China agreed to buy $200 billion more in U.S. goods (over 2 years) above 2017 levels.

The U.S. suspended some tariffs, but kept many in place.

It included IP protection, forced tech transfer, currency transparency clauses.

2. Did China violate it?
Yes, but context matters:

China bought far less than pledged — by end of 2021, they had only fulfilled ~57% of the purchase targets.

Yes, Trump is being too aggressive.

I'm going to give another longer analogy.

There was this big, beautiful superstore. For many years, it had the best deals, the widest range of products, FREE PARKING!

One day, this superstore decided to charge parking fees. These parking fees were HUGE! There was never anything like this before.

And this superstore said to it suppliers, you know, if you want to continue placing your products on MY SHELFS, you are going to need to make a deal. It is going to be a TREMENDOUS deal, and we are going to MAKE A LOT OF MONEY!

But the problem was, the superstore was big, but it forgot, there were many other smaller stores around. And once you added up the numbers, the total was bigger than even the superstore!

But true to form, he doubled down. LOL. And so customers started to gradually look for these smaller stores.

And the superstore, once the business and foot traffic shrank, risked making their loyalty card holders unhappy. The superstore started to panic and throw a tantrum. "Those are NASTY people."

Relax amdk bros, have a taco.

Both side also suffering. See whose side more damage.

Banyak agreement US tacticaly "forgot" when it suits them.

So if the post was real, you agree that trump makes himself look bad, right?

Its difficult to find people dumb enough to buy enough US goods especially their chlorine chicken, hormone pigs, glyphosate laces corns, or some big ass trucks that doesn't fit in china roads and carparks

= Trump was foolish to sympathize with the suffering China-people whose political master is the communist CCP, ie it was up to the CCP to alleviate the suffering of its people, not USA/Trump. Trump should sympathize with his own country and people first, ie America, American people and businesses.
....... Now Trump's ass got played by the CCP, ie CCP reneged on the Geneva agreement, eg for CCP China to soon remove export controls on critical rare earth magnets used by many industries.

Similarly, Trump should not sympathize with renegade regimes like Hamas/Gazans, Yemen/Houthis, Iran, North Korea, etc.

Similarly in life, we should not sympathize with convicted criminals, terrorists and known offenders/cheaters and their suffering families, eg their wife, kids and elderly parents.

Instead we should sympathize with crime victims and their families, plus innocent widows and orphans.

Ok. I see
President Donald Trump accused China of violating terms of a deal reached this month to temporarily dial back tariffs and other trade restrictions.
I also see
China's embassy in Washington responded by saying it was the U.S. that was abusing export controls in the semiconductor sector.

Looks like both also violated the agreement. Agree?
Who violated first. I don’t know. The one violated first is the real scammer.

.... In a social-media post Friday, President Donald Trump accused China of violating terms of a deal reached this month to temporarily dial back tariffs and other trade restrictions.

"China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

China's embassy in Washington responded by saying it was the U.S. that was abusing export controls in the semiconductor sector.

A U.S. official with knowledge of the talks told Reuters that only tariffs and Chinese non-tariff countermeasures were covered in Geneva talks, and that U.S. export controls were not part of the deal.

The official also expressed frustration that Beijing appeared to be moving slowly on promises to issue rare-earth export licenses, which could kick start export control retaliation by Washington if automakers vulnerable to shortages of the minerals are forced to halt production.

While a handful of licenses have been granted, including to some Volkswagen suppliers, Indian automakers say they still have received none and will have to stop production in early June.

German auto parts maker Bosch said this week that its suppliers have been bogged down by China's more-rigorous procedures to receive export licenses.

A Bosch spokesperson described the process as "complex and time-consuming, partly due to the need to collect and provide a lot of information."
