Ironically, that is exactly what is happening and that is precisely what he hates so much!

Tracking their messages is torture – like being forced to watch a bunch of bad comedians tell jokes
They are breaking my understanding of the bottom line of the 草台班子 every day.
Dam if this was showing respect, what will they do when they are going to disrespect China?
I've wanted this way ago that the US will face a country that deal with them like the US. But china's patient & calculative which is more important than small & immediate wins, that's way the rare earth wasn't just used instantaneously without a plan, objectives,...etc.
Just imagine what would the US do, if they've the control over Rare Earth.
And I can't forget, and I don't think china's government forget, how americans tried to kill Huawei, they started the economic war way before.

Yeah, most people being a Trump fan here is not about what good he can do, but how much more he can mess things up for the USA. I mean Trump and doing good is just a joke from the beginning. I wanted him in simply to see just how quickly he can ruin things and so far he didn’t disappoint in that regard.

Well, in this regard, you can be a fan of just about any US politician who can succeed him, as well.

The problem with China's policy on retaliation is exemplified here. The West thinks China's rare earths restrictions are unprovoked when it should've happened earlier like when the US put sanction on semiconductors being sold to China. I don't buy that bull that it was because China didn't have helium. It's not stopping China when they're saying China has a quartz supply problem that the US can exploit. Nothing has change from back then except that countries like Japan are actually less dependent on China for rare earth magnets. China still holds a commanding control of the supply. This is what Chinese don't get about Westerners where if you don't "retaliate" in kind immediately, the status quo to them become the norm and if you try to change it later, you're the criminal. It's just like how the West stereotypes Asian women as being their sexual servants. So when a white man goes out on a date with an Asian woman and she doesn't immediately live the stereotype for him, he thinks he's the victim of racism. It's his right to have Asian women serve him and if she doesn't do it, you're violated his rights. Then I remember hearing how minorities in the US would complain where's the Asian women for them to serve them sexually like they are a commodity to be distributed. You say nothing, do nothing... they think that's the norm. And you don't see white women, the self-anointed champion of women's rights doing anything because they think it's cultural, never mind that hasn't stopped them from criticizing and wanting action against countries that they see as treating women as less. Look at how much faith Asians give Westerners that they'll do the right thing on their own. The West also has a saying, "No good deed goes unpunished." What stops a Westerner from doing wrong? Severe consequences. You think a Pavlovian dog knows causality after a year of dissociation?
Consequence of a culture that by and large cannot recall any meaningful history older than ~200 years.
