What are tea eggs?

It's an egg cooked in a broth that is dark like tea
Also, the joke is the news is from Taiwan (province), since those are traditional characters in the news headline

I got into trouble on this forum last year for suggesting China should missile strike TSMC in event of war, looks like the Empire of pipeline bombings already thought of it...

Anyone still doubt US would rather scorth earth than let China get ahead? This is why China needs to at least match US nuke per capita...

Chinese Liberals: Chinese media should learn from Western MSM.
CGTN: learns from Western MSM.
Chinese Liberals: no not like this!

Why would it be blown apart? HSBC Canada is a subsidiary. The one buying is HSBC Holdings or the parent company.

RBC would acquire 100% of the common shares of HSBC Canada, with HSBS global. These shares will drop considerably in value with the £1 to rescue of Silicon Valley Bank. The offered price is probably way to high right now to continue or if it remain, an horrible deal.

So, essentially Plaza accord with Chinese characteristics. If the economy keeps going poorly for America, that might indeed be how the trade war ends.

Don’t forget having a US taxpayer funded Chinese MSS personnel on the boards of all major tech and finance companies listed on the NY stock exchange.

Apropos of nothing, there is a famous 2001 Bollywood film called Lagaan which depicts a cricket match between Indian villagers and British colonial officers in the late 19th century. The evil Brits are demanding taxes that the village is in no position to pay owing to drought, so a wager is agreed: win at the foreign devil's game (which none of the villagers know how to pay) and no taxes will be owed for two years; lose and owe double taxes. No prizes for guessing who wins. The film is clearly intended as an allegory for the emergence of a confident and diverse Indian nation from colonial bondage, with the cricket team including a Sikh, a Muslim, even a Dalit. It's actually quite good.

it also had the Indian fantasy of an English woman falling in love with the Indian lead which was later symbolised by the UK being symbolically screwed by an Indian prime minister.

so basically no different to a sexpat who wanted to exploit China and only learnt enough from The Lonely Planet to order beer and prostitutes.

If the US is willing to "卖儿卖女"/"sell their children", then why not?

Won't be anything as dramatic as that, because Washington won't bite.

China itself already adequately defends Taiwan. It's a big mental block for America to give up claims there because they seem to have staked their national future on taking over a part of China in order to reverse the fortune of the cold war, and Taiwan is the only part that seems semi realistic to invade.

A deal needs to trick US into thinking "we will still have a fighting chance", only then can it work.

Lets not pretend it is a devastrating undertaking for China to lend its national power into temporarily keeping American afloat. Countries don't run on currency but rather the act of circulating currency. A deal with America will only mean more orders for China, more circulation of assets, which in the long run causes growth, not damage.

A modest deal, in the style of the Plaza accord, the forced transfer of some technologies, dramatic reduction in sanctions from both sides, a pledge to open American markets and grant legal equality to Chinese firms, that is in the realistic realm. In return China can bail out US like in 2008.

Every deal must be preceded by a show of good faith and when it comes to the anglos, that show of good faith will have to be massive considering their deceitful nature - just look at them promising not to expand NATO.
No, that act of good faith must include the ceding of Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and Australia and New Zealand to China as autonomous regions in perpetuity.
