Drop a little more for me, please!!!

Just as for all others also a negative pull

Not only Yuan has slumped, but most of the currencies has fallen, due to this nasty Trade War. Indian rupee lost its value by about 4%.

I feel bad for Mr China, his kids are acting up, his secrets are for sale it seems and now he's in personal trouble, again.

China better wake up!! POTUS fights FOR America not globalism!

Aww, how sad.

the escalation of US trade war would lead down gradation of Chinese Yuan to 11 year low and the stocks fall.

Smart China did not impact anything

There are no winners in a trade war. Both countries have proven their point. Enough is enough

They laughed and said it couldn’t be done. That China was already our equal and we should take their thieving abuse and just suck it up. Yet already realDonaldTrump has brought China to its knees. Which is why Xi sues for peace. Meanwhile, Free HongKong!
