Reuters: China rebuffs Germany's call for U.S. missile deal with Russia

China does not want to play fair, that has been proven. They feel they deserve this thus they ignore global norms. Another reason Trump should make sure our military is strong!

The problem is not really here. That's true, not every country is respecting all the rules, but when it come to a "Hitler like" government, that's frightening and we don't have to make an other 1938 deal again, the cost is too much heavy.
What would you give China in return for disarming itself? Afterall, China built up its missile arsenal in response to the US sailing aircraft carriers through the Taiwan Strait in 1996.
