It seems to me that China has been assuming Trump's been shooting-from-the-hip and short-sighted, and allowed themselves to be outmaneuvered by him. People call Trump incompetent and bumbling and other unflattering terms, but Trump is actually very smart and is playing with a full house from a deck he stacked himself.

I agree more with this type or reasoning. He or his administration knows full well that they are holding all the aces. So the Chinese can pretend to play tsun tzu all they want, US just needs to hold. Currently it’s looking much worse for china, but hey things can change and very very quickly.
