It looks like trump just escalated his war with China.  There never was much hope of resuming soybean trade with China, now it's substantially less likely., almost non-existent I'd guess.

  It's also hard to see where this does anything but hurt the people of Hong Kong and all those who are helped by the WHO.

Not exactly my take.

Worst reality TV ever. Nothing substantive on China’s increasingly assertive behavior.

Avoided much on trade so as to not upset “the market.”

And did some blame shifting on WHO.

But I doubt we’re any closer to the trade wish list.

Trump is a failure. 

Especially fails big at good old fashioned Yankee Trading.
