    Ha ha, Trump is being called out by China for lying:

    China also made it clear that talks should involve the cancellation of all tariffs it currently faces.

    “The unilateral tariff increase measures were initiated by the United States. If the United States really wants to solve the problem, it should face up to the rational voices of the international community and all parties at home, completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, and find ways to resolve differences through equal dialogue,” said He, the spokesman.

      I hate it that the Chinese government of all sounds like the reasonable person in this room.

      This is the same government that is execution genocide and you know, executing people for a host of mi or offenses, like being against the government.

      Yet here we are.

      I think it is word games. What constitutes “Talking about tariffs?” Each side wants the other to appear to be the one that comes to the table first.

        China doesn’t do press releases from the toilet at 2 am, one handed, with a burger in the other hand. China is not playing games.

          “press releases” is generous, unless you’re describing how he moves his bowels.
