He tried to get funding for the wall over a year ago, to the tune of roughly 2 billion. There was enough Democrat opposition even at that point to derail it before it even made it to the Senate. They only thing the GOP and Dems agreed on at that point was 1.5 billion allocated for tech and maintenance at the border. No new fending or the like ofc.

Yep. Because there's a big difference between China doing whatever the **** they want and China coming to the negotiating table because Trump's actions have both directly and indirectly put them in a position where they actually want to negotiate on something. That in itself is a big concession.
