Soybean War -- Update -- September 20, 2018

I posted this a long time ago -- China may have shot itself in the foot, as they say, when they slapped tariffs on soybeans. A reader sent me the link to the same story, this time printed in CNN.com, dated August 30, 2018, so I was curious how things were going.  Here's the screenshot:

The links:

• from The NYT: China once looked tough on trade. Now its options are dwindling.
• CNBC is watching a different movie
• Reuters suggests that its Chinese pigs that are eating excess soy

So, we'll see.

The tea leaves suggest that the US is winning the trade war with China. I'm just waiting for reports of Chinese bankers jumping out of windows.
