China gives Trump $1/2 billion loan. Then, ZTE is off the hook; no tariffs

After China finances a Donald Trump project in Indonesia, Trump gives China a sweet deal.
Even the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal said China won this one:

Vox says: "Trump backs away from China trade war, while a Trump development gets a $500 million Chinese loan"

We are witnessing corruption at its worst as Trumps becomes richer thanks to his position as President.

Sad.

The USA fined them for that (since they do so much business with the USA, it's able to do that). Trump is helping them breaking sanctions against Iran for personal profit.

But you are correct the deal was double what many reports suggest. It is a serious investment in his 'resort/establishment.'
