A US intelligence assessment suggests China is in no hurry to attack Taiwan. But Hoover's Eyck Freymann warns that Beijing is instead running a “campaign of exhaustion.”

He Lifeng, Beijing’s economic gatekeeper, has a clear mandate from Xi Jinping: China won’t be catering to the U.S.
Plus, without mechanisms to make any war catastrophic for Beijing, one expert warns, failure to deter it in the Taiwan Strait could plunge the world into chaos.
Beijing’s inability to think beyond formal diplomatic protocol has been a mismatch w a Trump team willing to engage only w those closest to Xi. What lies ahead is likely to be a cycle of tit-for-tat retaliation, making it hard to even start negotiations in near term.

Communication between Washington and Beijing is at a standstill, raising the prospects of a long cycle of tariff retaliation. “Trump and Xi are locked in a paradox of pressure and pride.”
