nice snipe
things are weird now
DJT DID give Xi the more than honorable way out when Xi went to Mar-a-Lago. DJT gave Xi the the penultimate in "Face" by, as a world leader, hosted him in his own "Home", had his children entertain Xi, and, as the piece de resistance, (I don't have proof, but as Mel Brooks said about Mongo punching the horse, "You don't go all the way up to the door and not ring the bell!), he apologized for OUR money causing all the corruption in China and what could he, as President of the US of A, do to help make amends.
By doing this, he freed Xi to act upon The Very Corrupt Princes within the CCP. ZTE was first, then came Huawei, neither of which caused a whit of diplomatic noise. Just let it happen. Because they knew in advance it was coming.
I could go on, but THIS is what's going down.
so many of these *people just reply to themselves
*bots
Or give more honor such a way that your opponent is obligated to act for you.
