Why on earth would trump encourage China to imprison a minority Muslim group? John Bolton is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he's not stupid, look how many books he will sell now!!

3 words - quid pro quo

No Taiwan was never actually part of China until 1945 when the nationaists ruled the whole country and where they retreated to. China lies about Tibet being part of China, Taiwan, Mongolia, parts Of Nepal and India and of course the whole of Mt Everest, time they were called out on their outrageous territorial claims and agressive actions, well done the Indians.

Seem a large portion of Taiwan’s history is missing. History goes back to the 19th century when the Qing dynasty ruled Formosa and had a General Governor in control. Formosa ceded to Japan in 1897 after a series of battles in the mainland. China organized a militia to resist the Japanese from occupying the island but was futile. It was until 1945 that the allies agreed to allow China to take control of Taiwan from the defeated Japanese. The nationalist army lost the civil war and found refuge in Taiwan in 1949. The Taiwan constitution recognized the one China status. Hope the information useful.

We might need the military to oust Biden from his basement at this rate. I lost count, what is it day 75 or 76 now? Hardly a show of charisma and strength is it?

He need not do anything much to beat Trump as the polls indicate. He can continue to take it easy in his basement. Let Trump self destruct strategy.

BBC & DW as of yesterday. Maybe good time to migrate over to a fake news kerfuffle post.  

 

This is the BBC’s report and was amicable in their reporting with headline indication that said ‘both sides tell their story’. Where you get yours?

NOW All this was deliberate, premeditated on the Chinese part.

The Indian soldiers come down and take it out (your words). How then can this be deliberate and premeditated by the Chinese. Surely the Indian soldiers were going there for a fight and were prepared for a fight. It surprised you that the Chinese had weapons in this highly tensed border area? Be real. This is not summer camp site. The Chinese lost soldiers too. It was an unfortunate brawl. Don't try to extend that to some kind of Chinese bashing.

You know NOT what you are talking about, and what does this have to do with extradition hearing in Vanc. Canada?

 

Even S Korea has surpassed CN in 5G rollout/infrastructure.

 

5G-USA~https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones

US has started 6G design, with deployment not before 2030.

A matter of interest; just who in US is developing 6G. On record, I know that Hua Wei and NTT DoCoMo are developing 6G and probably Oulu in Finland. Can you name the corporation/s.

Finally, another country willing to stand up to China.

Not really standing up to China but India standing their ground in an ill defined inhospitable territory. Pakistan's trading route with China will be cut off if India control that territory. As we speak, both countries are attempting a rapid deescalation of tensions. Just a small brawl. No firearms were used. No need for misdirected alarm.

The masks are really working then!

Yes it does. Comparing the number of re-infections at 20,000 and deaths 1,000 after US relaxed and less than 100 infections and no death in Beijing. 

Trump foreign policies have always been criticized for lack of a grand strategy - a coherent , long term plan. He really don’t have any strategy with his overtures to Kim. He was there for self gratification. Kim went with much expectation but now feel betrayed following the failed summits with POTUS. Kim entered those summits with an expectation of securing relief from a punishing economic sanctions but received none instead. In fact, US escalate the sanctions pressure and frustrate Kim who is now flexing his muscle to get Trump’s attention. Trump has done more harm than good in managing North Korea. US now have to rely on China to bring the tension down and as we speak, Pompeo is in the Far East for talks with the Chinese. I feel North Korea will escalate the tension more and likely to see fire fights. 

No problem. Trump will just quit the UN and cease funding.

I know, the problem shrinks to nothing when you look at America.

Only China can order an emergency and wartime lockdown and get compliance. Not going to happen in the liberal west.

No, it's the quintessential primary definition of lie.

 

In other words, either you didn't know the real definition, or you lied. 

Ah, the quintessential of lie is a noble art form of Trump in his whole adult life. Surely you know that or you are lying; again.

You don’t know it’s masked, you’re also assuming everyone at the Trump rally won’t wear masks, if trump had an outdoor rally you guys would hyperventilate just the same, and a waiver is normal in a litigious nation like the USA. 
 

But keep on with the crying about rallies though. It’s expected. 

You got me. However I am positively 100% sure that Trump will not wear one. Just imagine some not wearing mask because they trust and follow their master and all raising the voices in unison to cheer directing their respiratory droplets towards Trump. Does Trump has a waiver too.
