China ’s leaders say they are open to talks, but they also made preparations for the higher U.S. tariffs.

China 's leaders have since developed a toolkit of tariffs, import curbs, export controls, sanctions, regulatory reviews and measures to limit companies from doing business in China .

Beijing showed restraint in its response to leave room for negotiation, analysts say.

China has learned from previous dealings with Trump , Russel says.

It has stronger trade ties with many other countries than during Trump 's first term.
