The only way for Trump to win this against China and get a deal is to:
  • Figure out what he wants most from China and stand firm on that. Maybe farm or auto exports, and get China out of the Panama Canal
  • Give in on a bunch of other stuff that China won't back down from.
  • Keep tariffs on China at 15%.
Then, do everything in his power to move Taiwan Semicondocutor, Foxconn and pharmaceutical manufacturing to the United States.
While keeping Taiwan as a US proxy?

Yeah - good luck.
