Did they not arrest the cow as well? It could have been leading him on. Or a Chinese spy or something.
Those devious Chinki cows and their honeypot schemes!

It does sound appalling. But what the Chinese leadership and business elites wanted to do at that time was try to diffuse tensions with the US and try to maintain the status quo. They thought that they just needed to give-in abit to satisfy Trump's ego, and then things might go back to business as usual. For example, China's relative meekness during the ZTE fiasco. China was expecting that Trump, a businessman, could be reasoned with at the end of the day. It was naive of China, but that was its foreign policy norm at that time.Quite frankly I am appalled by how many kneelers there are. It was only through the stupidity of enemy that China made the right call. This stupidity cannot be relied on. China should make good choice independent of enemy being stupid.
When will the US government learn that the issue is not Chinese ownership of some app, but how the FFFK the education system has failed when kids are eating Tide Pods and fried plastic
Clearly they fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the proposal, hence misinterpreted American intention. This leads to my critique of Chinese government. They are rational people, which normally is a good thing for a government. But because they are so rational they assume everyone else is like them. This make them out of touch of reality. They are like a highly intelligent professor trying to negotiate with local thugs. The reality is US made the proposal not just for show, but to actually decapitate China. Hypothetically if China got a more reasonable proposal and caved, there will be subsequent harsher demand coming with a similar artificial leverage.It does sound appalling.

What China wasn't expecting, is that Trump was far from a reasonable person. Trump and the US establishment had just initiated their project to halt China's economic rise. They saw China's acquiescence as weakness, and proceeded to escalate, targeting Huawei next, and demanded even more capitulation from China. Not only did they wanted China to stop the Made In China 2025 program. They wanted China to open up it's financial system to Wall Street banksters without oversight. They also demanded that China buy more US stuff than it needed.
After any trade meeting where China agreed to a number of Trump's demands, he then escalates the trade war. After the first meeting, he launched a barrage of tariffs on China. After another meeting, Meng Wanzhou was kidnapped in Canada. That was the point where China had woken up that the trade war is real. In between all that, there was the Uighur genocide, forced labour BS campaign. There was that HK attempted colour revolution. The that African swine fever outbreak in China. The stupid HK, Xinjiang, and Tibet Freedom bills getting passed in the US Congress. The numerous sanctions on Chinese firms and government people. Finally after the last US-China trade meeting, where China had agreed to another trade deal with Trump, Covid happened.
China was hoping that Biden would bring things back to business as usual. But alas they were wrong again. The problem is not just the US presidents, it's the whole US establishment. China had wisen up already. Now there is no going back. Trump is gonna return to office in 2025 for a Round 2 with China. But I'm sure that this time, China will be ready for him.
The idiots recently removed from power don't know what it is to be robbed at gunpoint. Hence they did not mentally or emotionally understand what was happening to them at first. Hopefully the people who have been recently promoted to top positions understand what this is, instead of just being more pro-American idiots.Clearly they fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the proposal, hence misinterpreted American intention.

Good thing China did not take the bait, but it was only a close call thanks to Trump being too damn greedy. The reason being Chinese politicians likely did not expect such absurd plan by US to askChina commit economic suicide. So they likely rationalized it was a temporary political show. If it was temporary, then it made sense why some would consider cave in and be done with it. As a solution I recommend the leadership to familiarize themselves with the hostility and absurdity of US politics. Sometimes a ridiculously hostile demand is not a 4D chess asking you to play along. It is just a ridiculous demand.
Hairstyle resembles some K-pop star, but face is nowhere near as good looking. Looks nerdy, and eyes are kinda narrow. He's probably a South Korean dude.To be fair I can’t tell different Asians apart either, at least not without my trusty protractor that most hate crime perpetrators can’t properly operate.
No, China’s soft power is incredibly strong, so strong in fact that white westerners owe so much of their advances in the humanities, science and technology to China eg Confucianism influencing humanism, American theft of 5G, western theft of silk, tea and gunpowder.It's not just Koreans. China's soft power is super weak. Unless someone has a significant interest in China, they're likely to be completely ignorant or hostile due to a lack of media presence.
