"Report: China is Fully Prepared for Escalated Trade War"

Oh sure, on the day I look to The Fly for a bit of macabre humor he goes all rational and informative on us.
From iBankCoin:

The Editor in Chief of the China Globe Times has been making waves on Twitter for his seemingly ‘in the know’ reports on the US-China trade deals. Judging by his recent tweets, the trade war is about to take a turn for the worse.

Today, I asked one from Chinese side who knows the trade talks well, how many possibilities there still are to reach a deal before Friday. His answer is: 0. If it is that bad, the real suspense is whether the two sides will continue negotiations after Friday.

The Chinese delegation is at the airport and will take off soon. Some ask why bother to go to the US for talks given what had happened?This is also a question for the US side, why still bother to invite the Chinese delegation? I want to emphasize 'invitation'.
