(Trade war) 'Deadly consequences' avoided Global Times says

In an editorial commentary today, the state-run Global TImes says the  full-fledged trade war waged by the US had at times made the two sides "see red." But it was stopped by the phase one agreement before causing any deadly consequences for either side.

This shows that both China and the US are clear-minded. Both sides believe that continuing the trade war for a longer time is counterproductive to achieving their own strategic goals and exacerbates the loss and creates more serious risks, the comment says.
