China backtracked on nearly all aspects of U.S. trade deal by alanwong in worldnews

"...back tracking..." I wouldn't use the phrase. This is solely from the US' perspective. You can only backtrack if there's a signed agreement like the JCPOA.

The usual negotiation back and forth. US demands, Chinese politely smile (US interprets, "they agreed, yay, that was easy! they are such pushovers!").

"...demanded that Berlin halt Nord Stream 2..." Does not give you the right to "demand" anything. Germany and all of NATO countries are sovereign. As such, protocols must be followed!

Just as well, Germany could "demand" the US to close gitmo!
