Did you even bother reading the entire linked story, beginning the post? Probably not. Let me help you with the relevance....


Trump said Monday that officials from China called U.S. officials and expressed interest to "get back to the table,” The Wall Street Journal reported. He called the discussions a “very positive development.”


In response, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He told a state-controlled newspaper on Monday that "China is willing to resolve its trade dispute with the United States through calm negotiations and resolutely opposes the escalation of the conflict," Reuters first reported, citing a transcript of his remarks provided by the Chinese government. Liu is China's top trade negotiator.

SFW. As I posted earlier, they had already set up early September talks in July. Did you expect him to say they’re going into those pre-arranged meetings with hostility? September begins this weekend. So, to say they blinked, because of events since Friday is delusional. It’s also the complete opposite of their statements through their state-run news outlets, which is just another thing you won’t bother to read. I’ll put the link there for those that may want a little more information.

I see. I'm just paying attention to the wrong Chinese state run outlets.

If you can't trust a Commie State run news outlet who in the heck can you trust...MSNBC? CNN?

There are plenty of lemmings, as well.
Yep, we know why you selected the mojo.  I thought it was a mimic of someone, but appears to be a selfie.

I've had him on ignore for some time now.
It's easy.
Why not try it yourself?
