Trump might claim China tariff victory – but this is Capitulation Day

The "breakthrough" being that in return for Trump scaling back the new US tariffs, China has agreed to scale back their new tariffs.

So America started a fight, realised they couldn't win, and then started begging for a return to status quo. And they're hailing this climb down as a breakthrough.
