One silver-lining is that we are decoupling from China. There is no way China can replace access to our market, the biggest and most lucrative in the world. And other countries are doing something similar as the Wuhan virus opened their eyes as to how dependent they are on China for essential items. It is a matter of national security. I would add that Japan is pulling its companies out of China.

The long term impact on China of rearranging supply chains will be devastating. It could make them more belligerent.

All day the Democrats on the Sunday panels have been mentioning how President Trump was always praising China and how he liked XI.

Man I want nothing to do with China...ever. Seriously, I am not even going to buy Chinese food....let those people know how good America’s been to them and now we’re mad.

As for Trump praising China President....Trump does that all the time. He’s just being nice but he does that and maybe he shouldn’t comment like that at all. Because the Dems are sitting on that sound byte and now, when we’re all mad at China, they bring it out.

I don’t think Trump ever much liked President Xi but he says that about everybody he’s going to talk about.

“I spoke to the Devil yesterday about sin. Nice guy, that Devil.”

Trump needs to stop that although since I understand the guy, I know he means well.

Glad to see other countries taking a stand against China. Their bullying days may be over. Looks like Australia is in a beef and barley trade war with China.

Two points:

1) China basically begins everything with belligerence, even if masked out of necessity.

2) If "rearranging supply chains" includes job losses of significant numbers (say 100,000,000 or so), the PLA may well have major internal commitments before considering, let alone executing, acts outside of China's boundaries.

(Like Tienanmen Square times a few hundred thousand???)
