Xi played Trump like a fiddle and Trump is too far gone with dementia to understand how Xi ridiculed him, same with South-Korea and the coronation of Burger King.

you know thats a requirement in foreign negotiation right? you have to be willing to actually treat the other country like it's not an ongoing forever enemy. If you are so unwilling to praise the potential future alliance of the country your negotiating with you aren't going to be able to get a viable peace between the group. Thats why Canada got slammed for trying to post anti-american propoganda on U.S. stations mid-negotiation and why the U.K. got slammed for declaring that their allies have never felt a serious attack on it's soil, as if 9-11 never occured.

Yes, it's a welcome change from the former GOP eras that treated China as a threat.

It's about time the US had a president who accepts the new order.
