Liu Xin Versus Trish Regan
- Thread starter tidalwave
- Start date
It doesn't really matter if she wins or not, although I'm sure she'll be very well-prepared for the debate. Liu Xin's main purpose of going there is to promote China's stance on the trade dispute to the American public through a mainstream conservative media. I hope they live stream the debate without any cuts.
Good point. I agree with this. Although I doubt it matters. The people who watch fox won't be swayed either way. If trump says black is white and white is black they would still believe it. Those people are loonies.

when I arrived to the US for the first time ('01), FoxNews was a part of 'culture shock' LOL it's like pub talk here, with crosstalk, shouting etc.,It's Fox News....nothing good came from from that.
but after several months I tried The O'Reilly Factor and had been following it for the rest of my stay (many years after that I was sorry to hear about Bill's personal issues, c'est la vie, I guess)
anyway as I said, am looking forward to Liu x Regan this week

... but not going to wake up in the middle of the night to watch live LOL 8 pm Eastern Time means 2 am here as far as I know:
"Regan and Liu would face off in a prime-time debate, to air on Fox Business on Wednesday at 8pm ET."

It wasn't even a debate, more like an interview. Xin played softball; all she had to do was get a big list of companies suing US companies for IP infringement and another one with all the US companies being subsidized by the government, and watch Trish stutter like an idiot over how the US can hold China to standards that it doesn't hold itself to. But Xin didn't want to do that for some reason. Xin spent the whole time talking about how China's not perfect but coming along and never challenged Trish with any of America's behaviors.

thanks for linking, I've now watched it all LOL what a change from
actually for several minutes I had been listening, not watching, and reading
Watch Fox’s Trish Regan and CGTN’s Liu Xin trade blows in TV debate
- Battle of the anchors ends with polite and restrained on-air discussion
- Unprecedented American audience for Beijing’s stance on trade war and economy

anyway who's won according to you (or was it perhaps a draw?)

Nobody won cus there was no debate. Nobody "wins" an interview. When Trish said, "Do you think we can have no tariffs both sides?" And Liu said, "Yeah, I think that would be great!" we just entered the realm of chit chat and banter.
But honestly, while it would have been instinct to do what I said and try to embarrass Trish on live air, it would have only exacerbated hate as people see a blonde American girl getting talked into a corner by an aggressive Chinese woman. What Xin did may have led some Americans on the fence to lighten their disdain for China.
