    President Donald Trump's administration decided to delay tariffs on big items such as laptops, smartphones, and toys made in China until December 15. From The Wall Street Journal:

    The United States was "attacking China’s core economic interests," Chinese state media said. By making a number of "arrogant demands," Washington was "trying to invade China’s economic sovereignty and force China to damage its core interests," Chinese state news agency Xinhua said Saturday. The comments came amid U.S. demands to restrict the role played by powerful Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that dominate all sectors of the country's economy and receive favored treatment from the state.

    Contrary to the mainstream media reporting, President Donald Trump may be winning the trade war with China, according to a leading European think tank. The tariffs placed by the Trump administration could narrow the U.S. trade deficit with China by 17 percent, a recent paper published by Munich-based EocnPol Europe projects. "The US import tariffs will increase the prices of the affected Chinese products in the United States and decrease the profit margin of Chinese exporters," the fifteen page report says. "This might force some Chinese firms to stop exporting to the US, or even force them completely out of the market."

    A leading Chinese bank, which acted as the main conduit for payments to Iran, is halting financial transactions with the Islamic Republic, Reuters news agency reports. The state-owned Bank of Kunlun's decision was made "under pressure" of impending U.S. sanctions due to take effect early November, news reports disclose. The halting of transactions spells trouble for Iran's commercial ties to China, the country's biggest oil consumer. The Bank of Kunlun is controlled by China's state-owned energy group CNPC, a company running multi-billion dollar gas exploration projects in Iran.
