SCMP: No summit with China’s Xi Jinping until a deal to end trade war is final, Donald Trump says

* The US president, speaking with Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He at his side, said it might be another month before he could announce a meeting with Xi
* ‘If we have a deal, we’ll have a summit,’ Trump said

US President Donald Trump met with China’s chief trade negotiator, Vice-Premier Liu He, at the White House on Thursday afternoon, but said a summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping would not be announced until a trade deal was in place.

“If we have a deal, there will be summit. I think we will know over the next four weeks,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that a final, written agreement would take an additional two weeks. “I look forward to seeing Xi; he will be here.”

Trump didn’t say whether that meeting would be in Washington or his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where they met for the first time two years ago.

Since the China economy become better, the Chinese will buy time. If we don't put a limit on time of this round, we are going to lose the effect of the tariff. A second wave of tariff will give a new "incentive" to China for a real negotiation.

Chinese leadership is "betting on the pendulum".

Such insincere behaviour should not be rewarded.

Betting on the pendulum is actually a good strategy. The same know nothings will say quit picking Obama, because he is no longer president. Well Biden is no longer vice president and he still cast a long shadow and is is still hoovering up money like the best bottom dwelling river fish, suckermouth. Biden file foto here


So daddy Biden wanted his kids to do well. I get it. He used his influence to set up his kids in a way that is forbidden to all low and mid level white collar professionals. We are constantly lectured and threatened (with the law). I still get it. I am chagrined and disappointed, but I understand it is the way of the world.

Inside the shady private equity firm run by Kerry and Biden’s kids

What really makes me angry is that this was not a one-off. It seems as though every aspect of foreign policy was bent and put in the service of these royal or dynastic families.

"Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived"

This seems more and more like The Roman Principate! Part Deux. And I do mean to emphasize the Part "Duh".

History repeats itself, "the first as tragedy, then as farce". These politicians should have had the benefit of a good education at a liberal arts university and 20/20 hindsight. It does not show. These venal, avaricious politicians cannot betray their DNA. You just have to read the works of the monkey whisperer, Laurie Santos, to know what they are going to do. It really is part Duh!

I do realize that Joe Biden's kids are going to be better off than my kids. It is the way of the world. I do expect some graft. I expect them occasionally to explain that they are smarter, better people. But it seems to be the opposite. They telegraph it, because it seems as though they have their thumb on the scales every step of the way after they have made it into the top 1%. They are telling us that without that constant favoritism, they would quickly fall from grace.

Look at Chelsea Clinton's husband. As soon as there was no longer a Clinton in high political office, his investment firm failed. Imagine that.

I have never read "Mein Kampf", but I know a lot about it. A psych professor read an excerpt in class. It is what he did on the 1st class every semester to make a point.

I have never watched the movie "The Godfather". I know a lot about it from references in popular culture.

When you have a loot of things to do, when you have hired help, why should you read everything yourself.

It is called delegation, my man.

The octogenarians riffs are odd too.
