Not only Trump got that phone call with Xi, but an invitation to visit China again as head of state. That is going to be bigly!
The phone call, was not a sure thing. Who knows if the Chinese even wanted to deal with the Americans.
But now, Trump will visit China. Imagine today Zelensky visiting Russia, or Putin visits some European capital. That is not going to happen. This visit is big.
What does China get out of it?
Not much, it does buy time, for maybe the EUV machine to appear. If Trump is coming to China for a visit later, then the Americans will not go too crazy with the stuff they are doing.
Furthermore, the objective facts remain the same, and the CCP feels that Taiwan is not an pressing problem at the moment, the trade war has the trade surplus over $1 trillion so let's not talk about that, and in the tech war kind of obvious China is very much in the game to make a long story short. Even China will not gain much, they lose nothing if Trump comes on a state visit.
What Trump gets out of visiting China, seems much more interesting.
1.
He had to flip the script after that trilateral meeting of ASEAN-Chian-GCC where it was all smiles and positive feelings for the future, then Hegseth shows up two weeks later in the same neighbourhood at that security conference demanding more military buildups in case of war!
So after making plans for the future, these same ASEAN countries are told they must fear the boogieman.
Everyone can see this is a losing strategy, expect for the lying Liberal media and the neo-cons and the Altantits.
Trump had to flip the script or see America become more irrelevant, which meant his statue lessens.
2.
America and China making deals. Who is left out? Exactly, the Europeans were upset the last time, and they will not exactly like it this time.
However, this time, seems like there is far more at stake. The drums of war are beating in Europe, something I have never heard in my life. Before WW1, some Englishman famously wrote that the lights were going out in Europe. Today, it has that same feel. It is going in that direction/
Now, what if Trump decides, screw this, go fight your own war, America too busy making deals with China and the region?
Suddenly, if this is the message, the war drums would be not as loud.
Going to China, Trump creates leverage for America over Europe. The applies for China visa-vis Europe. Trump is not interest in an Europe WW3.
3.
There are rumours or maybe that is just how it works in Washington DC, that President Trump really is not in full control of his administration.
That could be the case.
Trump like Putin. Then who ordered the assassination attempt on his helicopter? Now that is awkward if they have to speak to each other sometime in the future.
Who ordered the hit? Who ordered the attack on Russia nuclear assets, the bombers they stored out in the open to compile still with a treaty with the Americans?
We do not know.
What we do know, President Trump said today that there will be no problem with Chinese students coming to America to study, it would be an honour to have them. That is apparent what was in the public record. By saying that, and saying he will visit China, President Trump rebukes his Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, telling people who is still boss.
So that blowup today with Geekdom nation's Superhero Elon Musk could be all WWF.
