Russia, Ukraine, China... who is next?

In case any of us still have doubts about who Trump fears most, Biden detractors, both foreign and domestic, keep reminding us.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He publicly stated it one week before they sat down for their last round of negotiations.

I believe the article cites June 18 as the first time Trump went on record with this. One can only wonder how long this has been going on behind the scenes.

If Biden or any number of Democrats was the President, I'm sure trade and other relations would normalize.
If anything I would think China would prefer a Democrat. ( a pro-trade Dem, not a protectionist)

Tarrifs. Opening up the US markets to Huawei. US selling out Taiwan.

All long term gains for China, and Trump, as we have seen, would gladly trade any and all of these for dirt, factual or manufactured, on Biden.

And later, there is nothing to prevent China from throwing Trump under the bus.

know about tRUMP? Believe me, the Chinese have ALL the dirt on tRUMP. It would make an interesting dossier to release to the Democratic Impeachment Crew.

disclaimer: I have traveled in China and have great affection for the Chinese People. The history of China is important in many areas, despite criticisms I/we can legitimately make concerning the actions of their government.
