So just bend over, is that what you're suggesting?

Bend forward is the culturally acceptable good manners and will always reciprocate by a polite bow from the opposite. Trade is about reciprocity & not by intimidation.

If China viewed the USA as an enemy, there is a much easier way to bring the USA to it's knees. It could sell all it's US debt that it holds in the form of T-bills.

There are more sensible heads in China than the Trump's administration. There is no winner in a trade, currency or selling US debts on both sides. This tension is all Trump and his China hawks created to impress their domestic constituent. When he is gone in November, more reasonable and competent people will repair the damage caused by 4 years of economic mismanagement.

A dropping economy, internal weakness, declining population, etc etc. Including the extreme drop in soft power due unleashing a lab virus on the world!

Wouldn't all that also refer to US? Perhaps except for the last bit on losing soft power due to Trump's inane foreign policies. All said, both countries are at different stage of distress and it is really a zero sum game to go after each other in the middle of a pandemic.

Of course we should take Chinas word on such, being global fraudsters and known currency manipulators. 

Those data are from Bloomberg and Reuters which are the world most credible information sources on the financial industry and thousands of investors rely on their information. You cant be belligerent all the time. You lose credibility if you persist.

One more fact - coming from the news source which has shown truly correct and unbiased attitude as to what is going on in this 'Remove Trump from WH saga - It was Flynn's phone that was tapped, so all his conversation with Trump have been under surveillance. This is bigger than Watergate scandal.

I am not US citizen, don't want to often post my comments about the country which is not mine .But when I see what is going on there and to what length  the corrupted Dems. are prepared to go in their bid to remove the duly elected president , I wonder what is awaiting other countries in the future if the Dems. succeed. Hell , I guess

That is straight from Devin Nunes's insane and ignorant dross with equal contribution from you. It is shocking for Nunes as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee not to understand intelligence gathering. Phone calls are wire tappable by virtue of Congress's Communications Assistance to the Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Flynn was talking to a foreign agent in the form of Kislyak who was an agent of foreign power and was therefore targeted and subject to surveillance. Flynn violated the Logan Act that prohibit private individual to talk with a foreign government on foreign policy contrary to the interest of US. Lastly the wire tapped was done before Trump officially took office.

That's what happens when you start a war you can not win. When you're vulnerable you get kicked in the balls.

The China trade data in April is evident that China is pushing on without USA. Their export rose an unexpected 3.5% when economist from Reuters and Bloomberg expected a export decline of 15%. China is replacing exports that are effected by the trade tariffs to countries in Latin America, South Africa and SEA. Meanwhile USA export in Feb plunged to a record 9.6%. Trump is fighting the trade war with his impulsive instinct and goaded by his toadies. He is non strategic in his approach and that is not a recipe for success.

No he did not. Now be a smart man, go look up what Flynn was charged with precisely, and what the judge said, ludicrous as it was. Then look up what the FBI said and did in this case. Flynn committed NO crime. Is a patriot. I hope he has a job waiting in the administration after Trump wins re-election, if not before.

You seem to be enjoying this rare moment in DOJ history in which the AG dismissed this case for political reasons even though his case was a legitimate charge and he pleaded guilty under oath. These same arguments of entrapment and prosecutorial overreach will be presented to a judge who has a history of holding prosecutors accountable and will be most likely to reject the case. In the eyes of Trump, he is a patriot and thus be pardoned.

The Trump bashing just goes on and on....listen Democrats from the USA, and those who love to envelop themselves in US politics as sick hobby, the Democrat party is imploding! You don't see it? They have a brain dead , their Congressional leadership are proven liars in the greatest political hoax in US history, and prominent members of the last administration are going to be indicted very soon.... go ahead argue with me... just like you did about Mueller, the impeachment, the Flynn case etc etc.......mark my words AGAIN...the Democrat party will NOT survive 2020! OVER! Haters! Obama? That's fear talkin' !!

Your passage should be suggested to Trump's campaign speechwriters. It will do enough to arouse his supporters to start lynching again.

Crazy trade war? China better get their act together. Their about to get reset backward!

Agree that crazy was the wrong word. It should be madness. Madness because it started with a carefully calibrated trade weapon to rebalance the relationship and ended with uncoordinated unpredictable and non-calculated personal tit-for-tat tiff with China that harm US consumers and throw the supply chains into disarray. It is madness when one man's impetuous has confounded attempts at strategy. It is a madness of a President caught between his instincts as a self proclaimed "dealmaker" trying a make his place in history and a contentious band of aides goading him into more radical actions. 

Good guys out and bad guys in policy. So Trump.
