BEIJING (Reuters) - A key diplomatic and security meeting between China and the United States next month may not take place due to tensions in relations, sources briefed on the matter said, potentially the latest casualty of worsening ties.

Beijing and Washington are locked in a spiraling trade war that has seen them level increasingly severe rounds of tariffs on each other’s imports.

Friction between the world’s top two economies is now moving beyond trade, with U.S. President Donald Trump accusing Beijing this week of seeking to interfere in congressional elections, marking what U.S. officials told Reuters was a new phase in an escalating campaign by Washington to put pressure on China.

We used to be a nation that understood Communism was evil.

Not a nation that jumped into bed buying Cheap Imported Junk to keep a brutal, repressive Communist dictatorship up and running.

Good to have a POTUS who understands that giving China our money is a damn fool idea.

On the Mark.
And by the way, how does a national economy built on dishonesty,
deceit and deception qualify as one of the top two in the world???
