Cases have to be built. That takes time. Let’s hope that the DOJ is in the process of doing that.

The trick is going to be setting up a system now that prevents China from cheating, stealing IP and ignoring treaties. Its not going to be easy or something that will get done in 30 days. I hope the administration and country are committed to this being a long process that will work, not a quick headline grab.

“Told us they ignored their obligations. We had an excellent trade agreement… Biden chose not to enforce it.”

Did he chose? Or was he paid off via Hunter?

--- "...because they knew he wouldn't enforce them...."

This is THE fact about the Democrats, city , county, state and national, that they don't enforce laws they don't like. And so from illegal immigration, fraud and corruption, whole Democrat-run states are coming up against the results of their own folly.

Did China happen to mention whether they thought any of the Chinese money that flowed to the Biden family helped Biden in his decision not to enforce the deal?
