I tend to agree with your assessment about Xi. The thing is, early on he did cooperate with Trump, and Q alludes to this in some of his early posts. But he never cooperated completely. He was playing for time till Trump was out of the way, so he threw us a few bones regarding North Korea and trade, but nothing that he didn’t think could be walked back once Trump lost the 2020 election, which it was his plan to make sure happened via this FF we’re witnessing. But Trump was playing Xi the whole time and knew what he was up to.

He cooperated the usual way China 'cooperates'. By giving with one hand and taking with the other, and taking much more than giving, with little to no intention of keeping their word.

China made the mistake of thinking Trump was like every other derp President, but his usual tricks didn't work and The Donald was having none of it. Tariff's BLAM. Trade war BLAM. Confrontation in their zone. Blam. Pulling manufacturing back home BLAM.

I wrote an earlier essay on how Trump has isolated and neutralized China and how now deepened that isolation by having the evidence of their bio attack.

And I believe the shady happening in NK with Kim Un have a large part to play in the Chinese game. Lets see which way NK breaks.

In summation: China is the devil to the derp state's Satan. Which is to say a finger on the hand of the enemy.
