It will be very interesting: it looks better than it did a few weeks back, but still a long ways to go.


That sums it up well, Steve. The thing is, we have to be prepared to have them walk out, and us walk out. The pressure at home from the media and the opposition will go up each time it breaks off, or looks bad, and the Chinese and NK know this. We will be negotiating as much with our people at home as with our Asian opposition.

The Chinese will try to leverage Taiwan and the WTO. The key thing is that they have now seen our resolve in the ME. This is going to be a major factor, IMO. They know the admin is tough.
