ZHUHAI, China—President Trump says U.S. tariffs are battering the Chinese economy, throwing millions of Chinese workers out of jobs—and pressuring the country’s president, Xi Jinping, to strike a trade deal.
The reality is more nuanced. It is clear that China, after decades of rapid development, is grappling with a slowing growth pace and weaker sentiment among businesses and consumers. The country’s official measure of urban unemployment was near a record in August.As the U.S.-China trade fight continues to escalate following another round of tariffs from the U.S. and retaliatory moves from Beijing, WSJ’s Gerald F. Seib takes a look at potential next steps in the negotiations.
'Despite' is an utterly innaprproate word. It presumes some causal/logical connection to the statement and the world. There is none. China is not getting on 'despite' the sales pitch from the GOP. It's just getting on, regardless. Stop being so jingoistic

Tariffs are taxes on Americans who prefer foreign goods when they are made better than the suddenly after-tariff, superinflated prices of 'murican' goods. When American goods are made better and cheaper they will sell. Prices today are higher than the freemarket would demand.
Because China never fudges on their numbers.

Are supply chains not moving out of China because of the tariffs? Then China is losing jobs
