As the trade war grinds on, Chinese authorities ready the populace for a long fight

By Anna Fifield Anna Fifield Beijing bureau chief. Email Bio Follow May 20 at 11:20 AM BEIJING — China’s government looks to be settling in for a long trade war with the United States, with President Xi Jinping invoking one of the Communist Party’s most epic — and ultimately successful — battles.

“We are echoing the present times using the art form of film,” the channel said, explaining its sudden schedule changes. The trade war reminds many Chinese of the 1950-1953 Korean War, when the two sides talked about a cease-fire for two years while continuing to fight, Xu Hailin, a commentator for the provocative nationalist tabloid the Global Times, wrote in a column published Monday.

Yang recalled that in the 1990s, CCTV-6 had been playing movies about its old ally, Yugoslavia, and that these had infused the social atmosphere. After the U.S. bombing of China’s embassy in Belgrade in 1999, “the students had been primed for action by these movies that had been playing,” he said, noting that it was entirely coincidental but nonetheless extremely effective.

All of this is a sharp turnaround from the days after President Trump tweeted that he would raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods from 10 to 25 percent in response to China “reneging” on commitments made to seal a trade deal and end the year-long tariff war.

Trump has found an ally in at least one key Democrat – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer . . In a tweet, he urged the president to 'hang tough on China.' Can't imagine that the LAT's will report this.
