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.

#10. Good question. Did Feinstein’s Chinese (most probably Red Chinese intelligence officer) “know and when did he know it”?

Did he BUG her seating area in the car, her garage, her home, her bags, etc?

Also, the coverup of about this man needs to be blown wide open as to why he was allowed to leave without any charges, just like the Little Debbie Does IT Pakistanis treason coverup.

Send Xi a message by appointing Peter Navarro as Ambassador to China. Oh how entertaining that would be.

Not only should cut ties with China. We should seize all China’s assets in the USA and abroad!

And Hillary’s open secret server that was compromised.

So much national security information that was stolen or bought by countries and the Rats’ only concern is Russia/Ukraine/Trump

“They don’t like to be shamed.”

Republic of China on Taiwan has been shaming the ChiComs for 71 years now. Not that far from the mainland and still a free country after several PLA invasion attempts.

“Can the dragon swim?” is still being asked.

Yes, this is true but when will we ever have this much leverage?

What if today invited the United Nations to relocate in Beijing? Wouldn't that place us in an uncomfortable position today?

Why? The UN is an enemy to free countries...dominated by Islamists.

That said, I don't think the UN would be any happier in China.

I think events themselves (many of them caused by China) have conspired to bring the world to the brink of war with China.

Funny how that works.

I'm not a gambler, but I do appreciate odds and statistics. It looks like there is little China can or will do to change course. Xi has backed himself into a corner...and losing face by blinking is difficult given his culture.

Partner, Xi has lied, cheated, copied, and stolen really excellent technology from the U.S. and the CEO's of this country gave him everything.

Partner, this is a great post and we need to talk about Xi and the Chicoms.

We need to make laws in our great country where a CEO of a company must be born in the U.S. from 2 parents that were born in the U.S. period. This exactly what we expect from our POTUS.

It seems like these CEO's and Boards of Directors have given the Chinese everything including the kitchen sink and the whole world will be after this Communist nation called China and led by a Communist leader Xi.

The Chicoms wanted to paralyze our U.S. president and the whole world with this virus but it ain't happening.

If there is a war with China, it will be like nothing ever imagined. Given the advanced state of technological and scientific development in the world today, a war would literally be hell on earth.

I think the CCP is counting on this fact. The Communist Party of China doesn't value human life and probably wouldn't be concerned about those dying horrendously as long as the party bosses weren't hurt.

On the other hand, while the free world doesn't want war and values human life such that we don't want the kind of suffering that will surely come, we realize that war may be the only option with China. Either we fight and bring horrible suffering to the world OR we let the communists win (and that ain't gonna happen).

The “secret speech” reads a bit like novelist’s conjecture to me, not saying this might not be the genuine attitude of hard-liners in Beijing, but whether such a speech is real or just a cautionary tale remains open to question.

Perhaps though we should assume that sooner or later military or more severe (than COVID-19) biological war will come to pass, would rather be fighting that on their coasts than ours.

Probably the right strategy is to offer inducements for behaviour most similar to the best Chinese posture in recent times and see if they take that hint. I thought we were getting along fairly well before this Xi monster came to power (which in absolute terms was October 2016, so he and Trump arrived at similar times, although Xi was chairman for three or four years before taking on the supreme power he has today, it’s a thing called “core leadership” google it, Mao took it on as well — even by their standards he’s more of a dictator than some recent leaders had been).

Partner, the sad part and it really is sad is that we have armed the Chicoms ourselves by giving them our Technology.

They hate President Trump since he really sees the Chicoms now fully armed to the teeth against the whole world.

The Chicoms want to be No. 1 in the world and we in the U.S. just do not get it.

We need to stop all of this trading with the Chicoms since they hardly buy anything from the U.S.

We need to confront these inhumane Chicoms right now.
