1. What did Gordon Chang, American attorney and China expert, point out about China during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on FoxBusiness on Monday?

2. What did Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi claim about tariffs and President Trump?

3. a) Define the following as used in the article:

• solidarity

• perplexing

4. a) What claim did Wang Yi make regarding solidarity and multilateralism?
b) How does Gordon Chang explain China's perplexing behavior?
c) What does Mr. Chang point out about Xi Jinping's concessions on the tariffs imposed by President Trump?

5. Maria Baritoromo asks Gordon Chang about his assertion that China "has folded" in the trade war. How does Mr. Chang explain this?

6. Consider Mr. Chang's answer to Ms. Baritoromo's question:

"The president has said now is the time to hit China with these tariffs given that economy is in a weakened position. How would you assess the Chinese economy right now, and what is the impact of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods coming into the U.S.?" (around 1:00 to 2:15)

How does Mr. Chang's assessment differ from what you have seen/read in the news regarding the progress of President Trump's tariffs to establish fair/equal trade with China (and the rest of the world)?

Pay attention to news reports on the tariffs and China going forward.
