This makes it harder for them to wait 'til after the elections. The (D)'s are already onboard because of IP theft, tech xsfr & fentanyl. Will the (D)'s cut them more slack on human rights than Trump does ?
Makes my point for me.
What happens if Dems fall in line with Trump (whether he's President or not), and the US digs its heels in, and China does the same? Now what?
We're not prepared. Get prepared. Work to get other markets for American producers, and I'm on board.
Also, get out military ready for a Cold War.
As for waiting for the election, China has to do it. They have no choice but to see if they can get a "better" dealmaker. Better from China's perspective, obviously.
Hong Kong, when part of the British Empire, was a fantastic place.
It was magical (from the perspective of this Senior Shore Patrol Officer).
Two upcoming US Navy port visits cancelled.
It's heartbreaking to see what the ChiComm's have done to it.
It's a cautionary tale for any belt & road partners.
This can only help the US, from trade & strategic perspectives.
Trump's playing it right. An Obama style lofty HR lecture would not be helpful right now.
