunday to raise tariffs on Chinese goods, according to people familiar with the matter.

In talks last week in Beijing, Chinese officials told their U.S. counterparts they would not agree to a trade deal that required changes to Chinese law, the people said. China had previously agreed to change its laws in the text of the deal, they said.

The change has major implications for provisions of the deal aimed at ending a Chinese practice of forcing U.S. companies seeking to do business in the country to reveal proprietary technologies and other intellectual property.

The U.S. side, led by Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, thought that issues around what’s known as forced technology transfer were resolved and considered the Chinese position on changing its laws to be an attempt to renegotiate, the people said. Lighthizer was angered by the move and briefed Trump.

The president then issued a pair of tweets on Sunday criticizing China and threatening to raise tariffs on about $200 billion in goods to 25 percent from 10 percent.

The people familiar with the matter asked not to be identified because the China trade talks are sensitive and have been conducted in secrecy. But official readouts last week from the U.S. and Chinese governments that depicted the latest round of talks in Beijing as productive were overstated, the people said.
Trump’s trade negotiators weren’t particularly surprised by his tweets, the people said. The White House didn’t immediately comment.

A new round of trade talks are expected this week in Washington, but it is unclear whether the Chinese government will send top officials following Trump’s tweets. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said on Monday that a delegation would still travel to Washington but would not say when.

Global equities tumbled and Treasury futures climbed following the tweets, which set back investor confidence the U.S. and China would soon resolve their trade war.

The S&P 500 Index fell as much as 1.6 percent on Monday before paring losses. The tweets did considerably more damage in China, where the Shanghai Composite Index sunk 5.6 percent on Monday for its steepest drop in three years, even after state-backed funds were said to step in to cushion the blow.
