China Trying to 'Run Out the Clock' on Trump Presidency

According to China Beige Book's COO Shehzad Qazi, China is employing a delay tactic strategy ahead of the September meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Rather than pursuing substantive trade negotiations, China is using ongoing diplomatic meetings to maintain the trade truce while effectively 'running out the clock' until the end of Trump's presidency, with expectations for concrete outcomes remaining low.
