[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4083670, member: 58386"] You're still not getting it. China is still a one party communist nation with a so called "president" who will be in office for as long as he wants to be in office. In China there is no such thing as political dissent. The media is still state controlled and they sure as hell are not going to worry about pig fever. And as long as there is no such thing as political dissent they will be no pressure to make a deal on Trump's terms. They'll just sit there across the table and smile and whatever agreement if any is reached it will likely be more symbolism that substance and it's terms will not likely be much different that TPP. Chances are it will be something like the much hyped USMCA. Not whole lot different than the treaty it replaced. For example the US share of the Canadian milk market will grow from 3.25% to 3.59% . Big deal. All it will mean is that a few additional tanker loads of milk will go over the border. Yeah, you might see a deal reached but the devil is in the details and the only thing actually harvested is more political timber. BTW. Trump's embargo of Iran oil which promises sanctions against those nation's that don't comply? Day before yesterday an Chinese oil tanker (state owned) pulls up to an Iranian oil depot and loaded up ....See just how seriously the take Trump? [/QUOTE]
