'We can't just trust': The thinking behind Trump's get-tough approach to China

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-china-strategy-analysis/we-cant-just-trust-the-thinking-behind-trumps-get-tough-approach-to-china-idUSKCN1HD2KC





Finally.
I've always felt that unless the underlying philosophies of two or more countries, in any kind of negotiation, were the same, then believing a country is doing what it promises, is a fool's game.
It's nice to see someone at or near the helm, finally realizes this.

The WTO for example, is a good idea. But without the power (of some kind) to back up their rules and declarations, then countries w/o similar philosophies, can just wave off anything the WTO says.

China for one, doesn't want to win while letting everyone else win as well. They want to win everything, period.
If countries like the US don't keep things like this in mind when negotiating with China, then we will lose out, big time.


Who doesnt like winning slightly more than everyone else though? Sounds like every government/human ever

Would be something else when China would drill at the coast of the US. Like the US is doing in the Chinese seas right now.

Well, that's the whole point. United Nations Convention of the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS), does not SEE the South China Sea as a Chinese territory, so to speak.
China wants to be in control of the entire South China Sea, because about 5 trillion in trade pass through there every year.

If you want to read about it you can...

U.S. House panel to probe China military footprint in Africa: chairman

When it was just the South China Sea, it was one thing. When it was just Xi, ruler for life it was another thing.
But now it seems that China is starting to make some serious moves on the old "RISK" board.

If it is just about trade, that would be bad enough. I have the feeling it's gonna end up being a lot more than just trade though.
