Para los dos hombres al frente de una guerra comercial que ha empezado a resquebrajar los lazos entre las mayores economías del mundo, la pregunta ahora es quién parpadea primero. Por un lado está el presidente Donald Trump, quien desencadenó un plan disruptivo para transformar el sistema de comercio mundial moderno por medio de aranceles, solo para dar marcha atrás horas después de que entrara en vigor, cuando suspendió los gravámenes a la importación para todos los países excepto China.

HONG KONG — Un aumento drástico de aranceles, seguido de una enorme represalia. Blogueros nacionalistas chinos comparan los impuestos del presidente Donald Trump con una declaración de guerra. El Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores chino promete que Beijing "luchará hasta el final".

Good explanation by @ryanl_hass on why Trump can’t just hash it out with Xi over the phone. Chinese diplomacy is painfully scripted. The last person in the world Xi is going to engage with without guardrails is Trump.
1/ Secretary Lutnick’s message is important for setting expectations. Chinese President Jiang Zemin sent a telegram of condolence to George W Bush on September 11, 2001, but beyond that, it is exceedingly rare for a PRC leader to initiate outreach to a US president. (🧵)
