This is John Batchel, a conversation with colleague Ann Stevens and Yang, author of Wild Ride,

about the rise of the Chinese miracle, and now we're watching its dissent. What is to be done?

And looks at the tariff war underway and says this is not the way to go forward. Too many American

products depend upon Chinese supply. The way to go forward

is China make a deal. But, and then we come to the mystery. What does China think it's going to be

asked for? What can China offer? Here's Anne to explain. The ask. More of this tonight.

You know, I think that always Trump was going to back down on the tariffs and China was going to come up with some

kind of at least face-saving solution. It does appear that we need something very, very serious and

systemic, but I think that trade embargo with China at this point is not the way to do it.

There are too many U.S. products that are dependent on that.

And I think that the Trump administration is very concerned about the coming price increase

and the downturn

and the economy that they're inducing with these.

You know, does China want to talk about it?

I mean, the big problem for China right now is what exactly is the ask?

That's the problem.

Like, okay, we'll offer something, but what is being asked of us?
