Trump threatens to cut 'whole relationship' with China

--

NEW YORK -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is currently not on speaking terms with Chinese President Xi Jinping and that Washington could go as far as severing the "whole relationship" with Beijing if trade relations do not improve.

It’s turning out that the CCP make a mistake by sending their virus around the world, and watching if follow in the path of their imperial “belt and road” strategy. Xi is no dummy, and he’s going to ramp up efforts to turn things around in China’s favor.

I think he’s in the middle of making a second, serious mistake by responding aggressively, but he’s probably forced to by internal, domestic political realities.

And a wounded dog is most dangerous when it’s cornered.

I agree with your comments about Xi's response. He really doesn't have a choice but to get ever tougher. Too bad he didn't follow in Deng's footsteps and keep moving away from hardline communism. He's dug himself into a hole.

I also agree that we are dealing with a desperate leader and country right now (Xi and China). Very dangerous time.

Frank baby, i agree with your post , absolutely.

China is not really a mamber of the world wide community of nations. And the last straw has been cast. Where will it go? We will see after novemer 3rd. If we have the house and the Sanate and the presidency, there will be a very different new world order, one not based on deeply flawed liberal lefty foolishness.

In his escalator speech from June 2015, candidate Trump opened with promises to fix two problems:

1. Chicoms.
2. Muzzies.

He’s well underway addressing the first. I’ve no doubt he’ll take care of the second in his next term.

350,000 Chinese "students" (spies) and countless thousands of pregnant Chinese nationals in maternity hotels (birth tourism) for the purpose of anchor baby EASY infiltration into sensitive research and military programs seeking security clearances as American citizens..

It is angering to watch, rampant in California and I will go so far as to say they are INTERFERING IN OUR ELECTIONS BY TURNING RED DISTRICTS BLUE. And probably backed by the Chinese government itself with support and funding.

Commies like Gov. Gavin Nuisance WANT the Chinese to conquer Kalifornia and are probably PAYING HIM to look the other way.

Just do it! Recall our ambassador, cut off all trade, sent home all Chinese students and visa workers, please say 100% tariff on all Chinese goods, use that money to help repay states that have been affected by Chinese virus.

This is the prelude to the exposing Dianne Feinstein’s money games with China. She has already been approached by the FBI about the illegal insider trading like Burr was.

First Senator Burr (a Republican) thus proving it’s not just politics. Then DiFi.

After Di Fi, Pelosi for doing the same crime.

This China posture is all part of it. It increases the public outrage factor needed to take down DiFi.

I’ve been a buy American forever. I’ve been complaining about the one way trade gates and pro Made in China policies probably since before the days of Bush 1 and Clinton. Meanwhile many of my friends who claimed to be conservative back then said hey its free trade and we need to bust up the unions. It was too bad China had us under their thumb even back then while too many Repubs were only interested in one way trade and busting unions. Well time changes and we finally wise up before it is too late.
