But to even insinuate the possibility of WMD in a trade spat is sheer insanity. I haven't heard a single anti-Chinese comment and get no sense that there is any anti-Chinese animosity over trade.... Thank you. Spot on. Comments about Trump’s pride and his goal of turning China into a vassal state reek of deeply ingrained TDS. The ad hominem attack I received from Rarebird, same. The only thing that truly matters at a high level are interests. Politicians are merely the vessels of a country’s interests. Some assert them strongly, some weakly. Trump asserts them strongly, something new on the world stage after weak Obama and Bush. The Chinese, hell, the rest of the world, don’t know how to deal with someone so unique. You cannot deal lightly with a guy whose tweets, composed in a 1/2 hour or less, will dominate the global news cycle for days. Or someone who singlehandedly changed the manner in which Presidential elections are conducted in the face of a furious and well-financed opposition. Trump is asserting the US national interest in ways that have not ever been seen before. He really is a phenomenon and, love him or hate him, he will rock the boat in ways that are yet to be seen. Whether he will succeed is definitely open to question. But dismissing him out of hand because of a visceral reaction is really quite stupid. Assigning irrational motives to actions which are more or less mundane aspects of a high level negotiation is even crazier. No, no WMDs as part of a trade spat. Folks need to get a grip. Thanks for an excellent post.
