China is beginning to feel the pain and I believe the problems in their economy are much more serious than our analysts believe.
I was reading an article in South China Morning Post, and a journalist there says that Chinese Navy Admirals and Communist Party officials have been told to cut back the Navy shipbuilding plan.
They are experiencing engine problems with their Stealth 5th Gen jets, design probs with newer destroyers and frigates limiting their nautical range, and operational probs with their new carrier.
In addition they are struggling with Command and Control issues for sea operations.
Trump has them where he wants them ...I think they are vulnerable to wide unrest over the next few years...Hong Kong may be a harbinger of things to come.
They need a deal.
And Trump knows this.
What if they make a deal now, bide their time, fix their problems, continue to steal our technology, use their spies to gain economic advantages and then come after us in 10 years?
