China breaks unexplained silence on Trump trade deal: 'We are confident in implementation'

China said Wednesday that it is “confident” of reaching a trade deal with the U.S., and President Trump expressed optimism that Beijing will meet its promises to him, a day after Mr. Trump’s threat of more tariffs caused stock markets to plummet.

After days of unexplained silence, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said Beijing would try to work quickly to implement specific items that Mr. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed upon over the weekend at a Group of 20 nations summit in Argentina.

The Chinese government said it will “actively promote the work of negotiations within 90 days in accordance with a clear timetable and road map.”

“We are confident in implementation,” said the statement, calling the talks between the two presidents “very successful.”

Mr. Trump said the statement validated his announcement of an agreement with Mr. Xi. The president said Beijing had been silent because of Mr. Xi’s extended travels to Panama and Portugal after the G-20 summit. The Chinese leader and his entourage are scheduled to return to Beijing on Thursday.

“Very strong signals being sent by China once they returned home from their long trip, including stops, from Argentina,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “Not to sound naive or anything, but I believe President Xi meant every word of what he said at our long and hopefully historic meeting. ALL subjects discussed!”

This article is so dishonest! It is explained. The Chinese Team hadn't returned home to China to announce it on their end. Trump had already said the deal wouldn't be fully revealed until later in the week because of the Bush Funeral events plus the fact that the Chinese Team was still on the road busy and travelling, not expecting to have to announce it until after they got back home.

Wall Street, you need to learn now and learn quick that you better listen to what Trump says on trade matters, especially when it's a meeting he was in, not these stupid media people who a) were not in the meeting and b) wouldn't understand it if they had been in the meeting. You all cost yourselves a lot of money selling stupid.
