You really havent been paying attention. Its the CIA plants that are agitating. They want the Chinese to come in, we cut off talks and jack up the tariffs. We impose sanctions and we ruin their economy while covering for the debt melt down in the US. And Xi gets the blame.
How is that for a theory?
As good as any others out there.
All the more reason to shoot the black clad "agitators" without hesitation.
I'd use snipers to do the dirty work, and let the global interventionists howl.
