China's yuan fell to an 11-year low against the dollar on Monday and stocks...

But the currency later pared losses after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he believed Beijing wanted to make a trade deal. Trump said China had contacted U.S. trade officials overnight to say it wanted to return to the negotiating table.

“This tit-for-tat escalation shows how unlikely a trade deal and de-escalation have become,” Louis Kuijs, of Oxford Economics, wrote in a note late on Sunday.Oxford now expects China’s economic growth could fall significantly below 6% next year, even assuming more policy support measures.“With the drag on GDP growth set to rise to nearly one percentage point before long, it is significant enough to warrant looser monetary policy and a weaker exchange rate,” it said in a note to clients.

“The PBOC has not yet signaled its bottom line for the yuan,” Cheung said, referring to the People’s Bank of China, the central bank.

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!
