POSOBIEC: At the end of the day China doesn't view agreements with the West as contracts. They use these agreements to their advantage every single time. pic.x.com/v27yqTKBhL

Analysis Summary
China has a documented pattern of using trade agreements tactically—the recent US-China tariff escalation (peaked at 145% tariffs over 2025-2026) and the current stalemate before Trump's Beijing summit illustrate this dynamic. However, Posobiec's claim that China does this 'every single time' overgeneralizes; outcomes have varied across decades of agreements. The post offers commentary rather than analysis, omitting the US's own strategic use of agreements (like the managed trade proposal for $30B in non-sensitive goods) and ignoring that both sides negotiate leverage.
Claims Analysis (1)
“China doesn't view agreements with the West as contracts. They use these agreements to their advantage every single time.”
Pattern of Chinese trade behavior documented in recent trade disputes; generalization about 'every single time' overstates uniformity.
