Chinese leadership is facing a rare backlash for its handling of the US trade dispute

On no. Dissent in the communist party ranks.

A growing trade war with the United States is causing rifts within China's Communist Party, with some critics saying that an overly nationalistic Chinese stance may have hardened the U.S. position, according to four sources close to the government.

President Xi Jinping still has a firm grip on power, but an unusual surge of criticism about economic policy and how the government has handled the trade war has revealed rare cracks in the ruling Communist Party.


A backlash is being felt at the highest levels of the government, possibly hitting a close aide to Xi, his ideology chief and strategist Wang Huning, according to two sources familiar with discussions in leadership circles.



A prominent and influential academic whose views have found favor in some party quarters has also come under attack for his strident views on Chinese power.
Wang, who was the architect of the "China Dream", Xi's vision for China to become a strong and prosperous nation, has been taken to task by the Chinese leader for crafting an excessively nationalistic image for the country, which has only provoked the United States, the sources said.

But communism doesn't work at all , many here say. But China is a world power to whom we have a huge trade deficit. All current major systems are hybrids .

Our population 380 million, China's 1.38 billion.
Our GDP 23 trillion, China's 11.5 trillion.

Per capita it isn't close, most Chinese live in squalor. If your hybrid doesn't include open market capitalism.....your goose is soon cooked. As donttread with his massive knowledge of world history can attest.

Great stuff, Pete. Unless you or others bring this to attention, we wouldn't see it. There seems to be a tendency not to report news coming from Canada, China, or Europe that this 'trade war' being pursued against the United States isn't painless. The focus here seems to be on the American angle, how it plays out politically especially where Trump is concerned. We seem more interested in how it effects the US economy, where the pain is felt, how it effects 2018 elections, etc. Very little on the Chinese and Canadians now feeling real economic and political pain.

This is solid info on Chinese struggles, I posted a thread about Canada's pee contest ongoing with the Saudis.

Like yo....Canadians.....perhaps when in a little economic trade spat with the US....you not send your moral compass idealists to Saudi Arabia and start chirping about their women's rights. Come back home and milk a cow or something, contribute. Yer just stirring pots in the Levant.

It is heartening to see this reaction from the Chinese communist party.
