I would take this as a hint that a tariff deal had been set since China
lost 90% of their market and Taiwan picked it up. China simply could not
go on with that for long.

But perhaps this was all upon rumors so we have to wait and see.

 Yes China didn’t blink! So negotiations in Genova have largely reduced it
back massively though still high and only for a 90 day period.
 I’m sure Trump will spin it as win but this is US backing down as well
China didn’t blink, and has been politically strengthened by this, both
internationally and nationally.

They notably didn't publicly list any real goals for the negotiations. That way, they can claim victory no matter what the result.

In that with the US support being unreliable countries have looked
elsewhere and nationally any problems can be blamed on Trump.
