DPST's will criticize if Trump does, and criticize if Trump does not.
It is about Trump hate, not constructive criticism of a loyal minority to cooperatively govern.

Deferring a threat is "caving"? You are confused about the use of sticks and carrots.

The unrest in Hong Kong is about to overshadow all other China concerns.

The world is getting ready to be reminded that China is still a brutal, repressive, Communist Thugocracy.

let's be serious for once

I say Trump caved, but I'm open-minded about a different spin being applied. why did he grant 4 more months, and focus on electronics that US Consumers are faster to purchase? is it about the Hong Kong unrest? if so, explain.

Hong Kong's airport .. which i have flown into several times .. unless you believe HoustonRiley .. had ALL flights canceled due to protests. Yesterday. ALL FLIGHTS.

little known facts .. from someone who has been there .. to fly into and stay in HK .. you do not need a Chinese Visa. Your US passport is all you need. to go into Shenzhen or Mainland China you do need a Chinese visa.


Chinese citizens and Hong Kong citizens need a "day visa" to go back and forth. or you can get a longer one. i think 7 days. been awhile.


"U.S. citizens planning to visit China's mainland must apply for an entry visa through the Chinese Embassy or Consulate-General. With a U.S. passport, citizens do not need a visa to enter Hong Kong, but travelers who plan to visit China's mainland while in the region will need a visa to travel from Hong Kong to China"

flesh that out.. what does Hong Kong "blowing up" exactly mean to the idea of delaying tariffs? wouldn't tariffs speed up the process?

I lived in Hong Kong, not just visited. I'd like to see a separate and fully Democratic Hong Kong. why hasn't Trump given any support? not even a Tweet?
