    China just tried to renegotiate already approved portions of the trade negotiations. That is why Trump is escalating the issue.

    I'm already telling you, the CCP can't, not won't, can't, make the changes that will be required. Even if they could manage to enforce the rules it would essentially tank their economy and burst that debt bubble. The CCP's rule is predicated on economic growth. Take away state run corporate zombie debt spending and tech transfer growth and you are looking at recession in China. There goes their mandate from heaven to rule.

    My hope is that Trump's advisers already know this, and know they have the CCP by the balls atm, and aren't willing to settle for a symbolic win before the election campaign starts.
    Trump not willing to settle for symbolism? What else does trump have? He’ll cave and declare victory any minute now. LRR.

    I do admire your advocacy for an all-out trade war to break China. Trump doesn’t have the intelligence or ability to wage it though.
    My only hope on this point, and mind you I'm rooting for Team America not Trump, is that as Race said, why hasn't he just inked the deal already? The Chinese are willing to promise pie in the sky bullshit to make everyone look like a winner so long as none of it needs to be followed up on or enforced.

    Edit: Point of clarity, I want to see the CCP broken, not China. Ideally the CCP gets forced into a corner where they have to accept two party elections and systematic reform with minimal bloodshed. The CCP is an enemy. The Chinese People are not.
    I hate Trump but love Team America!!

    What's your take @UW_Doog_Bot on Chiner and them being so far ahead of us in 5G?
    LIPO mostly. They are ahead because they've spent billions on subsidizing a state owned company or two while price dumping into the rest of the world to gain market share. Lots of governments are wising up to this though and banning Chinese telecoms. If that continues to happen(which I think it will since who fucking wants the CCP literally spying on all of your communications?) look for lots of the traditional players to make up market share in a hurry.

    Also see the above scenario, Hauwei will be in for a world of hurt if China goes into recession or is forced to actually respect IP for a plethora of reasons.

    God I hope you're right. China and the CCP with telecom and microchip is scaring the fucking out of me.

    The CCP has over reached. Remember when we were worried about ze Germans? or the Japanese? buying up the US?


    Sure I do bro. I'm way older that you @UW_Doog_Bot and when I was a little So Cal kiddie skiing at Deer Valley many of the train signs were in both Engrish and Japanese. But there's a big there's a big difference between the Japanese and Ze Chermans buying up the US in the 1980's and China now. Both Japan and Germany were close allies and Japan to this day still isn't independent from the US in terms of its foreign policy.

    I'm just saying that eventually both(and especially Japan) fell back down to earth and were forced to deal with economic realities after their "miracles".

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/asia/china-trade-talks-trump-intl/index.html

    Already approved? By whom?
    Just like North Korea denuclearization?

    If you can’t trust the Chinese to negotiate a trade deal who can you trust?
    Read the Hondo News Network article.
    You should remind Xi Jinping he APPROVED trump’s trade deal points.

    That’s why you have guys negotiating for you. If Xi Jinping didn’t like the progressing terms, maybe he should negotiate himself or put Swaye in charge.

    The Chinese need to get their act together. Seriously embarrassing themselves. Is this lack of good faith or incompetence by the Chinese? These are SERIOUS negotiations.

    We are just mean. Why can't we make a deal similar to what we did for Iran?
