RE: US China Trade Negotiations as “Delay and Deceive”, “Face Before Truth” and Outright Lying.

The Chinese are nothing like Westerners. They do not seek win-win but authoritarianism. They use “Face before Truth”, they use “Delay and Deceive”, the do not seek partnership they seek rule in the interest of their ruling class regardless of the consequence to their people or to others. They never adhere to agreement or contract by using delay and deceive.

As a rational pragmatism, it is merely better to Talk vs War. However, we are all waiting to determine who will blink first – the chinese economy, the Chinese CCP, or Trump and the Trump administration. So basically, we will have until at least next spring before anyone ‘blinks.

Most of the outcome is predicated on how fast the Trump administration can push through both domestic and international agenda, so that the US Economy has a future independent of China, or whether the rate and severity of the decline in the Chinese economy causes a threat to the stability of the CCP necessitating their compromise.

IMO war is their best option but it only will accelerate the decline of the CCP. This leader, another chinese “Bad Emperor” problem (Look it up) could have kept on building their commercial dominance and the rest of the world would have been just as happy as we were before “Bad Emperor Xi”. But between the Taiwan issue, the India issue, the Russia Issue, the North Korea issue, the CCP is just another well funded state terrorist organization.

The USA makes plenty of mistakes but they want all people to have sovereignty within their borders, human rights for all, and free trade for all. And Americans have spent too much blood and treasure dragging mankind out of its historical warfare into the Pax Americana to have their investments seized and abused by yet another set of authoritarian terrorists trying to set the world backward by two centuries.
