Let’s be honest. This bill was submitted only to derail Trump’s sensitive trade talks with China. Otherwise if Hillary would have been president, the Hong Kong protests wouldn’t even be a blip in the news. Same Congresscritters who have millions of dollars in back-room deals with China now want to get tough with them.

He’ll turn it into a negotiating tool, that’s what his comments are about. He can show Xi that he’s being nice, but he could change his mind and do things that would squeeze Xi harder if he wants to. Or needs to.

I’m actually surprised he did. It would have gone into effect without his signature. I thought he was using it as a carrot. Maybe this is a sign that the trade talks aren’t going well, and the tariffs will kick in as scheduled.

[I signed these bills out of respect for President Xi]


He’s going number 1 down Xi’s neck and telling him it’s raining. Same kind of thing he’s been doing to Putin even while the Demorats have been calling him a Russian agent.

Congress is in recess. This was done at least more than a week ago.

Why are we just now hearing about it?

It appears the Hong Police are putting their Communist Party training to good use:
