Before the meeting goes down in Tianjin here's my prediction on the outcome:

Basically there are three possible outcomes from the US point of view:

1. Best outcome - China basically gives in and unconditionally buys more US treasury, this outcome basically only exists in fevered dreams
2. Middle outcome - there's some successful negotiation and China agrees to buy more US treasury outcome in exchange for some actions from the US side. US will have to offer something pretty substantial for this, something on the level of end chip embargo and not just removal of import tariff or promise of no support for Taiwan independence.
3. Worst outcome - China doesn't relent and Sherman gets lectured in Tianjin

Now assuming the result isn't public information immediately we can tell weather outcome 2 or 3 was achieved in the coming days by observing what happens in Taiwan. If outcome 3 happens (I think most likely) then we will see a further ramping up of provocation by the US with more planes landing and so on as vengeance for not getting what they want.

At this level, someone 'junior' like her does not get to do the substance (hence get the credit) of actually doing the talks. All she can be is a glorified messenger delivering the information from her boss to her boss's counterparts. In this instance that is whether there will be a talk and what are the agenda. She will be slapped down hard if she has any delusion negotiating for anything other than protocol.

China causing US troops to commit suicide.

How? Is it because the US troops that are based overseas don't have Haliburton cooking and cleaning for them so they have to do it themselves...?
Given that the USG now wants to get female americans to register for the draft, is it possible that war may not be far off?
Especially when US think tanks keep saying how the US needs to institute a draft for a war against China?

So the US leaders decided that China is enemy no.1. Then the media cheerlead the American leaders. All of them want more confrontations with China. The soldiers, who have no say in this suffered terribly as a result. Hence they commit suicide. And this is China's fault? If this is China's fault, then shouldn't politicians, generals, journalists, and China haters too be commiting suicide because they have to be super busy now?

The average US soldier had to go on extended deployments on short notice. Personal lives have been ruined. And this is peace time deployment!

I bet all those politicians and flag-waving warmongers couldn't care less about what soldiers actually go through. They should be the ones spending time on deployment. I would personally like to see Steve Bannon, Gordon Chang, and others spend time deployed overseas for 8 months at a time. On short notice. I would love to see the look on their faces after just one deployment. If only that could happen.

I have a better suggestion. Force the chicken hawk journos and politicians to enlist and make them clean toilets on naval ships that routinely transit the SCS and see how they like it.

It's just talk, nobody in Washington relishes the prospect of Chinese missiles raining down on their head in CONUS. As for women joining the draft it's long overdue imho. Equal gender rights also means equal draft too.

Love Tiger Wang, it's sad that it's come to this but like the case of teaching Vietnam a lesson in '79, the Anglo Five Eyes also need to be taught a lesson otherwise the rest of the world will continue to suffer, including the people living in the white supremacist anglosphere.
