Werent there reports before allegedly, trump orders like social media ops in CN vs the gov? Was it in NYT? Cant remember...If I remember this, it was John Bolton who had Meng Wenzhou arrested. Bolton justified it as a ploy to put Huawei into a panic, a risk that he thought that they should take, that was during the height of the US government versus Huawei 5G war.
Bolton did not tell President Trump.
That is probably why Xi and Trump can still communicate. If the Chinese blamed Trump for that, then, you know.
So fuck him.
