White House eased China tariffs after warnings of harm to ‘Trump’s people’

“There are several things that even Trump haters have to respect, this limited progress,” Michael Pillsbury, a China hawk who has advised Trump, said of the partial deal with Beijing. “It’s a big deal” that China acknowledged it would do more to reduce nontariff barriers, Pillsbury said.

Trump’s Disruptive Trade Agenda Is Giving Way to Scaled-Back Deals

Michael Pillsbury, a China expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, said the deal between the two countries should be seen as a win for Trump.  “This is promising,” said Pillsbury, who advised Trump on China during his first term. “But it could still blow up if there is no dramatic progress in 90 days.”

U.S. and China Dig In on Trade War, With No Plans for Formal Talks

Michael Pillsbury, a top China adviser to Mr. Trump during his first term, said Beijing was most likely waiting to see what the deals that the Trump administration reaches with other nations such as India and Japan look like before engaging directly. “They don’t want to start the formal talks because they want to know the bottom line from others first,” said Mr. Pillsbury, who speaks to U.S. and Chinese officials. He noted that the trade fight has become a major point of national pride for China and that it believes that Mr. Trump’s demands — which Beijing does not fully grasp — will soften as American markets gyrate and midterm elections in the United States draw closer. “Delay is very much in their interest, and a speedy deal is very much in Trump’s interest,” Mr. Pillsbury said
